This was not a fancy hotel. This is an inexpensive hotel, close to downtown and ISU and was built a long time ago. It is older and it shows but it's clean, it's centrally located and the people in the office are nice welcoming. I have had much cooler receptions when I was staying in a nice hotel and the... More

Located downtown area close to ISU...easy access from southernmost exit. Was reasonably priced, clean, comfortable...just enough, no frills, but comfy and clean. Great service from the desk staffer- an Idaho State student that knew the town well. (Wanted to try the cool looking diner a few blocks down the street...but it was a holiday, and it had already closed...so the... More

Pocatello is not much of a town but we stayed there on the way from Yellowstone to Salt Lake. The Motel is situated along one of the main streets but our room was at the far end so no problems with the traffic for us. On the other side of the street is a big cemetery so it's all peaceful... More

A motel with all rooms going through a corridor rather than out to the car park. Wireless internet was okay, albeit a little slow. Bathtub outflow is a little slow and will be annoying to those who like to run their showers through their entire bath. Other than that, no complaints. Included continental breakfast is quite basic, but has the... More

Nothing special, but comfortable, dog-friendly, and inexpensive. Not the type of place you'd go to for a vacation, but just fine for a simple night's stay while traveling. I'd actually give this a 2-1/2 star rating, but still an OK place. More

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... More

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... More
