Solid Stay with Classic Charm and a Few Quirks

Stayed at the Thunderbird with my son great location, easy beach access, quiet even with a full house. AC, fridge, microwave, and TV worked great. Pool was spotless, linens, pillows and towels were plentiful, and the room had good lighting and a handy table. Carpet was heavily worn bare feet turned black. Time for something beach-friendly and easier to clean. No bathroom exhaust meant Once the bathroom door opens; odors get pulled into the PTAC return and gently reintroduced through the supply duct like recycled regret. The “eco” shower head was clogged with minerals had to remove it mid-shower just to rinse. Staff clearly care, but a few upgrades would go a long way. Would’ve liked in-room coffee and more reliable ice, but the safe was a nice touch and parking was easy. For the price, it’s a solid stay with character and potential. I would stay again. Thanks Thunderbird Beach Motel. Thumbs up!

Perfect weekend stay

Check in and check out was a quick simple process, opened up a nice clean hotel room, clean bed, floors, bathroom. A nice comfortable stay for a few nights with quick convenient beach access. A nice little pool area as well

It’s what you think it is. Good place for a quick stop to be near the beach. My girlfriend didn’t like the leaky fridge and did not get in shower. But it’s walking distance to why we visit here. We had sex in the bed. So that was 5 stars.

This property is completely outdated. The bed was very uncomfortable. There was no fitted sheet on the bed. The pool was not clean. This property needs a complete overhaul for the amount of money they charge a night. The room should’ve been in better condition. I don’t think it’s been renovated since the 1970s
