6/10 Good

The Thunderbird is acute mid century style motel. The lobby is neat and the breakfast is pretty generous. The parking lot isn’t OK shape. The rooms are just OK but in need of fresh paint and repairs of such things as wood trim that is scratched and old. Also, the room wasn’t clean that well as I found change other things lying about the carpet. Sketch people staying at the motel and the surrounding area is questionable.
