“Outstanding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 26, 2012

This hotel met all our needs and was within easy driving distance of all the water parks of the Wisconsin Dells. Alice at the front desk was so sweet and full of information for our stay. The rooms were extremely clean. The place was quite. We traveled with our two dogs and it was never a problem. The owner really takes a lot of pride in his facility. This hotel was an outstanding value for our traveling family. A little of the beaten path, but highly recommended.

“Excellent value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 2, 2012

We've been staying here for long weekends about 3 years now. You can't beat the price for the area. The room is very basic, but is clean. We typically visit the area not for the "touristy" stuff, but to enjoy the nearby state park. This place is just perfect for us. The low price allows us to afford several long weekends each season.

Room Tip: The downstairs rooms seem to be the ones that used to be smoking rooms before the ban went into effe...

“Thank You!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 24, 2012

Had a wonderful weekend in the Dells area watching my son play baseball. It was a last minute decision to make the trip, so I was anticipating paying more for lodging. The Thunderbird was the only hotel I found in the area that didn't "gouge" me on Fri. and Sat. Other hotels had rooms for a good price on Thurs., but then doubled the rate on Fri/Sat. I would have never been able to make the trip if I had not found the Thunderbird. Good, clean room. Quiet, and when I had a problem with internet connection, the owner went out of his way to tell me he would have it fixed shortly(and it was). Thank you!! A very memorable weekend.

“Clean, Comfortable and Convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 4, 2012

The hotel is very basic but if all you need is a clean room, hot shower and comfortable bed this is your place. There is no breakfast provided but there is an ok restaurant next door (4 seasons) which you can get 10% off. Convenient location to Circus World and the best restaurant in the area, the Log Cabin, at $60 a night its worth it!

Room Tip: This place was quiet, we stayed on the second floor. Its a lot less crowded than staying in the Dell...

“Pleasant surprise for a great price.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 3, 2012 via mobile

All the other reviews are spot on. It's a no frills motel with clean, comfortable rooms. TV channel selection is good and the wifi is faster than any hotel I've ever stayed at (I travel quite a bit). The room has a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot. The chair/table area and bathroom (sink is outside the bathroom) is fairly cramped but it's nice to have the table and chairs.

It's a nice motel and worth the price, especially considering the price of Wisconsin Dells attractions near
