Wonderful stay

Mel was wonderful and so very pleasant. The room was in great shape. The place is being updated and that is the reason for the rating of 3 in one specific area. But everything was excellent.

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!

The manager and hostess Mel was extremely helpful and made our girl's stay awesome!! Highly recommend.

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.
