Thunderbird Motel

Thunderbird Motel

8/10 Good
"Hello-- we drove by the Thunderbird Motel one week ago on our way to a family vacation in California. We had stayed at another property on this leg of the trip. I told my two boys, "we should try the "Thunderbird" on our way home" since we loved the colorful and old-school road sign and because it is centrally located in Elko. Sure enough, the property did not disappoint! The front office staff was extremely friendly and check in was a breeze. Clean room and bathroom and we watched the multiple cable channels on the flat screen. My two sons enjoyed the free wifi. I would stay at the Thunderbird again since we drive through Elko once/twice per year it was price conscientious, clean, and has a friendly staff. Thanks Thunderbird!"
