Liked: Cleanliness
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.
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..
The room was not as clean as it should have been. The bed spread was filthy, the sheets looked horrible. Good thing we were prepared with our own bedding. It was poorly cleaned.
A nice little motel in the process of being update
The gentleman at the check in was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and they are in the process of updating them. Our room had more electrical outlets and usb plugs than any other motel we stayed in! Only issue was noise from unit above us due to hard floors ...noise carries easily.
The room was small and very dated. The TV was very dark and very hard to watch. The hair dryer was pulled out of the wall and was laying on the counter. The shower drain was clogged and the tub filled up while showering. Overall, the room was not maintained and it made the stay disappointing. This is the first time I’ve ever given a bad review but I feel it needed to be put out there.
Wow, this was an unassuming but excellent stay. The beds were comfortable and they only charge $10 per night for pets. Thank you for a restful night of sleep!
