Fodor's "It offers all the modern amenities of standard brand hotels—flat-screen TV, fridge, coffeepot, etc.—but at a highly competitive rate for this part of town." Full review
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."

Afar Magazine "This vintage hotel packs more personality into each room than your average stay." 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."

"Overlooking the Savannah River, this former cotton storehouse has been reborn as an 86-room hotel that takes up an entire block in the northern part of the Historic District." Full review

DK Eyewitness "Located in the Landmark Historic District on the riverfront, this intimate hotel has rooms furnished in a variety of styles."
Travel + Leisure "Located in a former cotton warehouse, the well-priced River Street Inn has exposed brickwork, hefty wooden beams, and hardwood floors with that centuries-old look." Full review

For a view of the water, with container ships passing by, request a room that overlooks the river.
