    comfortable room
    convenient amenities
    slow check-in

    The room was quite comfortable, and I really appreciated the fridge and microwave for my snacks. It was nice to relax by the pool and enjoy the quiet patio area after a long drive. Although the check-in process took a bit longer than expected, it didn't ruin my stay at all! 😊

    delicious coffee
    great pastries
    friendly staff

    Bishop is a foodie's paradise! Stopped by The Looney Bean for fantastic coffee, and you can't miss Erick Schat's Bakkery for mind-blowing pastries. Plus, the motel's got a central location and friendly staff that made my stay a breeze.

    comfy bed
    great location
    safety concerns
    loud ac

    The clean room featured a comfy bed and great location near food options. However, the outside appearance raised concerns about safety, and the loud AC made it hard to sleep comfortably. Overall, not a terrible option for a budget stay.

    great location
    dirty towels
    unpleasant fridge smell
    heater malfunction

    The location was great, right in the center of town and perfect for travelers. The staff were very friendly, accommodating my needs promptly during check-in. However, the room was mostly dirty, with unclean towels and a fridge that emitted an unpleasant odor. Additionally, the heater smelled like burning when turned on, which made for an uncomfortable night.

    fresh renovations
    spacious layout
    comfy bed
    noise disturbance
    sheet comfort
    breakfast variety

    I found the Thunderbird Motel to be a solid budget option in Bishop. The staff were super friendly and the check-in process went smoothly. My room felt fresh with the recent renovations. I appreciated the spacious layout and modern bathroom. The bed was comfy, which I truly needed after a long day. The location is perfect, with lots of dining options just a short walk away. However, the noise from the room above me made it hard to get a good night's sleep. The lack of fitted sheets on the bed felt odd and the sound from the hallway was a little distracting. The breakfast offerings were pretty basic, just a box of muffins. Overall, a good stay but a few improvements could make it even better.

    Great Value for a Quick Stay

    I stayed for one night after skiing in Mammoth and found it to be a solid choice. The room had everything I needed, including a mini fridge and microwave, and it was comfortably designed with no frills. The front desk staff were friendly and accommodating, which made my visit even better. However, the bathroom lighting could be improved, as it flickered during my stay.
