The Thunderbolt Suite
 

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was the largest, most heavily armed single-engine fighter of World War II.   With eight .50 caliber Browning machine guns and the ability to carry rockets and bombs, the “Jug” (as it was affectionately known) was a ferocious ground-attack machine.   It was credited with the destruction of 9,000 locomotives and 86,000 rail cars in the European Theater alone!

 

Powered by a huge Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine, the Jug could fly faster than 400 miles per hour, had long range, durability, and the ability to out-dive any enemy fighter.   Because of this it was also an outstanding escort fighter, able to protect our bombers on missions deep into Europe.  (Click here to view a wartime Thunderbolt training video.)

 

Our Thunderbolt Suite echoes those long-ago days of World War II, with art and décor to match.   Our smallest aviation theme suite, it is still gigantic by modern hotel standards at over 280 square feet!   With a full kitchen, queen-sized bed, standard bath,  and balcony, the Thunderbolt Suite offers an affordable and comfortable lodging experience.

 

 And, of course, as part of your stay you will receive our signature “delivered-to-your-suite” continental breakfast service each morning.  Whether you take your tea on your balcony, or at your breakfast bar – the Thunderbolt Suite has what you’re looking for in a hotel room.
