You get what you pay for. I have pd. .>350 and got marble and chandeliers. This was over 4th and I wanted basic place to flop with a good price. This was perfect for this purpose. Staff nice. I use stairs. No bad odors I noted but I grew up with smokers and am not a fanatic. The place is... more

This hotel sucks more then anything. First it started with the people at the service desk it took then about 2 hours to let us go into our room. Then when we got to our room it smelled like smoke and we had got a non-smoking room, we had to leave the doors open for a few hours to get... more

In all I would say that the Thunderbird was an allright, you get what you pay for, type of hotel... The walls are paper thin. Every night and morning you could hear what was going on in the other rooms, and trust me you didn't want to. The pool was, to say the least, gross. Thankfully it was not warm... more

We had zero problems at this hotel. We stayed for 5 nights. The elevator wasbroken when we arrived but it was repaired by the end of the day. The ice machine on our floor was intermitent but there was another one available. Don't expect to see uniforms on the staff members but they are friendly and curtious. We kept the... more

Oh My GOD. You could not fit in the elevator. The sheets had stains on them from god knows what. The room smelled like cat pee. You will still be scratching three days later. The bathrooms where discusting. The toliet broke the first day and was never fixed and we complained several time. more

We reserved a nonsmoking room and it even had the insignia on the room door (202). Open the door and you're met by the stale smoke smell that permiates the room. Ashtrays exist on the nightstand and tv stand so you know this is permitted. Needless to say all clothes absorbed the odor and being nonsmokers, ychhh!!!!! On the plus... more

Would you like to stay at a hotel where the elevator isn't working ? We stayed only for a few days, but when my friend made the reservation he went there to check it out himself, the elevator wasn't working either. We came two weeks later and the elevator was still out of service. What does this tell you about... more

The hotel was liveable for the days that we stayed. I read some reviews for this hotel and some of it was true. The elevator is very small, the pool is small and the furniture is very, very old. The plus side is the staff is very, very, nice. The location is great because you are in the heart of... more

Just wanted to add my comments. I have lived in Virginia all my life. We have gone to Va. Beach several times, and the worst experience in any state we have travelled to, is in my own home state. We thought when we stayed there in 1999, they should tear the place down. But we had taken our small maltese... more
