Top Thunderbolt Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hilton Head Island by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

Hotel Indigo Savannah Historic District by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, great location in downtown Savannah. They have a $48 valet parking (that is required, no self parking). There is also a $25 resort fee. But, you get $40 breakfast voucher and drink tickets for each day you are there. I would definitely stay again and thoroughly enjoyed this property. Star was very friendly and a lot of fun."

Marriott Savannah Riverfront

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great; very clean, nice amenities, easy check in, and friendly staff. The room was comfortable, spacious, and had everything I needed for my work trip. The proximity to the conference center, shopping, dining, and sightseeing was great. I had one negative issue, and unfortunately, it was a significant enough to prevent my return. The hotel has posted quiet hours beginning at 10pm. However, the bar serves until midnight. The first night wasn't terrible, just the occasional loud bursts of laughter or raised voices. For the remainder of my stay, the bar played football games until last call. The noise of the game and the loud patrons echoed throughout the atrium, (which all balconies overlook) and could be clearly heard in my room. When I called the desk to inquire about why the noise was permitted to continue beyond the quiet hour, I was informed that there was nothing that could be done, as long as the bar was open. The man was very kind and polite, but it was clear that the concern was out of his hands. Needless to say, I did not sleep well and was exhausted by the end of my trip. Traveler beware - quiet hour may begin much later than advertised."
