Buffalo Thunder and it’s surroundings are nothing short of magical. The hills and terrain are Georgia O’Keefe country. The hotel is up to date, quiet, and has great amenities. We were pleased with the restaurant service and the hotel staff is welcoming and friendly.

The parking is so crowded and for disabled parking there is not even. The choice for food is limited. The staff is not as friendly and accommodating. The place seems clean but wall paper on the bathroom was peeling. There are people banging on our doors. Unpleasant stay. If I could do it over, I will not pay for this place. Thinking it was a Hilton but very disappointed.
