If you’re not picky and need a place to land for the night, this is similar to a motel 6. Probably wouldn’t stay there again, but they are getting remodeled and the staff are very nice. I think it was clean enough, just old and worn. It’s been there since the 50’s so it has some nostalgia vibes happening.

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.
