The room was clean & comfortable. The fresh scent was pleasant. The host was friendly and helpful. The bathroom looked newly remodeled and everything was very clean. Decor had a retro vibe. Although the outside of the motel looked a bit run down, then inside was fine and we slept well.

10/10, would stay again

We stayed here for the nostalgia, it’s been 25 years since we came to the Thunderbird and it didn’t disappoint! I’m pretty sure the pool was closed then too - but we weren’t there to swim and it’s not advertised as having a pool. We just enjoyed the humor of it all. The room was clean and the guy who checked us in was friendly. If you’re looking for luxury, then pay quadruple the price and stay elsewhere! The Thunderbird Motel is a gem, an absolute classic and for the price, I have zero complaints. 10/10, would go again. Also, the carpet and interior decor is a vintage throwback - wow the memories!

This appears on the outside to be an older property, but the room was completely modernized. The bed was comfortable, there was plenty of furniture for any purpose, and the television was up to date. The bathroom had new fixtures. One caution: the shower stall was quite small - huskier guests would likely find it uncomfortable.

This is a very old, old style motor inn. When you drive up it looks like it is out of business. The outside needs some TLC. The inside is old but very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Air conditioner was loud but worked good. I would stay here again.

Clean , affordable , quiet room without to many cleaning chemical odors . Train track next door but thick walls made it not too obnoxious . Strict rules but I like it as I felt my vehicle was safe . I’d definitely stay here again .

This was the last stop on our 30th anniversary road trip. The room was clean & Mark was very helpful & courteous. He even called us right away when we left something in the room after check out - thank you Mark! The room doesnt have ventilation that we could find and the one window shares it with the AC. But overall, we were satisfied with our stay considering the nightly price & Marks kindness
