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. Though the decor and free treats are appreciated, they can't make up for the small, outdated, noisy rooms that are greatly in need of an overhaul. The hotel location is within easy walking distance to Savannah's Historical District, but the area directly outside of the hotel grounds can be a bit dicey at night. Cheap parking and budget rates might draw the most frugal of travelers, but the lower costs probably aren't worth the sacrifices guests must make to stay there.

The small, upper-middle-range Planters Inn is an authentic way to experience the Historic District; the inn's 60 rooms are decidedly Savannah, with details such as four-poster beds, floral prints, and dark-wood accents. Some rooms even have cozy fireplaces and shared furnished balconies. Some of the "charm", though, means somewhat dated, with complaints of old mattresses and some wear and tear throughout. A simple continental breakfast is served on-site every morning free of charge, and the hotel’s renowned Olde Pink House Restaurant is located across the street. There are few amenities here, but freebies such as wine and cheese receptions, warm cookies, and Wi-Fi are great perks that add value. For something cheaper in the area, consider the Holiday Inn Express Savannah – Historic District.
