The room was clean, the staff was nice, the shower was hot and the shower head tall enough for me. I'm 6'2". I would stay there again.

Motel is very run down. Parking lot is full of stuff stacked everywhere. Old & out dated furniture, beds, bathroom & sink areas. A/C is so loud, it sounds like a diesel motor on high idle.

This was a bad stay overall. The room was in very poor condition — the cable box was hanging from the TV, there were stains on the towels, ants crawling everywhere, and crusted candy stuck to the comforter. The outside of the property was also in very bad shape. I definitely would not stay here again.

The property is very small therefore the parking is a little cramped. But overall my stay was good, everything is clean and staff is friendly. Pet Friendly is a plus for me too.

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..
