    Great place with the boys

    Room was wonderful. Clean rooms. Good breakfast. Staff was very nice. Our two night stay was pleasant.

    NEVER AGAIN!

    Absolutely disgusting. Exorbitant pet fee and I couldn’t even believe they had the audacity to charge one once I saw the room. Would have left but we were on a tight budget this trip. Bathtub was so moldy, I wouldn’t even use it for a shower and TV didn’t work. I would give this hotel zero bones if I could.

    Convenient

    Love a motor inn when traveling with my dog. Place was set up well and had decent food options just a short drive away. Enough choices at breakfast for a GF diet. Would stay again.

    A tale of two stays

    The summary of my description is that this is a great place to stay when travelling with pets, or for a one night stay while passing through. Since we were travelling with our dog, it looked to me we really only had two options and chose the Thunderbird Lodge. We have stayed in Mitchell twice previously at the chain hotels just south of I-90. We knew we wouldn't have the same experience at Thunderbird, but the extra $ you pay at those chain places isn't reflected by the slightly decreased quality at Thunderbird.

    We stayed here going to and coming back from western SD and NE, staying in room 25 the first time and 27 the second. Everything in #25 met our expectations except the bathroom, which looked a little beat up or unfinished - the door was pretty beat up on the inside, trim was missing and the caulk job on the tub and surround left something to be desired. The fixtures and flooring and wall tile all looked new though. Everything else about the room was top notch - clean, comfy beds, the furniture was in good shape, a large fridge and new looking coffee maker and microwave. The carpet looked good and the vanity area was very nice. The temperature control unit was also very robust, which we appreciated as it was plenty hot. Also a nice TV with plenty of channels. Four stars for #25.

    #27 wasn't quite as nice. Large stains on the carpet and the curtain had a large rip right at the top. The bathroom looked about the same as #25, but otherwise everything else in #27 matched #25 in quality.
    There is a large grassy area right next to the hotel which was great for the dog. The breakfast was very good - maybe slightly below the offerings at the more expensive chain hotels. You are not supposed to eat in your rooms, but there are several picnic tables just outside the breakfast area where you can sit with your dog. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We didn't have a chance to use the amenities, but they looked nice. Three and a half stars for #27.

    Location was right off the highway

    It was fine for both dogs and humans. No marked area, or poo bags.

    Very Clean

    Stayed with my pup one night on my way through. The hotel was very clean! Nothing fancy, but a great price for a clean bed for the night. Breakfast isn’t anything special, that’s the only downside.

    Good enough for passing through

    Hotel was old and outdated. Cobwebs on the light fixtures, stuff blowing out of the AC unit, bathroom was questionable, and you could hear everything around you. The staff was very friendly, the bed was surprisingly comfortable, and having a walkout room was nice. Hotel was good enough for an overnight stay.

    Price and location was good but

    Located off the highway. Near food and gas. Room easily accessible. Parking in front of room. Outside door entry. Wi-Fi was good. My only complaint was room smelled of smoke, even though it said non smoking and I had to initial that I wouldn’t smoke in the room. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Room is outdated as well but I was more concerned of the smell in the room.

    Nice

    My husband likes staying on the ground floor where he can back up the truck right to our door. Makes for easier move in/out with the dogs. Sadly, most of these types of motels are older and run down. This place is also older, also run down, but clean with really nice staff. Room was big, didn't smell, bed was comfy. Nice little continental breakfast, too. Would definitely stay here again.

    Little run down

    Clean, but old and needs updated. Ceiling looked like it might cave in 😄 but it worked for 1 night just to sleep while traveling.

    Nice staff

    The motel is run down but clean. What makes it three bones was the niceness of the staff.
