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
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."
