I stayed here for a business trip that happened to fall during the week of Waste Managements, Phoenix Open. Rate was really good for a "Suite". Room was clean, but the carpet, couch and office chair needed DEEP cleaning or replacement. Linen's were good. Exterior was clean for the most part. Room doors open to a Courtyard and Pool. It...

We stayed the week of the Barrett-Jackson car auction. We felt the price was reasonable. The location was great and the free breakfast was just OK but still better than what some other hotels offer for free. The best part was the free shuttle to anywhere within about 5 miles. We could leave our car there and just call when... More

Nice place for the price! Rooms are large and well equipped. The free breakfast was not the best we have ever had...actually not good at all. There was an unidentifiable brown stain in the middle of the light colored couch in the living room. We would not sit on the couch. The claim a short 2 block walk to Kierland...It... More

We stayed here for 7 nights while visiting the Mayo Clinic. Staff was very accommodating.The first room we where given had a smell. When I called the front desk Taylor immediately switched rooms for us. Great shopping and dining options within walking distance so don't let the airport being next door scare you. Just don't forget your ear plugs!! You... More

We would stay at this hotel again. We were pleased with the cleanliness and layout of the room. We did not have any issues with the heat or the plumbing. The price was great for the area, the staff was friendly and helpful. The food in the lounge and for breakfast was good. More

I have stayed at this hotel a few times. I was surprised when I recently looked at the reviews. The value and service of this hotel has always exceeded my expectations. This last time we stayed 4 days with extended family that were visiting. I met the new manager while having breakfast and he was very friendly. Our room had... More

This is a decent hotel. The rooms are actually suites with a separate bedroom and living room. The living room has a pull-out couch, along with a coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, plates, silverware, glasses, and a small sink. There is not a stove. The great thing about the separate living room is there is plenty of space. I found three... More

I stayed there for a business trip since the hotel was close to my client. Staff people were nice and friendly, breakfast was good. However, sofas and chairs need cleaning big time. Water glasses had lip stain on them. The heater in my room did not work and could not be fixed. I was moved to the room next door,... More

We also work very hard to make certain that the rooms are clean and everything in the room is in operating order. We do occasionally run into issues and I hope... More

All in all, this is a good hotel for budget conscious travelers. I stayed in a King Suite which had plenty of room, a VERY comfortable bed and a kitchenette. The price was very fair for the amenities this property had to offer, heated pool, jacuzzi, hot breakfast buffet. The location was convenient, right off of Scottsdale Road near the... More

We recently bought a place in Scottsdale and we traveled there to begin furnishing it, but we needed a place to stay for a few days. Thunderbird Suites had great prices and a great location. It has been refurbished on the outside and common areas, but the rooms (at least ours) needs a major upgrade. The furniture was old and... More
