“Good stuff, especially for the price...”
Here's the deal- For the price, the Thunderbird is good stuff. I've now stayed there twice while house-hunting on the Cape. For a place to sleep, and your not looking for a resort, the Thunderbird is perfect. Clean, decently convenient, can't complain. I've never had the breakfast, although I've been told it was there. Never been in the pool, but again, it's right there. I've never been bothered by noise, or anything really at this place. It is not a luxury hotel, and it has had it's share of remodeling, but again, for the price, it is hard to beat.
To address some things I've read- No, they do not have flat panel TV's, they have perfectly working CRT (tube) TV's with Cable, I don't see the issue(?).
While I've read of confusion about breakfast (they have it/they don't), they have offered it to me both time's I've gone, however, I've always been out and about and done my own thing for breakfast.
All in all, in my opinion, if your looking for a place to sleep and drop your stuff, it's a fine place.
