The price itself is unbeatable. Super close to the beach and the pool is nice. Very close to the waterpark. 7-8 min walk to the northern end of the boardwalk. The room itself is pretty good at this price range. The AC is powerful in such hot weather.

8/10 Very good

Older hotel, great location, no frills but convenient and clean rooms. Nothing special to mention. Budget friendly considering other options. Heated pool was a plus, no breakfast offered but plenty of nearby options within walking distance. I'd stay again for the value and location!

Don’t believe what you read!

The reviews must be fake because the motel was nothing like described! I’m pretty sure my beds had bedbugs because I have bites all over my body.

8/10 Very good

Needed a quick place to sleep for the night due to needing to be in OC early in the morning. Check in and out was easy & quick. Did have to go to desk for more towels. 3 of us and only 2 towels. AC was off when we arrived but cooled down quick. Price was great but very out dated. Curtains don’t block all outside light! Over all 4/5 stars.

Courtnie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is nothing special but we had fine stay.

We were skeptical but had a quick weekend trip and chose Thunderbird. Short version. It’s fine. Our room was clean and serviceable. Parking behind the hotel was quite nice and spacious and recommend over the front. Location is excellent. It’s an old hotel folks. Hasn’t been updated since the 80s I’d guess. Nothing about it is nice. It’s just adequate. We paid 250 a night on a summer weekend. That’s a lot for a dive hotel but for OC on the weekend it’s about as good as you can do. If doing the trip again we’d have no issue staying here again. Expect very little and you’ll he satisfied.
