“Thunderbird Lodge strikes me as a classic roadside stay along the I-90, especially convenient for families heading to Mount Rushmore. I can see its appeal: clean, comfortable rooms at a reasonable price. While the decor might be a bit dated, it's the kind of unpretentious spot that prioritizes value and ease of access, with plenty of nearby dining options.”
