Staff was very nice upon check in, it’s an old inn so don’t expect much. Rooms are very dated and old. Location is great right off highway.Metal box spring was annoying at times. Biggest gripe was pricing $80, this room should rent in the $35-$45 a night range.

Great hotel…comfortable rooms and checkin was super. It’s near many things and I would definitely stay again. There’s a restaurant right next to it as well as a gas station. Very easy to find and plenty of parking.

For the price, the Thunderbird Lodge was a good value. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the breakfast options fine. Unfortunately, our sink was slow and then it locked up and wouldn’t drain at all. But we were leaving so we didn’t bother trying to have it addressed. Had we done so, we may have found the personnel extremely responsive. I will say that everyone on staff was very friendly.

Was ok for a quick stop

It was a difficult check in, I reserved two rooms and it was hard to communicate that the rooms were in two different names not one. The man at the counter started yelling at me so I asked him to please stop and then he calmed down. The office and breakfast area were extremely warm, no AC.

Don’t stay here.

This place was bad. The people/owners at the front desk were very friendly, but this place is extremely worn down and beat up. I would not recommend it at all, not even to my worst enemy. The carpet was soiled, the walls had stains on them, the bed was probably at least 30 years old and we could hear people in the next room sneezing. It was gross.
Next to the bed, exposed.
