A nice little motel in the process of being update
The gentleman at the check in was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and they are in the process of updating them. Our room had more electrical outlets and usb plugs than any other motel we stayed in! Only issue was noise from unit above us due to hard floors ...noise carries easily.

Liked: Amenities
Pleasantly surprised by their prices and how quiet everything was overnight. AC, WiFi, Dish Network all worked with perfection and had no issues. The water pressure was excellent however, the water drained very slow in the shower I just didn’t feel like calling the front office for that. I would definitely recommend them and would stay there again.

Bishop fishing trip
The room was small and very dated. The TV was very dark and very hard to watch. The hair dryer was pulled out of the wall and was laying on the counter. The shower drain was clogged and the tub filled up while showering. Overall, the room was not maintained and it made the stay disappointing. This is the first time I’ve ever given a bad review but I feel it needed to be put out there.

The thunderbird is a work in progress. Will be fabulous when completed. The location is priceless. Off the main road. The room is super clean and large. The covers are way too heavy for summer but perfect for winter. Bath soap be nice. The shades are total blackout / perfect, every hotel should have them. Within walking to everything. Good stay.

Great Stay - would come again
After 5 days in the backcountry this was just what I needed. Comfy bed, (2 pillow options for softness). Had fridge and microwave which I didn't need or use but was nice to have for some folks. Soap in dispensers was great. No shampoos which was ok because I'd brought my own, but just need to know in advance. I had flown into Bishop airport so originally picked this motel for the free airport shuttle. I had a friend pick me up but needed a ride back to the airport which was supplied for me with no hassle and greatly appreciated. Since I didn't have a car it was also nice to have various food options within walking distance as the Main Street/ hwy 395 was just 1/2 block away.

Affordable. Comfortable. Convenient. Nice staff. My only complaint was my room had a noisy, very loud heater that cycled every 4 minutes. For the money, a great motel for a good place to crash.
