Thunderbird Motor Inn

Very good

Functional and affordable.

Liked: The location was convenient to my dental appointment early next morning. The staff was friendly and the place clean. The room was dated in terms of everything from decor through the plumbing, but they've clearly made an effort to keep it clean. And the towels and sheets were surprisingly nice.
Disliked: It's not in a nicer part of town. I discovered that it's close to the fire-hall as the alarm went off in the wee hours.

Happy with the room and...

Liked: Well maintained and easy access to all necessary stores,etc
Disliked: Had absolutely no problems, but the number of street people in the area was a bit worrying. Also the fact that the restaraunt attached was closed. Ate there lots during a previous stay and found it to be excellent and very handy.

Exceptional

Liked: Yea
Disliked: Real good saves

Good

Liked: Beds were very comfortable and clean with nice pillowtop mattress and all the linens appeared quite new. The staff was very nice and helpful. The area around the motel was a bit sketchy with many sirens often going down to the homeless shelter a few blocks away although we didn’t have any problems during our 4 night stay.
Disliked: Although the beds and bathroom fixtures were clean the floors could use a good scrub as our feet were pretty black if we went barefoot. A little paint would do a lot to make the walls and baseboards appear better and make the room more inviting.The bathroom sink smelled mouldy all the time but a bit of bleach poured down the drain could help that.

Won’t be back

Disliked: This place has seen better days. I booked it based on a stay here about 7-8 years ago when it was owned by a different family. At the time, it was well run and maintained for budget accommodations. When we arrived on our recent stay, I felt a moment of panic. The vegetation was overgrown, there were no cars in the parking lot. It looked like it was closed and out of business. It was in fact open and when I checked in, the rate was higher than what I had booked. Not the hotel’s fault, but there were homeless people camped out around the corner. Didn’t feel like the safest place. We won’t be back.

Disappointing
