We stayed here for one night on our way to Yellowstone NP. The property was clean and reasonable for night stay. Received instructions for self checkIn and ot was very smooth. Overall good experience.
You get what you pay for with quality of rooms and beds. Fine for a single night stay on our way home from a long road trip. Staff are very kind and helpful; some of the best we encountered.
We have stayed here 2 times on our trips from Utah to Montana. It is the perfect halfway point! The rooms were large and quite comfortable. Their prices were lower than other motels on the same street. Everything was clean and all the beading (blankets, sheets and quilts were brand new. We will continue to stay here on our travels north!

The gentleman who checked us in was kind and polite. He had a great sense of humor and he held a ground floor room for us just as I requested when I made the booking. Che k in could t have been easier.
Our room was quite clean and comfortable. The shower offered plenty of hot water. The wall-mounted airco unit appeared to be new-ish, and it worked very well. But as is so common, it was rather loud during the night.
Overall, we would certainly stay at The Thunderbird, again.
Read reviews before i arrived. Some good, some not so much. My opinion is that a good review is correct. Nice people, clean room. Good location. Everybody sees the world differently. I was pleased with this motel.
We stayed at Thu derbird twice this summer (2023). The staff, and their rooms' overall condition, were fine...but we had to request "to be given another room" on each occasion because the beds were in such POOR condition. The beds in the second rooms were fine.
Very outdated. They use regular keys instead of card keys. The room itself is clean and nice but when I pulled up I thought I was back in the 70s. Front desk clerk was awesome

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel itself was a little dated, and google maps took me to the wrong spot, but once that was cleared up, it was good. The pillows were a little flat for my tastes, but I also blame myself for that since I know I am really particular about pillows and forgot to bring my own from home. Staff was very friendly and helpful. My only big gripe was that the hot water took quite a while to get warm when the shower is first turned on. The AC was cool and worked well which was good since the high was in the 90s for the weekend I was there.
Bathroom faucet sprayed water allover when turned on. Bathroom fan dirty and made terrible noise, couldn't use. Smoke detector was setting behind tv and looked broken. Window curtains covered up the fan on AC unit.
The bed was great got a good nights sleep.
I had a very hard time finding it despite using google maps, but had a very good check-in once I got here. The floor is a bit dirty, and there were a few ants, but everything else was just what I needed.
