On the outside, the building looks run-down; however, the room itself was well-maintained and clean! The check-in staff (Mel) was GREAT! The location was quiet and felt safe. I would book/stay there again.

Hidden Gem. Under massive construction BUT the room was spotless: sheets and towels are white. Fully equipped clean kitchen with a dining table. Manager Mel is a professional with wings strapped on, I was locked out of my room Manger Mel came through and handle the business for free and didn’t complain about it.

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!

I was met by Mel. She was very welcoming and helpful. Its an older building, but you can see they are working on it. The rooms were very clean, sheets were nice and crisp. I would like the pool to be available the next time I stay as I do plan to stay again when I visit family. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a great deal.
