Only complaint is the room was on ground level and the curtains were so thin when the lights were on you could see in from outside. We had to hang a blanket over the window for privacy.

Check their beds!!
We stayed at Thu derbird twice this summer (2023). The staff, and their rooms' overall condition, were fine...but we had to request "to be given another room" on each occasion because the beds were in such POOR condition. The beds in the second rooms were fine.

Our room was quite clean and comfortable. The shower offered plenty of hot water. The wall-mounted airco unit appeared to be new-ish, and it worked very well. But as is so common, it was rather loud during the night. Overall, we would certainly stay at The Thunderbird, again.

I had a very hard time finding it despite using google maps, but had a very good check-in once I got here. The floor is a bit dirty, and there were a few ants, but everything else was just what I needed.
