The room was comfy, nice and warm. Ready for us as it was VERY cold. It is in such a unique location and has charm.

An Excellent Location
The benefit of staying at the Thunderbird Lodge is the location within the national monument grounds. The rooms are satisfactory for a visit, clean and quiet, but that's about it. The dining options at the cafeteria are very limited, indeed, but the food is tasty. Overall, the staff is competent, friendly and informative. It's a nice place that will remind you of motels from the past.

4/10 Fair

Hair in both beds, a lot in one, two hairs in the other. They brought us linen at 9:30 pm but no offer to remake the bed. After we stripped the bed we realized they brought one sheet. We made do and went to Denny's for breakfast the next day. The restaurant is cafeteria style. Tips are requested before you get food or service. Diner at the Thunder Bird was out worst meal on our trip with zero service once we sat down.
