I stay at The Thunderbird whenever I visit Savannah. The location is perfect. Everything is always great, but it could use a few renovations. It's also located right on a main roadway, so it gets very noisy in the mornings. I recommend bringing earplugs if you want to sleep in. The donuts they have for breakfast are excellent!

We loved the Thunderbird Inn! We went for my birthday weekend and it was just what we needed to crash in between outings.
