Summary: The motel is very dated. The outside was littered with cigarette butts. The room was clean and comfortable but very basic.

Summary: Very happy with this motel and location. It’s a motel! Don’t expect 5star but as far as everything we needed it was great. Friendly staff, parking on premise, rooms perfectly sized for our family. I’ll definitely consider this place first next time we visit Seaside Heights.

Summary: Thunderbird Motel was a good place to stay for a quick stop in Seaside Heights, NJ. Our room was clean, looked like new carpeting too. A couple of things to point out for our room (#10), it could use a floor length mirror by the closet and the door was a little hard to open and close, but otherwise everything was great.

Summary: Great place to stay, close to beach and boardwalk. Room had two dearooms and living room with tv. Fridge etc. All clean and loads of towels which was really nice with family. Lots of places to eat nearby. Parking was good . Basic but everything needed for a really great stay.

Summary: The hotel was very accomodating and the woman running the hotel was wonderful. The hotel is a bit dated but clean. You're getting a short walk to the beach and boardwalk for a good price. There's no pool but I came for the beach.

Summary: The first thing my lady said when she came to the room was “cute!”. It’s hard to find something to complain about really. They had the essentials (tv, microwave, mini fridge). I forgot to take pictures but there was no weirdness, no bugs or animals, everything was clean and the AC worked when I was there. If anything they did not provide toilet paper, eating utensils, or plates; that being said who cares! The boardwalk is few blocks away with good food everywhere and a 7-11 around the corner has all that stuff anyways. Also I will note from the room I was in, I was not able to connect to the WiFi at all with my iPhone, it seems like it was far away. Slightly disappointed because I wanted to stream hbomax/disney/etc. Whoever checked me in was very nice and accommodating and others were helpful as well. I had at such a good time at seaside I won’t forget it and the thunderbird was part of that. It’s a great feeling to come back from a fun time and rest with my girl in a cozy room.

Summary: I don’t understand all the bad reviews, so I bumped them up from a 4 to a 5, to hopeful help that. I don’t know what people are expecting. This is the Jersey Shore and this is a typical Jersey shore motel. It might lack the amenities of other motels in the area, but it has ample parking and is clean. Which in my experience can be tough to find down there. Also the staff was very friendly and even helped me book another night over the phone on a Sunday night during 4th of July weekend. Keep on keepin on thunderbird !!!

Summary: This hotel is close to everything, however, the condition of the hotel is horrible. Rooms are super old. Air conditioner is a stand alone unit that we had to empty dirty water from and the room was super hot. The entire hotel looks run down and rooms need updating in the worst way.

Summary: The service was great & the room was very clean. We had a really good 2 night stay.
