Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a bad stay overall. The room was in very poor condition — the cable box was hanging from the TV, there were stains on the towels, ants crawling everywhere, and crusted candy stuck to the comforter. The outside of the property was also in very bad shape. I definitely would not stay here again.

The room was not as clean as it should have been. The bed spread was filthy, the sheets looked horrible. Good thing we were prepared with our own bedding. It was poorly cleaned.

Liked: Amenities
Pleasantly surprised by their prices and how quiet everything was overnight. AC, WiFi, Dish Network all worked with perfection and had no issues. The water pressure was excellent however, the water drained very slow in the shower I just didn’t feel like calling the front office for that. I would definitely recommend them and would stay there again.

The thunderbird is a work in progress. Will be fabulous when completed. The location is priceless. Off the main road. The room is super clean and large. The covers are way too heavy for summer but perfect for winter. Bath soap be nice. The shades are total blackout / perfect, every hotel should have them. Within walking to everything. Good stay.
