I read about Thunderbird Lodge as being tired and dated and stale. "It could be so much more etc..."...We checked into room 72 and found the room fresh, clean and NEW! Curtains, lights and bedspreads and carpets were updated. A fridge,microwave and Keurig coffee maker were there. The bathroom was perhaps not brand new, but the curtain for the shower was the convex kind and the water pressure excellent even if the water was very soft. The shower and soap amenities were good quality. You park right outside your door for convenience. The front desk staff were friendly. Our Canyon de Chelly auto tour was excellent, but I don't rate that here. I don't know about the other rooms, but ours was excellent. I would come back here in a heartbeat. ( We are experienced travelers who are both US and European travelers, so are not the uber spoiled kind).
