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.

Not Horrible for a one night stay
Most important: The room was clean including the bathroom, floor and beds. The queen bed's comfort was OK for one person but it would suck if there were 2 people on it. The sheets were not soft and the top blanket was a throw back to the late 80's but kept me warm. Walls are thin so you can hear a lot from the adjoining rooms but the place was quiet after 9pm. If you are looking for cheap (under $100) and staying 1-2 nights it's not horrible. I have stayed in worse and paid more. If you are in the area for longer and desire more comfortable amenities you have a lot more options in the area.

Good value, for pets too
Looks like this place in the process of being renovated. Front desk was friendly and prompt, smelled of spicy curry (yum for me), and had second use as a storage space. Fresh paint, new flooring and fixtures, with old wall A/C (kind of noisy but worked). Various things stored outside of the hotel (old microwaves and A/C and desks), but were not in the way Signs said all rooms were non-smoking but ours smelled like a chain smoker had been living in it for a few years. Stale smoke that doesn't get out of the walls with new paint unless you redo the drywall and ceiling. The rest of the room was pretty clean, with exception to the fan in the bath room. Plenty of outlets and USB ports, but no place to hang clothes. Only one bath towel, but didn't notice until the morning, prob could have gotten more. No garbage can, but there was a plastic bag for trash. Fridge was a good size (small not mini). TV and microwave looked in good shape, although we didn't use them. The bed and pillows were fantastic. I slept for 11 hours, and my wife thought they were great as well. Hard floors were clean, but our dog prob missed his bed that we left in the truck. Overall a great stay for the price, and only $20 for the pet fee. Central Bishop location and easy to get in and out of.

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.

The place was clean but spartan. No bar soap just liquid soap in a container attached to the wall. The lights from the parking lot shine into the room even with the shade. Need black out curtains. It served the purpose but nothing memorable.
