Recently, I decided I wanted to move to Norman, Ok. I wanted to take some time to select the home I wanted, so first, I looked for something temporary and inexpensive. In the Norman area, it's not easy to find any inexpensive housing! I looked at some places that were more expensive, and less habitable, before finally finding the Thunderbird Lodge. I was pleased from the beginning. The Thunderbird Lodge is a landmark in Norman, OK, home of the Oklahoma Sooners. It is situated on a very scenic lot, complete with lots of trees, gazebos and a nice pool. Upon arrival, I found the employees to be very pleasant and courteous. The rooms were very nice, and more than affordable. I was able to rent a room, complete with a kitchenette, for $499 per month, and be in a nice, secure environment. Another bonus is their location. They are about a mile and a half from the OU campus, a big plus for OU football fans and students alike! It is also near many restaraunts, stores and gas stations, so you don't have to travel far for whatever you may be needing. PROS: Great location, fabulous prices, nice setting CONS:

I recently needed to find a place quickly in Norman, without a lease, because I am planning to move soon. I looked around, and was disappointed by many of the places I found. Then, I found the Thunderbird Lodge listed in the classifieds. I called my friend who lived in Norman for many years, and it turns out, she used to work at the Thunderbird Lodge. She told me it was nice, so I checked it out. I immediately moved right in! They offer nightly, weekly and monthly rates, with all bills included, and even offer free cable, HBO, phone and a pool. My five year old and I were able to immediately move into a small efficiency, complete with a kitchen with all the necessary appliances, and even a microwave! Their monthly rate is only $500, plus a small deposit. The people here are wonderful! Maid service is included, and the staff at the front desk are very friendly and helpful! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a motel in the area for either short term or extended stays!
