For the money, the Thunderbird was a good value. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the check in staff very pleasant and accommodating. Mountain Home doesn't have many budget conscious options and this is a good one.

I like how close this place is to the event I attend once a year in Mountain Home. The room is small but comfy and very clean. Very easy to find. Near a gas station. Not really any complaints. Neighbors were a bit noisy but nothing obnoxious or threatening. Parking is adequate and never felt unsafe at the Thunderbird.

The room was clean & comfortable. The fresh scent was pleasant. The host was friendly and helpful. The bathroom looked newly remodeled and everything was very clean. Decor had a retro vibe. Although the outside of the motel looked a bit run down, then inside was fine and we slept well.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This appears on the outside to be an older property, but the room was completely modernized. The bed was comfortable, there was plenty of furniture for any purpose, and the television was up to date. The bathroom had new fixtures. One caution: the shower stall was quite small - huskier guests would likely find it uncomfortable.

Clean , affordable , quiet room without to many cleaning chemical odors . Train track next door but thick walls made it not too obnoxious . Strict rules but I like it as I felt my vehicle was safe . I’d definitely stay here again .
