When we first saw this little independent motel, we had our doubts about staying here. But the room looked clean and we could park the car right outside the door, and they had wifi and the price was right, so we gave it a try. Surprisingly, I had the best night's sleep here that I had in the past 3... More

This is an old motel. The owners were very nice and easy to talk to. We stayed for 4 days and they were very good to address any problems we had. I do have one warning to give. If you go to Dodge City in the summer you will have to deal with the flies(in the motel, resturants, bathrooms, outside,... More

We stayed at the Thunderbird and found the price quite decent - $48 including taxes is a great rate. We stayed in room 211 and got a good nights sleep. The AC worked great and the internet too. We would recommend this little gem. We think a clean room and good bed is all we need, but the fridge and... More

Got a room with two double beds. Decent size, retro feel. The beds were horrible. One was extremely "broken in" and sagging and the other was board stiff and you could feel the springs digging into your back. The wireless never worked. We could connect (had to call and request password from office) but the signal was so weak that... More

Large room with refrigerator and microwave. Good sized screen on tv. Shower no tub.. $45 is a steal. Right on the highway but the air conditioning and refrigerator made more than enough white noise. A little pilling on the sheets but at this price how can you complain?

I was very happy to see while staying the owners were in the process of restoring the original sign. The couple who owned it were beyond nice and accomodating. I enjoy midcentury design and this place had the original sink and our room had a little sofa that was built in that was made from bent plywood. Yes the rooms... More

Really nice people run this place and it is a throwback to rt 66 era. I've stayed here 5 times now when crossing the US and have always found it clean, near some good restaurants and easy in/out including with big trailers. The rooms are older style, but everything was clean and in good repair. I prefer somewhat nostalgic hotels... More

The rooms are certainly clean and cheap, and the couple that owned it are nice, but I will leave it at that. The mattresses are cheap and the pillows were like thin bricks. My neck hurt for 2 days. Also, because it is so cheap there were several people there on extended stay. They were loud and drunk. I really... More

I don't know why the motels in Dodge City are so expensive, but this is where we would stay again. It is a small roadside motel probably built in the 40s or 50s but has been updated probably many times. The couple who run the place are very helpful and pleasant. My wife and I stayed in 105. While the... More

We were more than pleased with the room. Clean, nice staff, internet access, cable TV, 2 beds, quiet, nice showers with the best shower head I've ever seen, large rooms, and all for $45 including tax. Why stay in a chain when this is available.
