CrystalAlways love staying their such friendly workers always recommend
JonathanVery friendly staff and in a great location!
LarryIf you are traveling and running late don’t book this hotel. If you are after midnight they won’t check you in and they will take your money. The common area was dirty and dated too.
NICHOLASbasic services for reasonable price great activity within walking distance
GretchenThe lobby needs an update. It looks as if it’s stuck in the 70’s. The parking was terrible and limited. There were questionable people hanging around outside. The whole property could really use an update. We didn’t even…
Verified travelerStaff makes the stay the best. Jimmy is an amazing front desk person.

Questions about Thunderbird Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Thunderbird Motel?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Thunderbird Motel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Thunderbird Motel?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Thunderbird Motel have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Thunderbird Motel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Thunderbird Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Thunderbird Motel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Thunderbird Motel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
