Best Place For Miles!

It's always a great stay at the Thunderbird! I love the small apartment feeling. Being able to cook my own meals instead of having to go out all the time is very convenient. And all the appliances make it a definite home away from home! And the staff is cordial, accommodating, and prompt, without being intrusive!

Look, it's an old style motel. It's not the Ritz. And it looks worse than normal because they're renovating. But the rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is great. For the money, you can't beat it.

I stay here often when visiting OKC and overall every stay has been wonderful. It’s quiet, the bed is comfortable, the shower water hits just right. And most of all the lady Mel is such an amazing person. She is very bubbly and blunt.
