Easily accessible from I-90. Room was quiet except for sounds of people walking above. Very clean and beds were comfortable. Not much interaction with staff other than "here's your key and your room is over there". Still, we'd stay again if going thru the area.

Inexpensive and comfortable
I stayed at the Thunderbird about 8 years ago and was hesitant to do it again, but I saw good reviews. It has definitely been updated! What a difference! The property is old, but was very comfortable and has a microwave, refrigerator, & coffeemaker. No breakfast but the price is definitely right. I would stay again.

Traveled with family
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We are a family of 7 and usually have to book 2 rooms to accommodate us. Not so at the Thunderbird Lodge with their generously sized Family Rooms. The staff was friendly and courteous, rooms and grounds were very clean, and fresh fruit at breakfast was appreciated. Bedsheets were a bit pilly and scratchy, but that is my only complaint. Excellent stay for the price!
