A quiet, private place in spite of being a motel close to a major road, Thunderbird Lodge is perfect for a couple of days' stay. The receptionist was wonderfully helpful and the room perfectly clean, with a coffee machine and an option of adjusting the temperature to whatever one prefers. It's a motel, so it offers no breakfasts, but there is a grocery store and some eateries close by; the university and museums downtown are within 45 minutes of brisk walk. All in all, the place offers as much or more as an average hotel for a lesser prize -- I definitely recommend it.

Was clean and looked pretty nice. But you can see it is a work in progress for sure. They are fixing up an older hotel. Room was clean and so were the sheets. And they had a Queen bed and it was a smoking room which I liked because I am a smoker.. And it didn’t smell like a smoking room like some other place I have stayed in before.. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would stay there again for sure..

The fan in the bathroom was really loud and it would have been nice if it was on it’s own switch where i didn’t have to turn it on at the same time.. And the bed was kinda uncomfortable, but I’m not use to the old spring type mattress either. Other than those two things it was a nice stay..

The property is a budget one which is undergoing much needed renovation. That said, it had everything we needed and was a good value for the money. We stayed in a two bedded studio with good size fridge, microwave and full range/stove. Staff was exceptional and immediately responsive to our needs. Beds were comfortable, linens soft and the shower head was great.

The very tired and deteriorating interior finishes will do well to be updated. Cabinet doors sometimes were askew, carpet defects, etc. The unit could use a baking sheet since there is an oven provided.

The female host was very helpful by calling me 5 hours before my arrival time to check if I was having any problems traveling from Saline, Kansas. She even offered to stay past the time her shift ended to make sure I received my room key. I really appreciated the personal customer service she provided. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

The sign of the hotel didn't have a light on the signage making it difficult to find the property at night.

The person who checked us in at curbside was especially pleasant. She was friendly and welcoming, asked us engaging questions, and offered helpful suggestions to a few of our requests. She even shared some of her personal experiences... it was a warm conversation like I would expect to have with friends or family. I was very pleased with our experience.

The property looks older and lacks cosmetic flare. It is clean and we were pleased with our room.

Conveniently located near the interstate. Plenty of parking. Spacious room. Quality amenities; for example, the fridge was larger than most motels and had a separate freezer. Staff service was exceptional. The A/C had been turned on before my arrival and this was most appreciated given the triple digit temperature. If I’m ever in town, this is where I’ll be staying.

The staff was the best part. I believe the woman's name was Mel. She was so very friendly and went out of her way to make suggestions when asked, help us find locations and check us in quickly. It was cold when we arrived and the heater was already turned on in the room when we came in : )

I can't think of anything that I didn't like. The value was great for the rate that they charged and the facility was clean and tidy.

The location is so convenient to U of Oklahoma, where I had meetings. There are lots of restaurants within a half-mile or so of the motel. Thunderbird is an older motel, but the non-smoking queen I stayed in had been comfortably updated with a good bed, carpet, and nicely upholstered armchairs. There is a mini-fridge, microwave and Keurig coffee machine. Everything is spotlessly clean. If you don't require granite sink tops or a fancy lobby, this is a great choice.

The owners have a sense of space. There were many little "touches" that added to the visual and physical "comfort", that most motels, especially budget places, don't have. These touches made the stay very pleasant. I would call them "loving touches". The mural at the top of the stairs. The AC drip catchers. The room clors were well coordinated, and gave a calmness. Thank you! To whoever is doing them.

This is a continual observation: almost all the motels at which i stay, either need more plugs, or have the plugs in "inconvenient " places. I travel with multiple electronics. Thunderbird Norman might offer some more plugs. 🙂

The manager was very friendly and kind. She knew I was there because my AC had broken that morning (in 100-degree weather) and worked to get me a pet friendly room ready as quickly as possible. Because they are still practicing some of the Covid guidelines, she met me outside as soon as I pulled in and took less than 3 minutes to check me in without me having to get out of the car. She was willing to help me in any way I needed (including helping me get my big puppy up the stairs for his first time ever). I was very happy with her and the staff. It is an older motel so it might not be as fancy as other newer places, but it has been updated and is very clean and perfectly nice for an overnight or several days stay. I would stay here again without any hesitation!
