Staff were very friendly. The stay was great, one issue was the wild dogs. The dogs had a routine to rush people by their cars for food. That was fine, but when they started to go after my dog, that is a huge issue. I hope the Thuderbird lodge will take some action to make sure the pets that stay there are safe. I don't want them to harm the stray dogs but there needs to be a solution.
