6/10 Good

Great economy stay

The team here makes the property a great stay. There is a nice check in office, staff is on property at all times, and the rooms small but clean. The carpet and the curtains need to go. Location is also close to the boardwalk.

Erwin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a great place to stay especially for the price and a heated pool, only downfall is I didn't realize the boardwalk was at least 10 blocks away but a lot of other hotels were even further than this one.

Jeepfest at the Thunderbird motel

My son and I went to Jeep fest in Ocean City Maryland. The motel got good reviews, decent price, and was in a good location so I booked it. The good, place was clean and had a refrigerator and microwave. front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The bathroom had plenty of towels, wash clothes, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Beds were decent and plenty of lighting. The bad, the motel is dated(which isn't a deal breaker), the tenants that stay there are loud, not really considerate of others and come and go all hours of the night(not quitely). If you are a partier and just need a reasonable place to crash with a short walk to the beach and a pool, this is the place for you. If you are looking for a quite place to relax and enjoy the beach, there are better choices.
Thomas, 2-night trip
