As anon brand budget motel, Thunderbird far exceeded expectations. Rooms were spotless, mattresses were thick and supportive without being stiff, linen was clean and smelled freshly laundered. Three queen size beds in the suite was perfect for us. Everything worked as expected, new toilets and sinks, the AC kept the room cool and comfortable without a big temperature change. Cleanest hotel we stayed at in the two weeks in NM traveling, far cleaner than any Marriott or holiday inn in the state.

Nothing really. The location is a little barren, however it was quiet, and VERY easy highway access. It felt safe and I forgot how convenient it is to have the car right at your door!

When I first pulled up I was thinking maybe not, it’s an old time motel and looks a bit worn. I right away said to the owner at check in I need to see the room first before I decide to stay. He was most accommodating and extremely pleasant. The room was scrupulously clean and all the desired things in place. Coffee machine well stocked, also spacious fridge and freezer as well as a microwave. Bathroom is sparkling clean with plenty of soft towels and bathing necessities, it even had a window I could open that backed onto a field. This was a major plus for me as I have to release the moist air to breathe comfortably. Very comfortable bed and bedding was welcome. The owners are lovely people who encouraged me to join them as the super blue moon rose over the motel. A beautiful sight that I felt was quite safe to enjoy. There’s a little place close by with most excellent homemade food at very affordable prices and a great owner who went out of her way to accommodate my unusual requests. I absolutely loved the motel and kinda wanted to keep it to myself, but really they deserve a stellar review.

Nothing really

Just 1/2 mile off of I25 on a well-lit street - I think the old highway. An older motel that has been completely refurbished on the inside. New bathroom, new windows, and fresh paint. Flooring may be new too. Very clean room nice size. Bigger than microtel, about the same or bigger than a Days Inn. We had a very comfortable king size bed. An old-style footprint with parking was right in front of our room. Room access door opens to the parking makes for very convenient access. We were traveling from Wellington CO to PHX and this was great for our one-night stop over. Saved $65 versus the Holiday Inn Express down the street.

Only one ceiling light in the room. Could have used one or two bedside lights. Also, only one bedside nightstand. Could use one on each side. This is a minor complaint. It really didn't affect our stay.

Super clean room with a very comfortable bed. The room was small but had recently been updated. It was adequate and had everything we needed for a two-night stay. Air conditioning worked great and the room overall was very comfortable.

Must admit that when I saw the outside I wondered if we'd made a good decision to book online. It's not impressive on the outside, but the rooms are nice and you can't beat the price for a clean, comfortable room.

Do not be intimidated by the exterior of the Thunderbird. We were skeptical when we pulled up but after seeing the room, immediately felt like we had made the right decision staying at the Thunderbird. The bed was very comfortable, the room was clean, had everything we needed and had a great shower. Based on our experience, we can comfortably recommend the Thunderbird to other travelers.

the girl at the frontdesk was friendly. The room was very clean. The fridge is almost soundless, Good coffeemaker. Very good light in the room. This motel is better as some bigger and more expensive hotels. They did a great job with the renovation

I can not think of anything

Very impressed with this remodeled motel! Bed was super comfortable. Location was quiet. Fixtures were all updated. Friendly staff. Would definitely stay there again!

All good!

People were great, the room was nice, and it's an old motor inn, so it wasn't fancy, but it was clean, and that counts for everything, right? I had to move stuff from inside my car, and it was easy to do that. I would stay here again. It's not five-stars, but again, it was clean and the lobby people were friendly! That's huge!

It was fine. I stayed the night, and drove away well rested.

It's clear that this motel is well taken care of. The room is clean, the bed is clean and comfortable, the bathroom is clean. Infact it was one of the best decisions we made during our road trip. We had to make a stop somewhere and this popped up with good value. Raj is a great owner!

Great access to highway and excellent restaurant across the street. Very quiet. Room was old but in excellent upkeep.

The bed was super clean and comfortable but the bed was slightly tilted towards the head of the bed. Not great if you have reflux and need to sleep with your head/chest slightly elevated. I should have flipped the pillows and bedding to the foot of bed to sleep but I was too tired.
