Thunderbird Inn

I’ve stayed in plenty of places like this on long work trips, and after comparing the prices and rooms around town, this is the best in its class for the money. The place is spotless, and the maid treats me like family. I feel like leaving her a tip every day. This side of town is unbeatable too. There’s nothing on the south end that’ll excite you. Enjoy!

The room was musty, the sink leaked badly, and the light by it was very dim. There were barely any outlets for charging things. I’m a traveler, and I won’t spend another $75 here. I hope I don’t end up sleeping with bed bugs. When I called, the man at the front desk quoted $63.00. I arrived at 3pm and was told the rooms weren’t clean, even though the parking lot was empty and I didn’t see a maid cleaning. When I came back after 5pm, he said only one room was left and raised the price to $75. He said it was the last room available, but there were only 3 trucks in the whole parking lot. So full?

The parking lot is big, and the rooms looked tidy, not dirty at all. I wiped the counters with Wipes because of COVID and found just a little dust. I’d have rated it five stars, but the shower drained slowly, and the heater and bathroom fan were loud.

Actually 0 stars. Avoid this place. I stayed 4 weeks, then during the fifth week I stayed just one day and got laid off. I’d prepaid for a week, so when I checked out I asked to pay the daily rate for the day I used and get the rest back. The owner told me his name was Pete. Pete said, “Sure sure no problem,” but he was busy painting and asked if he could handle it tomorrow. I agreed. The liar and thief still owes me the money and won’t pay. I filed a complaint with my credit card company, and they lied to them too, denying that they owed me money. My other issue was that they kept deactivating my room key one day before my week was up. I don’t think they should turn it off before the paid time expires. That’s a lockout from time I’ve paid for. BAD BUSINESS ETHICS. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!
