Top hotels in Thunderbolt
The Desoto Savannah
Without explanation, the pool was closed and we were made to feel ignorant for even asking for an explanation since we should have known the pool was “seasonal”. That’s not how it was advertised.

JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District
Review would have been 5 star all around except for the noise from the "rooftop" restaurant which was close to our room on the 4th floor of a six floor building

Beach House Resort Hilton Head
The staff was helpful and kind. The rooms were a bit dirty (floors, hairs in bathroom, corners of rooms were dirty and discolored), but nothing that bothered us too much. The pool was great, the water machine was a fun addition, and the location was unbeatable!
