2/10 Poor

Incredibly dirty room and manager refused to turn off the fire alarm that was out of battery and would loudly beep every 10 minutes

Continent area centrally located in Downtown Bishop. Front desk staff were very polite and friendly. No one came to clean my room /-:

Deadbolt didn’t work. Heater sounded like a jet engine. Bed very squishy and pillows too stiff. Parking ok. Checkin ok. Manager had little English.

I was here last week and left a glowing review. I feel like I wasn’t recognized even after I said I’d be a regular. I’ll give them one more chance to get that together. Otherwise good.

6/10 Good

Very clean and nicely updated room. The hotel staff was friendly and the location is very walkable to restaurants and shops. I only had a few qualms. The bed was very squeaky. The room only had a semi-transparent shade- a blackout curtain/shade would have been more effective. Check-in required me to fill in a form by hand- although much of that info could have been transferred by Travelocity. Lastly, I checked in at night and it was very cold but I couldn't turn on the heater. In the morning, I discovered the A/C was unplugged.

The room was clean, the staff was nice, the shower was hot and the shower head tall enough for me. I'm 6'2". I would stay there again.

Motel is very run down. Parking lot is full of stuff stacked everywhere. Old & out dated furniture, beds, bathroom & sink areas. A/C is so loud, it sounds like a diesel motor on high idle.

Always a real pleasure. It's my "go-to place".

2/10 Poor

This was a bad stay overall. The room was in very poor condition — the cable box was hanging from the TV, there were stains on the towels, ants crawling everywhere, and crusted candy stuck to the comforter. The outside of the property was also in very bad shape. I definitely would not stay here again.

8/10 Very good

The property is very small therefore the parking is a little cramped. But overall my stay was good, everything is clean and staff is friendly. Pet Friendly is a plus for me too.

Dirty Blue room

Room wasn’t clean, one towel had a big stain on it, the bathroom didn’t smell clean, had that funky smell. TV was bluish just like the room. For 112 a night, Thunderbird Motel can do better than that..

The room was not as clean as it should have been. The bed spread was filthy, the sheets looked horrible. Good thing we were prepared with our own bedding. It was poorly cleaned.
