Un posto eccellente! Colorato e pulito, richiama i colori caldi del Sud! Molto disponibili: siamo arrivati in largo anticipo e abbiamo avuto in pochi minuti la camera. Stanza spaziosa, pulita: hotel a due passi dal centro storico e dal visitor centre. Piccole attenzioni che fanno piacere: bevanda e dolcetto di benvenuto, ciambelle (donut) e caffè/te per la colazione. Consigliatissimo

Sub par

Due to unforeseen circumstances on the day of checkin I was unable to make the trip. Hotels.com tried to help to get the cost refunded but Thunderbird Inn refused to do a waiver. Your agents were helpful in this process however Thunderbird Inn was not. I could not have cancelled sooner as the circumstances occurred while I was on my way to check in.

The rooms were clean and bright. The beds were comfortable and the RC Cola and mini moonpies were a lovely touch. It is an older, retro building so there is outside noise but it's a great spot for a short stay.

The bed was comfortable

The staff was friendly and accommodating the AC was a pain in the neck. You could adjust the temperature, but it would only hold for 4 hours. The exhaust fan in the bathroom stays on 24/7 and drips water because it is so humid in the room, because the AC doesn't run enough to reduce the humidity. Rental of the unit was very inexpensive compared to other hotels, and we were only staying two nights, so overall it was a bargain.

Although the room was clean, the floors were always damp. Not sure if it was due to the product used to clean them or not.

Everything was great. It was very hot outside and the air conditioning was not working at the optimal temperature but after the sunset the temperature was better. Also, the staff was very helpful about it and offered to move us to another room and also got us a portable box fan. The only thing that bothered me and I didn’t like that they charge their guests $25 per night for parking.

Staff are great and super nice! Room is clean but the shower leaked water out because the part that was suppose to contain the water is super shallow and the shower curtain was short so water just leaked out into the toilet area.
