The cute Thunderbird Inn met our needs for a one night stay. The bed was comfortable and our room was quiet. Front desk employees were friendly and welcoming. Coffee, donuts and juice in the lobby were a nice and unexpected touch for the room price.
1-night trip

10/10

The stay here was unforgettable! It reminded us of old times and was just the most unique experience. On a more practical note: the rooms were clean, the beds were comfy, and the little extras (popcorn, lemonade, RC Cola, Moon Pies, and fresh donuts) made it feel so fun and accommodating. Plus, if you’re taking the Old Town Trolley tour, you’re only a 5 minute or less walk to stop #2. Leave your car parked at the hotel and hop on and off the trolley for the day! So convenient!!! We will definitely stay again!
