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!

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Room was very clean, very nice and quiet and a bit of surprise, because the outside was going through updates and repairs. The parking was ample and convenient. The only disappointment was the pool seemed to be under repair. But for the price, room and staff attention, we will be back!!
