“Like a trip back to the fifties”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2007

people found this review helpful

This place is older, but fairly well maintained and very clean. The people are super nice...they are among the last ones left in the area...the rest have been converted to apartments for the college students. There was some street noise, but not overly loud.

This is a GREAT place to sleep on the way to Yellowstone. Much of it is original and very quaint...but the bed was newer and the shower was hot and strong. A good value for the price...just don't expect the Ritz...

“Nice Place, Good Value, Thin Walls”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2007

people found this review helpful

We were winging it on a road trip. It was late when we pulled into Pocatello and the major chains were all full. A clerk at one of the majors steered us to the Thunderbird, which proved a pleasant surprise. The rates were very reasonable and the hotel has been freshly remodeled. What marred the stay was a group of miscreates on the floor above with a boom box. Other that than, I would rate this place above average for an economy hotel.

  • Liked — Decent room, good value
  • Disliked — Thin walls
