Clean, comfortable and convenient

This was a good value for our one night stay. Nothing fancy , but right off the interstate and an easy stop for our road trip.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a pleasant overnight stay and a very nice breakfast to get us on our way. A fun thing of interest was a retro-type map of the city next to the breakfast room. By pushing a labeled button of interest, the place of interest would light up on the map, making it very easy to get around town, even without GPS!!!

Good value.

Beds were very comfortable. The ceramics floor tiles in front of the bathroom sink were broken and posed a hazard. Breakfast was very nice.

Great Nostalgic Lodge

My stay was a one night stay in route to Sturgis. An older motel/lodge, which is what i look for. Rooms were clean, and nostalgic. With "Thunderbird " in the name you gotta stop for sure. Breakfast was good with the usual stuff, waffles, bagels, cereals, fruit and mt favorite biscuits and gravy. King bed was very comfortable.

The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. The staff was very friendly
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms are a bit dated. The bed was awful and made a terrible noise when you sat on it. The AC was noisy and the TV didn't work however they did come and get it working. The breakfast was very poor and the seating was awful.
