Guest Reviews

• Bill (7/5): -
• Norine (8/5): staff were very friendly and helpful - right in middle of both fields we were playing at a bit close to residents living outside
• Oneiriac (9/5): -
• Phyllis (7/5): Clean, good location but under staffed. - It was clean and close to many amenities. The management was understaffed and the door was locked when we checked out. We were told that we would receive our $200 damage fee when we checked out( only after our room was checked for damage.) This could not happen because the office was locked and we had to drop our keys in the box. There was garbage in the parking lot which we suspected was from the homeless who were living in the area.
• Margaret (3/5): Money not well spent - The rooms were clean The staff are not on location and there was a party next door. I did not sleep at all and could not report the issue to staff because no one is available on site after 10pm
• Bertram (8/5): There's not much more to say. A lot of fast food close by, and the liquor store is a stones throw to - The sex was second to none. No one complained about us being loud, because we essentially had no neighbors! There's no daily house keeping, only when you check out does the housekeeping come
• Diana (7/5): We did get a good nights sleep which is what we needed. - The bed was comfortable. The property is within easy walking distance to many restaurants. The property is run down.
• Darrell (10/5): Awesome - Professional and kind Perfect family accommodations Nothing could be better
• john (10/5): - Same as last Nothing
• Brian (4/5): Not doing it again - Clean enough Drunks squabbling out front most of the night. Doors slamming and junkies in and out all night. I didn’t feel comfortable security wise
• Vivier (10/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): Efficient, clean with problem free check in and check out. - Old fashioned motel, quick to get into off the highway like the good old days. Not the best area of town.
• Judith (7/5): -
• Ryne (10/5): -
• Ryne (10/5): -
• Rose (7/5): -
• Michelle (1/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): Great - Friendly staff Hot water was slow in coming.
• john (9/5): - Location friendliness Nothing
• Nina (8/5): -
• Laurel (1/5): Booked to get a simple hotel for accommodation and did not even check in due to what we saw. - Nothing as we never went in. We arrived at the Thunderbird Motor Inn just after 4:00 PM and noticed there were many unhoused people hanging around beside the hotel parking lot and across the street. The lot was void of any other vehicles, a ground floor unit door was open to our left within 20 feet of our vehicle. There were several people in the hotel room that were drinking and open drug use was obvious; the man at the door moved a couple plastic totes and boxes and was drinking. It definitely appeared they were living there and did not look like any luggage was in the room. An unhoused man walked his bicycle past us and went directly to the man at the open room where we watched an apparent drug transaction happen. Within a few seconds another man came down the stairs from the 2nd floor with a massive black eye and beat up looking face. He walked directly by looking aggressively towards us. We immediately decided that this was not a safe location to stay at and risk having our vehicle parked at. As we started to back up another man came out of the open ground floor room and was asking strange questions about our vehicle. We left promptly and drove several kilometers away to find a safe location for our stay.
• Wolf (8/5): -
• foxtrot (1/5): -
• Klara (3/5): -
• Kevin (8/5): -
• David (5/5): - Room needed to be redecorated.
• Robert DeMaere (7/5): -
• Hugh (9/5): Happy with the room and staff. Hotel was well maintained ad clean. - Well maintained and easy access to all necessary stores,etc Had absolutely no problems, but the number of street people in the area was a bit worrying. Also the fact that the restaraunt attached was closed. Ate there lots during a previous stay and found it to be excellent and very handy.
• Sujin (7/5): - 직원 친절 가격저렴
• Cornelia (7/5): -
• Nasser (1/5): Nothing to enjoy - Not a good location. D For the price we paid got a room close to 3 trash cans and some chairs and table right in front of our door way .Couldn’t close bathroom door completely and soap were quite small hardly able to use it .
• Lee (10/5): - Yea Real good saves
• Randy (7/5): -
• CHIH-CHENG (6/5): -
• Joseph (10/5): -
• John (7/5): -
• ovinma (8/5): -
• Christina (8/5): - Beds were comfortable, medium firm which we like. Rooms were clean. Blackout curtains were very effective at keeping the outside lights out
• Tonya (9/5): -
• Ronda (7/5): It is a budget hotel with comfortable beds, in a city with few options. But the area is terrible. - The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The sheets and towels were clean. There are lots of restaurants and stores within walking distance. Also there is easy access to the major roads. There was a lack of hot water during our stay. Lukewarm to cold showers are not appreciated after a long night of travel. We booked at this hotel a few years ago and liked it. The room then was overall cleaner (floors, walls) and in better repair than now. The hotel is certainly showing its age. Other patrons were noisy at times. The biggest shame is that the area has gone downhill. There are homeless people, drug addicts everywhere, and a tent city one street over. I realize that is out of the hotel owner’s control, but I would not bring children to this area. I did not walk outside in the area alone either.
