It seems to be one of the iconic places to stay along I90 going to Mt. Rushmore. The price is very reasonable and the rooms are clean and comfortable. We books two rooms for our family and they gave us connecting rooms which made it fun for th kids. Breakfast is continental. No gluten-free options. It's an older facility so the rooms are smaller than newer motels. Also, older decor or look.

This is an older property but there have been many nice upgrades. The staff was awesome. Our room was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was typical of motels but was well presented and good. They even had biscuits and hot gravy which was nice on a very cold day. We have stayed at the Thunderbird on our travels between Montana and Kansas numerous times over many years and have always liked staying here.

The Thunderbird is a standout motel in Mitchell. We were offered a room in the new wing with clean, nice, new room, AC, and relatively quiet for a comfortable stay. Breakfast is very basic We are not interested in pools or hot tubs so cannot comment on those. For the price, it is a great value considering we were traveling during the Sturgis rally.

I like it’s proximity to the Interstate, Fuel, and Restaurants. The personnel usually manage to give me a room to accommodate my mobility issues.

The beds are too high and it is difficult for short people to get into and out of. This time, the room was really a bit beyond my capabilities because of distance from entrance and the bed height.

The hospitality, caring staff and the great breakfast.

The tin bases on the beds. It made nice when rolling over on the bed. The staff were so apologetic. And graciously changed us to a different room. The staff was kind, caring and so polite. Thank you!

I liked how brightly lit the parking lot is. Location great. Price was reasonable. Staff extremely helpful and courteous.

Even with the AC unit on, it was a liitle bit humid in the room. But thats hard to avoid in late July.

Small and cozy, parking was available close to the room. Both rooms were very clan and taken care of. Friendly staff, easy to deal with. Will return again.

A/C in the wall just above one of the beds, we had to turn it off and just open windows during the night. It night temperatures are below 65 it is tolerable. Wooden table finish is a bit sticky, probably needs a final coat or so... but in general it is minor and tolerable. Proximity of the train tracks, you can hear the train signals during the night.

Easy on/ off the highway. Close to the things we needed. Staff was friendly. Very clean.

I'm not saying that I didn't like this, but it did take me a minute to figure out how to turn on the bathtub water. It's old school but works great!

Staff was great. They have a small selection of craft beers in the fridge and the sauna was a surprise addition. We have stayed at a few spots in town and we will only be staying here going forward. Wifi was good.

It was exceptionally clean. I usually know when I walk into lobby if it is a good choice, the room was even better than I thought it would be. Very roomy, everything we needed was provided, Very comfortable beds and bedding. Very quiet, slept all night with out waking. will definitely stay there again.

The only complaint would be the styrofoam dishes. would have preferred paper-there was paper bowls. Being gluten, dairy and egg intolerant there weren’t many choices. I was hoping for oatmeal which isn always gluten free but it’s better than nothing.
