affordable and convenient! the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. definitely not luxury accommodations, but more than adequate. front desk was polite and helpful.

some confusion about reservations— when I called to let the front desk know I’d be arriving at a late hour, they had a hard time finding my reservation, but it worked out there’s a trick to getting the water to come out of the shower head and not the bathtub spout, but I couldn’t get it to work. towels are shabby and rough— bring your own motel should hang black out curtains, but since they won’t, don’t forget your eye mask

I wasn't expecting a whole lot for this specific location but I was pleasantly surprised for it being a 2 star hotel. The staff was awesome and seeing as we only needed it for the night, it exceeded our expectations.

The only thing I didn't like is that the room was currently going through maintenance which I understand can be a thing. The AC made a lot of noise and the bathroom door didn't close all the way.

I live how quiet the area is. Staff are fantastic. I love not having to pay a deposit. Overall rooms are nice and comfortable.

The burn holes or holes in comforters make lodge look cheap and dingy. Floors could be mopped a lot cleaner or fully.

The accommodations were very humble. They only offer the basics and the tv selection left a lot to be desired. However my husband and I stayed in the king suit for three days for an early wedding anniversary . The spa tub wS shipped like a heart and there were room for 2. My husband is 6'5" so the fact that he could fit inside was a major plus. The air conditioning worked great and there's a fridge and microwave and wifi. There were plenty of food places with in walking distance and A neighborhood store right across the street.

It was a non smoking room. I would've perfered somking And yhe parking was a litgle tight But i didn't fear for yhe safty of my car or anything.

The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my family and I am so happy with our stay.

There's not anything I can say I didn't like. There's no other motel that has my approval like the thunderbird.