• Nelly (10/5): - The. rooms were clean and spacious, the people working there were very friendly. Over all the property was well keep
• Nelly (10/5): Relax while working! - It was close to where I was working, and it was very clean. There was nothing I personally don’t like. Over all I think the property was well keep.
• Manisha (3/5): This place gave me a bed bugs bite - Just the price point. Room had a blood stain on one of the beds, but we didn't use that one as thankfully we had two queen beds in our room. Staff is friendly, appreciate the housekeeping and the Asian manager. The property looks creepy AF. The reception STINKS, like I'm not even kidding. Something's wrong with this. To save some $ we decided to book this one, but holy s***, this place needs help and maybe a health inspector. FYI my body had bed bugs bite.
• stephen (6/5): -
• Roland (1/5): Furchtbar!!!! - Nichts hat uns gefallen. Motel des Grauens. Gehen Sie da nicht hin!! Die Umgebung ist absolut gefährlich. Obdachlose und Drogenabhängige überall auch auf dem Parkplatz des Motels. Überall Müll. Das Zimmer ist alt und schmuddelig. Das Schlimmste: BETTWANZEN!!!! Obwohl die Matratzen neu waren kamen ab 22 Uhr sobald es dunkel war die Bedbugs raus. Wir sind noch nachts abgereist. Dabei haben wir Obdachlose beim Plündern von Koffern neben dem Motel gesehen. Die Kaution von 200 Dollar wurde erst nach mehreren Werktagen zurück überwiesen.
• Behzad (8/5): -
• Harold (8/5): -
• Derk Jan (7/5): Prima accommodatie - Prima ligging t.ov. de weg n Victoria en fijn dat we de was konden doen. Ruime kamer, prima bed. Vriendelijk personeel.
• JESUS (5/5): Alojamiento para dormir con baño particular - Alojamiento que cumple su función para dormir con baño independiente. una de las habitaciones tenía mal olor
• Melissa (6/5): - The room was ok but the parking lot when I pulled up was disgusting and dirty…homeless people sleeping on ground all around hotel. Didn’t feel safe there at all. When I started the tub the water came out dirty at first which is a pretty big turn off. Won’t stay here again.
• Melissa (8/5): - It's located in a strategic area, also next to the homeless. The room floors are not mopped, I had to clean it twice myself. Staff are super friendly and nice
• Hugh (8/5): - The reception staff was nice and helpful and the room is very clean. For the price it was excellent.
• Grant (6/5): Motor Inn that has seen better days - The Thunderbird Motor Inn is old and shows it. Bathtub tax dripped, vanity taps were loose, cleaning was superficial, security minimal. Motel is also in an area where there are many homeless people. They caused no problem for us but it wasn’t a comfortable area to walk. Staff were very helpful and responsive, but there wasn’t much they could do. After we left, my wife discovered her cell phone was missing and we went back to the Motel to see if it had been left there. Staff were very helpful to us as we searched (unsuccessfully) for the phone. We later found it packed in a suitcase (oops) but want to thank the staff (office and cleaning) who helped us look for it.
• Luca (8/5): -
• Kabal (10/5): - All good
• Merrithew (4/5): When I mentioned we had a mouse I was told "it's OK". No offer of a refund or discount, very disappo - No breakfast avail Mouse droppings on our sink counter
• David (10/5): - Friendly staff, clean room, everything as expected.
• Shelley (2/5): - Very unsafe neighborhood. Dirty room, toilet that didnt flush. People screaming from the hotel room next to us. We couldn’t even stay had to leave and they wouldn’t refund us the money. We walked in the room and right back out. Awful.
• Jamie (4/5): - Mouse infested. Droppings all over bathroom sink and countertops.
• Satpal Singh (10/5): - Average
• Oliver (10/5): - Clean and Easy to park.
• Bassam (6/5): - The property was not well cared for. The first impression from the office was very dirty and unkept. The first staff is ho checked us in was not presentable and wore dirty clothing. The two good points about it was the price and the bed sheets and pillows were clean.
• Deena (8/5): - Very quiet at night, hot shower, and it’s down the street from a good skatepark.
• Tom (8/5): - For the cost this is a great hotel and was clean with comfortable beds
• Parmvir (2/5): No good .. - Absolutely incompetent staff ! They were unable to find out booking from the itinerary number & the Hotels.com confirmation. We will refrain from using this place again.
