The room was very clean and you can tell it has been kept up. Ive stayed in several motels in town and you can see they don't do this. Stayed here for Country Calling so given the weekend the price was extremely reasonable. They staff here is fabulous!!! Close to everything you could want and if not you can catch the bus. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed at The Thunderbird Motel for the Oceans Calling Festival. It’s very close to the boardwalk, so we were able to easily and safely get there and make the walk down to the fest. Location is quiet and feels safe. The rooms are certainly very dated but seemed clean. The staff was super sweet and made things easy to navigate. If you’re looking for a budget friendly stay near the boardwalk, this place checks those boxes.

Last minute check-in

The customer service was great at the front desk. It took them a while to get the room key activated. Other than that the room was nice and clean. Not bad for a last minute check-in.

I didn’t like that I had to pay an additional $400 on top of my current room as a deposit. This was kind of unexpected for an already expensive room.
