Great for an overnight stay

We had a disability room which was huge and well equipped and very comfortable. It had a large lounge and dining area. My only complaint was that the power points were under the bedside tables against the wall. For anyone who was wheelchair bound I don’t know how they could be reached. Good location and helpful staff.

The Thunderbird was everything we expected from a country motel and more. Spacious comfortable room with all the expected amenities. The staff had a welcoming country attitude and were more than happy to have a chat. I seriously recommend the Thunderbird Motel.
