A plus
Great place to stay for an event at the university. Right on the Main Street to it with plenty of restaurants and gas stations nearby. Highly recommended

The Queen of Norman's two-star inns?
The first thing that I noticed upon entering my room was the ancient TV. While surprising, I immediately realized that it would not affect my comfort, as my eyes are typically glued to my phone or another screen that travels with me. My room was furnished as was typical for a nicer motel of a couple of decades ago, but was immaculately clean, with a solid door. The shower was excellent. The exterior of the building similarly could use some updating, but again, was very clean and well lit. The only staff member that I encountered was a very friendly and helpful manager by the name of Mel. Her attitude was quite remarkable. Because of her, I left town confident that I will be returning to Thunderbird on future visits to Norman, despite my mild disappointment with the firmness of my mattress. When I told the friends I was visiting in Norman of my experience, they told me that it was far better that what they heard from another recent guest who stayed at a competing "chain" Inn of a similar tier.

Too many stairs
Was given a second floor room when there were plenty of ground floor rooms available. Dirty washrag still in shower from previous occupant. Other than that, the room was good sized and nice

Mel was very helpful & super informative. We had a great stay. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable as well. The hotel needs some type of renovation on the outside & my son was disappointed the pool was closed. But overall clean comfortable stay.

Mel made me feel like family, she was super sweet and helpful and got me checked in to my room. I haven’t experienced such a pleasant check-in in a while. The room was clean and cozy, and check out was very simple. It was also super close to the Riverwind Casino which was my purpose for staying here. 10/10 Recommend!

Mel checked us in, late arrival, and was very bubbly and friendly and had great knowledge of the area. We enjoyed visiting with her. The outside is older but the interior has been updated and is very clean. Would stay again!
