Top Thunderbolt Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Savannah Historic District by IHG

8/10 Good

"The staff was great. The valet crew was amazing. There was constant rain and it didnt slow them down. So helpful and efficient."

Holiday Inn Express Savannah - Historic District by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very well situated in the middle of downtown. Easy walking distance to everything. Only complaint was bar closed prior to listed time because it was “slow”. We would’ve rather had a nightcap after our day out and thought it should’ve been open regardless of clientele that evening."

Beach House Resort Hilton Head

8/10 Good

"room #229 never wasn't cleaned, just changing the towels, no sink and no toilet were cleaned and never was vacuumed the floor. sand and little pieces of paper were on the floor when we just arrived. But the resort and food and entertainment were just perfect.Beautiful pool and the beach view was great. The Tiki Hut another great place to enjoy food and to listen the music. We would like to come back but the management has to do something to keep the rooms clean and also the corridor to the rooms."

Coral Sands Resorts by Palmera

8/10 Good

"Clean, well-maintained pools and hot tub, and the lazy river was a lot of fun. There’s also a small pond next to the pool with alligators and turtles, which was interesting to see. Our unit was very clean and appeared recently renovated/new. The gym is very small and really only accommodates 2–3 people at a time. There are no free weights, although there is a cable machine. If having a good gym is important to you, this may not be the best place to stay. Parking is conveniently located right outside the unit. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance, and the beach is also an easy walk away but there is no restaurant or food onsite. Lastly, I thought it was a bit overpriced given the amenities offered."
