affordable and convenient! the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. definitely not luxury accommodations, but more than adequate. front desk was polite and helpful.
some confusion about reservations— when I called to let the front desk know I’d be arriving at a late hour, they had a hard time finding my reservation, but it worked out there’s a trick to getting the water to come out of the shower head and not the bathtub spout, but I couldn’t get it to work. towels are shabby and rough— bring your own motel should hang black out curtains, but since they won’t, don’t forget your eye mask

I wasn't expecting a whole lot for this specific location but I was pleasantly surprised for it being a 2 star hotel. The staff was awesome and seeing as we only needed it for the night, it exceeded our expectations.
The only thing I didn't like is that the room was currently going through maintenance which I understand can be a thing. The AC made a lot of noise and the bathroom door didn't close all the way.

I live how quiet the area is. Staff are fantastic. I love not having to pay a deposit. Overall rooms are nice and comfortable.
The burn holes or holes in comforters make lodge look cheap and dingy. Floors could be mopped a lot cleaner or fully.

Staff was really nice and made sure we got our room quickly because we were early.
Check out time and the knocking way before check out.

The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my family and I am so happy with our stay.
There's not anything I can say I didn't like. There's no other motel that has my approval like the thunderbird.