• Toni (10/5): - Super friend upon check in. Great room. Clean and cozy. Very close to all sorts of things
• Lindsay (4/5): - Desk not open 24 h was closed at 9:15 am on a weekday. Bad area lots of homeless. Room not cleaned when requested. Staff entered when do not disturb sign was on and touched our belongings, huge invasion of privacy, front desk staff rude and not helpful if they even bother showing up or answering phone. Local amenities closed/in poor condition.
• Ron (6/5): - The hotel offers free wi-fi, and laundry costs are very reasonable to use the washer & dryer, as is the cost to buy the detergent at the front desk. The staff is extremely friendly & helpful. I really enjoyed my stay here.
• Abe (10/5): - Great place for the price.
• Virginia (6/5): - Older motel but very clean.
• Drew A (6/5): Was ok after tlc - It was clean and comfortable, after a descenting. Initially upon walking into the room there was a heavy stale smoke smell even though it was a non smoking room. After a quick going over with my febreeze which I always travel with, it was much better.
• M Mafizur (8/5): - Reasonably good
• Ralph (3/5): - Scary
• Coreen (3/5): I would not reccommend this hotel - The manager was accommodating but the room was damp, smelly garbage below our door that was there for 3 days of our stay. Our friends room has fruit flys continually and they were not giving an option of another room and nothing was done to get rid of flys for the 6 days we were there. Homeless neighborhood. Large Garbage bins full and not being emptied. The whole hotel is in bad need of repairs.

• Dailene (8/5): - An older property but very clean and kept up. Bed was comfortable and the bedding and towels good quality. Microwave and heating/cooling unit in the room worked well. Easy walk to food and coffee. Good price. Would definitely stay there again.
• Melissa (4/5): Great water pressure. - I booked 9 rooms for a business trip most rooms were ok. Beds are hard, bathrooms were clean, but everything is pretty run down and in need of a refresh
• Mike (7/5): - Location Some of the guests were noisy during the night
• Michael (10/5): - A bit of homelessness in the area. the parking lot well lit in my car was fine. Did not feel unsafe walking past the unhoused.
• Stan (10/5): - Clean, functional. Very friendly staff, good value.
• Sandra (9/5): Decent place for a night or two - Walking distance to a few different restaurants was good after a long day of driving…although not the best area of town, we felt quite secure. It was quiet, comfy and clean
• Kular (8/5): - Nice staff,
• Charles (8/5): - Big garbage cans full and an old broken fridge by the stairs. Broken glass in the parking lot. Had a good sleep.
• Anna (8/5): - The property is very old but everthing is working well.
• Michael (8/5): - Homelessness area
• Cheryl (10/5): - Older building needs some maintenance
• Verified traveler (8/5): Clean room, good location. Noisy in morning. - The room was okay. Location is good with several restaurants in walking distance. The negative is that the owner (I think) stood outside our door in the morning talking to another guest for a long time. It was loud and we could hear every word. I had to open the door and tell them to go talk somewhere else.
• Naresh (10/5): - Good to stay in budget friendly
• Erika (6/5): - Old, not well cared for, terrible area
• Mahima (6/5): - The rooms itself were decent but the overall area of the motel and environment wasn’t the best. Not all rooms had the same amenities which sucks. The staff very average and gave bland replies to questions.
• George (8/5): -
• Theodore (10/5): - Meh
• Rick (9/5): Comfortable and quiet - Good location.
• Florin (7/5): -
• songping (2/5): - So many flies, spiders, couch looks dirty too
• Daryn (10/5): - What really made my dtay exceed my expectations was Norma the cleaner. She went far above and beyond her duties to ensure everything was perfect. I had to change rooms on a stat when office opened a little later and Norma just swooped in like bat woman and saved the day.. special thanks to Norma
• Kevin (6/5): -
• Michael (3/5): Not happy, will not stay there again. - Was next to main highway. We arrived 20 mins before 3 pm check in, I asked if check in was at 3 and was told yes. We left to go shopping and came back at 4 pm and was told room was not ready and she would ask housekeeping how long. She said they need to just do the bed up. So we waited and they did a whole room cleaning as nothing was done. 45 mins later at 4:45 pm they were done in the room. Room smelt like stale beer. There were little flies like fruit flies flying all around in room. We were not impressed with this motel.
• Casey (5/5): -
• Lakesh (4/5): - The rooms were stinky and there were flies in the room.
• Sam (8/5): - Well worthy
