Top Thunderbolt Hotel Reviews

The DeSoto

10/10 Excellent

"We chose this place for its location. If you want to be in walking distance (15 mins or less) of just about everything downtown, and the river, this is your place. We were pleased that we could just keep our car there and walk to most of it. We did rent e-bikes / tour to do Forsythe park, though. The hotel itself was somewhat standard. The bathrooms were nice. We did get a room with a balcony and it was worth it. You could see some of the large ships go down the river from our room. Finally, the staff was amazing. Especially the valet workers. They were super friendly and courteous. This hotel was great for our stay of 3 days with 2 adults and a kid."

Hyatt Regency Savannah

8/10 Good

"We only had the cleaning staff come in once while there. The beds weren’t made nor the bathroom cleaned. Only new towels and trash taken care of. First night a fire alarm was going off after midnight. The person speaking was extremely muffled when explaining the situation so we weren’t sure if we should evacuate or not. Had breakfast our last morning and there was hair on my plate. Had to send it back. Food in the restaurant wasn’t very good. Overall our stay was fine."

Beach House Resort Hilton Head

8/10 Good

"The Tiki Hut draws a lot of offsite guests, which makes it very crowded for the guests staying at the hotel. Beach access is excellent and steps away from the hotel. It’s a crowded beach with public access so it gets very busy. Walking distance to shops and restaurants is a nice perk of the location."

Holiday Inn Express Savannah - Historic District by IHG

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful stay! The location was ideal and within easy walking distance of River Street, making it convenient to explore the area. We purchased tickets for the On/Off Trolley Tour, and stop #11 was located right next to the Holiday Inn Express, which made sightseeing incredibly easy. Our room was cozy, comfortable, and very clean. We also appreciated that breakfast was included with our stay, providing a great start to each day. Overall, the combination of the excellent location, clean accommodations, and included breakfast made for a very enjoyable experience."

Holiday Inn Express Hilton Head Island by IHG

8/10 Good

"The only reason for four stars instead of five is because the corridors open to the outside, which means no air conditioning, and the elevators also had no air conditioning. It was quite hot outside so that made the space a bit stifling. Everything was clean, however. The location was great and close to a lot of places we wanted to go. The staff was very helpful and friendly."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Thunderbolt?

The best time to visit Thunderbolt is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is most pleasant for exploring.

During spring, the temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 18°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like strolling along the waterfront or visiting nearby Savannah. The local flora is in full bloom, adding to the area's appeal. This period is particularly good for couples looking for a romantic getaway with comfortable conditions for dining alfresco and enjoying scenic walks.

Autumn also offers excellent weather, with temperatures similar to spring, usually between 20°C and 27°C. The humidity is lower, and there's less chance of heavy rain, providing clear skies great for sightseeing. Families often find autumn a great time to visit, as the cooler weather is more comfortable for children to explore the parks and historic sites without the intense summer heat.

While summer (June to August) can be hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, it's a popular time for those who enjoy water activities. Winter (December to February) is generally mild but can be chilly, with average temperatures around 10°C to 15°C, and some days can be quite cool.
