At first glance, the Thunderbird seemed adequate to our needs. The double room was spacious, the refrigerator cold and the lighting a bit dim. But the closer we looked, the less we liked it. The hot tub was cloudy, the door to the room stuck and it seemed as if some of the guests were long term residents. How else... More

Very pleased with our one night stay, we had two adjoining rooms on the first floor per our request. Very nice lady at the check in. The property is older, but very very well kept and super clean. Our room was large with a flat screen, fridge and micro, all at a reasonable rate. We would stay again if we... More

We were very pleasantly surprised that this "bargain" motel was also renovated and clean with very nice rooms. The management was very friendly and our stay was a welcome (and economical) pleasure...Thanks.. More

Stayed one night, had two rooms. They accommodated our need for ground floor, as we wanted to have our motorcycles close to the room. Had exterior and interior doors. Rooms were BIG. But one of the first rooms had the AC from the upper floor dripping on us as we walked in and out and the floor was very wet.... More

Stay at the Thunderbird about once a year. It is an older property a bit rough around the edges but well cared for. Get your picture taken on the big bunny out front. Good local next to an average cafe and McDonald's. Rooms clean shower drains work well plenty of hot water. Heater in room 47 is all or nothing.... More

Stayed at the Thunderbird Lodge for one night in August 2011. Located right off the freeway, 10 minutes to Corn Palace. More reasonable than even the Super 8 across the street. About $67 for the night. Clean decent sized room. Has neat old character. Basic continental breakfast in morning (toast, toaster waffles, cereal etc.) Great stop off point if traveling... More

Initially we chose to stay with this motel because it was a locally owned property and the room rates were a fair price. The majority of the reviews I had read on Trip Advisor portrayed this motel as a decent place to stay, so I decided to book it for our Labor Day Weekend trip. In addition to my husband... More

On our national cross country motorcycle tour this year to Sturgis and points north, we rolled into Mitchell, SD minutes ahead of a raucous wind-rain storm system. Thunderbird Lodge was very reasonably priced and conveniently located. It's an older facility, but highly competitive and well run. Our room would compare favorable with any Chain motel room at twice the price!... More

The Thunderbird is a great alternative to the hotel chains. The room was spacious, clean comfortable, quiet, and with a coupon from the roadside rest area - a really good deal. I have stayed at this place more than once and been satisfied every time. I would stay there again More

We came in exhausted from the drive the lady who checked us in was very nice and gave us a discount - bless her heart. We had our kids in the room, slept well, the bathrooms are clean and a great option for the price. I agree the breakfast is enough to get you going in the morning, for us... More
