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

Our room is always clean and spotless. The breakfast is good enough to get you going in the morning , which is included in the room... More

After reading reviews on Tripadvisor, we booked this lodge. We paid more than 100 dollars Bedsheets were not washed and air conditioner made terrible noise overnight. Recliner in the really old and dirty. If people upstairs walking, you can hear their footsteps overnight. Breakfast was OK. Their whirlpool is like a small puddle on the floor. Not worth it at...

This is not a fancy place. The beds and breakfast were OK. The owner/desk clerk was super nice on a VERY busy weekend (Sturgis and state baseball). The entire place was spotless. Frig, microwave and coffeepot in the room. In spite of a full house things were quiet. More

This is the second time we have stayed here while passing through Mitchell SD on vacation. The rooms are very clean, beds are comfortable, and the rates are excellent. Most of all, Matt the owner is friendly and fun to talk with, and helpful for local info. I usually stay at Hampton or Fairfield hotels, but this local find is... More
