Thunderbird Motor Inn

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.

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.

Liked: The price was good and the sheets and towels and the bathroom were clean.
Disliked: Neighbourhood full of homeless people, overgrown vegetation and weeds everywhere. Location definitely in the sketchy part of town. Our room smelled of stale smoke and musty. Talked to the front desk but no other rooms available apparently. The bed spread was really heavy, old and musty smelling. Old tires stacked outside of our room.

Liked: The staff was very friendly
Disliked: The air-conditioning was loud, and the room had a funny smell, couldn't open windows, but otherwise it was good
