The hotel manager and staff were wonderful, really demonstrated an actual concern to address any issues that enabled us to have a wonderful stay. The queen studio was a nice size, separate bedroom from the kitchen/living room. Would stay here again.

Amazing stay! Staff super friendly, very close to boardwalk, clean and spacious room, felt very safe, bed bug covers, microwave, fridge, etc. Owner let us park there when we got there at 10am even though we couldn’t check in until 3pm. Our one night here was great and we will definitely be back!

Property was old, but very clean. No frills, no pool, no ice, just a place to sleep. For that it was fine.

We were missing the microwave plate and they immediately changed the whole microwave. The staff were extremely kind and regularly asked us if we were having issues and how we were doing in the town. Absolutely loved staying there and plan to stay there again.

Walking distance to everything

Staff was very nice and the room was walking distance to everything. Not a luxury stay but it served the purpose.

6/10 Good

We felt that Thunderbird was ok for a 1-2 night stay. The location was very nice being 2-1/2 blocks away from the boardwalk. Parking was convenient. The bed was not comfortable and no chair to sit in. Shower worked nicely. Would stay here again mostly for location only....and ONLY for a night or two. Thank you.
