Mimi, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cool theme, good location, but some of the "retro" elements just felt old. Bathroom light was on a motion sensor so the lights turn off when you get in the shower.
James, 2-night trip

Parking was easy, but it cost $25. Most people were happy with the donuts for breakfast, but we wanted something healthier

Good choice in Savannah

We really like the Thunderbird. The location is great, the people are very nice, and you don't have to use valet parking. The rooms seem clean overall, but the one we stayed in could use a deep cleaning.
