Super helpful staff and a great location in Norman! Would stay there again anytime. For an old 1980's hotel/motel place, this property is well maintained, clean, and equipped nicely. It so reminded me of when I was a kid and did road trips with my parents and stayed in Holiday Inn motels back then. Overall pleasantly impressed with the Thunderbird Lodge!
