4/10 Fair

Dirty Blue room

Room wasn’t clean, one towel had a big stain on it, the bathroom didn’t smell clean, had that funky smell. TV was bluish just like the room. For 112 a night, Thunderbird Motel can do better than that..

The room was not as clean as it should have been. The bed spread was filthy, the sheets looked horrible. Good thing we were prepared with our own bedding. It was poorly cleaned.

Ryan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Pleasantly surprised by their prices and how quiet everything was overnight. AC, WiFi, Dish Network all worked with perfection and had no issues. The water pressure was excellent however, the water drained very slow in the shower I just didn’t feel like calling the front office for that. I would definitely recommend them and would stay there again.
Felix, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very bad experience.
cédric, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The thunderbird is a work in progress. Will be fabulous when completed. The location is priceless. Off the main road. The room is super clean and large. The covers are way too heavy for summer but perfect for winter. Bath soap be nice. The shades are total blackout / perfect, every hotel should have them. Within walking to everything. Good stay.
Cornelia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Affordable. Comfortable. Convenient. Nice staff. My only complaint was my room had a noisy, very loud heater that cycled every 4 minutes. For the money, a great motel for a good place to crash.
Casey, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

the manager of the property accursed me of sneaking my dog into the motel without declaring it I told the manager that when I check in it was myself ,and; small dog . even when I made resevations on Expedia I was looking for dog friendly place stay at.
Duain C, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Bishop fishing trip

The room was small and very dated. The TV was very dark and very hard to watch. The hair dryer was pulled out of the wall and was laying on the counter. The shower drain was clogged and the tub filled up while showering. Overall, the room was not maintained and it made the stay disappointing. This is the first time I’ve ever given a bad review but I feel it needed to be put out there.
