The rooms were a little outdated, but other than that we loved having a full kitchen for a couple dollars more. We were impressed when we got a phone call from the staff before our stay, and equally so when they greeted us by name at check-in. My only complaint is the shower head pressure was too hard and was pretty uncomfortable.

Best Place For Miles!

It's always a great stay at the Thunderbird! I love the small apartment feeling. Being able to cook my own meals instead of having to go out all the time is very convenient. And all the appliances make it a definite home away from home! And the staff is cordial, accommodating, and prompt, without being intrusive!

This is a wonderful budget friendly hotel. If you are like us and enjoy a good ol key to your room you are in the right place. It was very clean and close to everything. We were visiting family so we weren't looking for amenities like a pool, or Continental breakfast so this hotel was fine. will definitely stay here again in the future.

We were disappointed the pool wasn't open but as it turned out, we didn’t have time anyways. The staff was so friendly and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Great for a one nights stay.

Not fancy but pleasant stay

The check-in staff was friendly & helpful. Check-out was easy. We stayed 4 nights. They don’t enter your room during your stay, which we don’t mind. They are still willing to provide extra towels & garbage removal, if you let the office know. The room was clean, but the furniture is old & a bit worn out. The bed was comfortable. We would likely stay again.
