The hotel is dated, but was fantastic for what we needed. Quick walk to the beach. They allowed us to park before and after checkout to go to the beach. On site pool was great. Outdoor shower and bathroom available when coming from the beach. Office lady was super friendly. This is the first place I will check the next time I come back to the area!

This place is a classic, a little outdated, but perfect! My room was cold on the 90 plus degree days. Rooms were deceiving from them being out dated. It didn’t even matter. It was super clean, bathroom was impeccably clean,no bug, no dust or dirt. It was Quiet place in general.Quiet and we were right near steps. We walked out the back directly to beach, which was beautiful and clean. The woman at from desk were very kind and accommodating. The pool was lovely. My family and I had such a wonderful time making memories. I highly recommend the Thunderbird beach motel. It was perfect for a getaway that didn’t break the bank!
