The Thunderbird Inn is a quirky and fun place to stay in Savannah, with spacious and clean rooms. The pet-friendly vibe and unique amenities like moon pies and fresh coffee are great perks. However, the noise from traffic can be disruptive at night, and lacking daily housekeeping could be a downside for some guests.
