The hotel was amazing, super retro and a super chill vibe. Everything was very clean and the popcorn and donuts were amazing. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. Also there was so much to do within a ten minute walk from the hotel. The hotel is right next to the SCAD campus so there was some noise at night from the college crowd but nothing that keep me from getting a good night sleep.

It is extremely noisy, especially early in the morning. Our room was right at the base of the stairs, across from the ice machine and close to the where the housekeepers work from. You could hear everything going on outside the room. The room itself was ok. Nothing spectacular. The location was ok...close enough to everything but could get a little sketchy at night. I won't stay here again due to the noise.

I was a little leery about booking a stay at Thunderbird Inn because it had that 60's look and the neighborhood did not strike me as the best. I was totally shocked at what a wonderful experience we had. I spent a lifetime in the hospitality industry and the operation was so professional and the rooms top notch. I have operated many old facilities and understand how difficult to make them nice even w/ renovations so I applaud the efforts and the staff was wonderful.

The room itself was pretty clean and staff were friendly. While being “pet friendly” the property is located across from the bus station so a lot of noise for nervous dogs. Also, quite a few homeless people and not the best area. First night there, several cop cars were right outside the hotel at an incident. They had a synthetic grass path for dogs but if you want real grass you have to use the median in between you and bus stop. Again, hotel itself was okay but wouldn’t recommend the area especially if you have kids or a woman traveling alone.
