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."

"The retro-style Thunderbird Inn is a fun, throwback idea that doesn't quite meet the standards of budget hotels in this day and age." Full review
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

"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
Lonely Planet "Don't trip on the wildly uneven floors in this old-timey hotel with a plum location. When reserving, specify whether you want a view of the city or the Savannah River." 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.
Travel + Leisure "Once a riverside cotton warehouse, this 200-year-old stunner overlooks the Savannah River and historic River Street, right alongside some of the best dining and sightseeing in the city"

Frommer's "Housed in a 19th-century cotton warehouse on the river, this B&B offers excellent value considering the location, though some of its rooms are starting to show their age" Full review
