“Great choice in a town of multiple options.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011 via mobile

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 veteran road travelers we prefer honest good old fashion service and older motels are a wonderful option.
Drawback - the room had a lot of light pollution from the parking lot and when our son got up to use the bathroom during the night the bathroom light lit up the room.

Next stop Chief Motel in Custer the kids want to hit the pool.

“Very Nice Stay for a GHrear Price!”

person found this review helpful

This is about the 4th time we stayed at the Thunderbird, We bring our son to Mitchell SD every year, and then stay later in the Fall to watch him play football at DWU. 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 price. I think it is the best value in Mitchell. I have stayed at the Motel 6, and the Thunderbird is hands down better! Speak to Matt the Owner/Manager and he will do his best for you! Highly recommended!

“Not worth it.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011

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 all.

“CLEAN and friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

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.

“Clean, comfortable, friendly place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

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 on my list to visit every time I come through this area. GREAT place to stay!!
