Super helpful staff and a great location in Norman! Would stay there again anytime. For an old 1980's hotel/motel place, this property is well maintained, clean, and equipped nicely. It so reminded me of when I was a kid and did road trips with my parents and stayed in Holiday Inn motels back then. Overall pleasantly impressed with the Thunderbird Lodge!

The room was so clean! Cleaner than any room I have ever stayed in. Parking was great right next to the room easy to load and unload the car. The staff was great super friendly gave us all the information we needed to know lots of options for shopping and other things nearby. I would have to say even though it looks like an older property it was the best hotel we have ever stayed in , especially with the cleanliness.
