The staff is amazing and that is as far as anything good goes. There was a white substance all over the bed skirt and corner of the bedside table. There was hair from someone shaving around the bathroom sink. The carpet is gross and the bedspread had cigarette burns. They did plant flowers and keep the grounds around the pool... More

I was very disappointed in this motel, the rooms were old and dirty and there was a hole in the bathroom ceiling over the tub. The attached buffet restaurant was undesirable with a dirty floor. We did eat in the bar area and that was ok. For breakfast you had to pay for orange juice with the complimentary breakfast, never... More

We were returning from Florida with a new pet dog. Wanted a location right off I-95 and needed a place to stay that would accept him. We have stayed here before, (last time 2003), so I checked pet policy, it stated they were allowed. Called and made a reservation to be sure it was okay (never traveled with a pet... More

We were traveling and decided to stop for a nights rest. We were looking for something inexpensive but clean and safe. We found the Thunderbird Inn for $55/night. This is not a 5 star hotel. The building is 40 years old and it shows. But the room was clean and the staff was very pleasant. The price included a buffet... More

Unfortunately we were stuck here for a week with a golf package which was overpriced. Rooms are very outdate, stunk, our non-smoking room has several cigarette burns and some kind of red stain on the floor, definitely no bare feet in this room, the microwave that we were to have was not there, the towels and wash clothes felt like...

The non-smoking room we got reeked of cigarettes. There were several different kinds of bugs crawling and flying all over the room. It could have been cleaner (lots of dust). The towels were small and really thin. We were surprised that Hotwire would rate it as a 2.5 star hotel. It was more like a 1 star.

Long story short, We booked another hotel and went for the cheapest thing we could find. When we arrived, they had given away our room. So at 2am we drove hotel to hotel with two kids in the car, trying to find a comfortable place to lay our head. Three hotels were sold out before we stumbled upon the Thunderbird... More
