DON'T GO HERE!!!

No A/C in 100 degree weather. Everything was old and dingy. The bathroom was disgusting. Pool under construction and closed for the whole summer. Photos very misleading. We got a refund and left. Don't go here!

Avoid at all costs

I booked this hotel because of the pool and because I needed a quiet place for my conference call in the morning at 8: 30. I was woken up at 7:00 with someone running a gasoline-powered leaf blower on the sidewalk in front of my door. At 8:30 my entire room was shaking because of the jackhammering removing the sidewalk around the pool area. Needless to say the pool was not operational and nobody told me. I complained to management and was told nobody could do anything to help me.

Room was a clean. Centrally located with good food and coffee within walking distance. Check in was fast. Only complaint - bed was uncomfortable and we didnt sleep well. This is a retro motel, so review is subjective. For price etc, a good deal. Would stay again.

Truly a gem is this small town. The RV was spotless and special welcoming features. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked. And we thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor deck attached to the RV and along the small creek. Could not have been a happier stay!! Wish it could have been linger!

over all nice stay.

My son had a very comfortable stay at the Thunderbird Lodge. His only difficulty was that upon returning to the hotel at the end of a long day, there were no open parking spots in the lot so he had to circle around the area at night to find a place to park.

Pleasant stay — the best of our trip! Out of all the places we stayed during our 4-night road trip, this one left the best impression. The room was small but very clean, fully equipped, and everything worked perfectly. What stood out most was the very pleasant scent in the room — not musty or neutral, but genuinely fresh and welcoming. The only downside was that it felt a bit warm inside. Breakfast is included, but it’s quite simple — coffee, hot chocolate (no tea), a few types of juice and water, hard-boiled eggs, cereal, and several kinds of bread. It’s not a large spread, but definitely enough to start your day. We arrived late at night and were worried when we didn’t see anyone at the front desk — but luckily, there was a bell to ring, and a staff member promptly came out to check us in. Huge thanks to the kind and helpful manager! 🔔 Suggestion: It would be helpful to have a sign near the reception letting late arrivals know to ring the bell — we were genuinely concerned we might not get in. Overall, it was a great experience — clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Would happily stay again!
