Lonely Planet "A little dab of Palm Springs, a little dip of Vegas best describes this renovated vintage-chic 1964 motel that wins its own popularity contest." Full review
Rough Guide "Quirky vintage motel with retro fittings, opposite the Greyhound station. Free Krispy Kremes and wi-fi."

"The retro-style Thunderbird Inn is a fun, throwback idea that doesn't quite meet the standards of budget hotels in this day and age." Full review
Afar Magazine "This vintage hotel packs more personality into each room than your average stay." Full review
Frommer's "Although it's within a 5-minute walk from the edge of Savannah's Historic District, the Sputnik-era architecture of this "hip hotel" makes it seem a world away." Full review
New York Times "The Thunderbird Inn, a former roadside motel on the west side of downtown, has bright '60s furniture, rotary phones and a complimentary Moonpie on every pillow. Doubles from around $150."
