Nice, clean hotel in good location. Super helpful staff. Breakfast is not the greatest and the breakfast room lacks seating but it’s not a reason to pass on this property.

We came into town for one night to attend a concert at the Corn Palace and were looking for someplace to stay that was clean and on the less costly side. The Thunderbird Lodge hit both marks! The room was clean and well maintained and the staff was lovely. I would highly recommend a stay at this motel!

Very old hotel but it does look like they're starting to change and make improvements. Matches and sheets were clean and very comfortable. Bathtub looks like it was just replaced. Rest of the room was a little rough but considering the price if you're on a budget a good night sleep
