Room is pretty clean for the price the staff at the front counter is very nice air conditioning works exactly how it's supposed to. Your view is the building right behind you and the parking lot but for the price can't beat it great for a family that is on a small budget

This place was perfect for a quick getaway. We paid approximately $200 a night and while we did not have an ocean view, the beach was within a short walking distance. There was Keurig coffee always available at the office, the staff was so friendly and accommodating, and the rooms were immaculate. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a pleasant stay. The hotel was close to the beach and it was close enough, as well as far enough, from the boardwalk. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pool was really clean and heated which was delightful to use.

Decent enough location. The cleaning staff were kind and helpful. And the maintenance issue we had was corrected quickly. The price was right. Thats about all the good i can say. With the Thunderbird you certainly get what you pay for and that’s not very much. Rooms were old and gnarly. The pool and pool area was gross. If you can afford a nicer place, I highly recommend you doing so other than that if it’s all you can afford and you don’t mind old, noisy and somewhat dirty this is the place for you

I originally picked this place because of the price but after being allowed to come in early before checking in i was able to Park use their pool and go to the ocean which was why I wanted to go to the beach. Then after checking out, I was allowed to park for the rest of the day use the pool go to the ocean. The staff was extremely helpful ( I was even given a mini history lesson about the hotels that I stayed at when I was a child), My Room was clean and the hotel was well maintained. I will come again

You get what you pay for. This is a simple motel in Ocean City, MD. The property itself was fine, and check-in was quick and easy. The rooms are a bit outdated and appeared clean at first glance, but we did find a used floss pick on the floor next to one of the beds, as well as hair on the sink and in the bathtub. The walls and ceilings are very thin. Our neighbors next door were quiet and courteous, but we could hear every footstep from the family staying above us. There was a lot of running and jumping early in the morning, which made it difficult to sleep. The beds were also not very comfortable, as the mattresses were quite firm. Overall, our stay was okay. If you’re looking for an inexpensive place to stay and don’t expect luxury, it gets the job done.

The hotel is in a wonderful location. The rooms themselves are your typical older beach motel quality but the staff was friendly and it was exactly what we needed for this trip.
