Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 13 Aug 2011 rated 5 out of 10.

Like the hotel & amenities; however, the rooms need a facelift. Appears that owners are starting on this with new paint on the exterior. We like that they accept pets which is the primary reason we stay there on our visits to the Mayo Clinic. Nice breakfast buffet.

Positives: Pet friendly & location.

Negatives: Rooms need upgrading - flooring, walls & furniture.

Location was good for the purpose of our travel. Nice room and pool area. If they replace the carpet it would have been good.

Positives: I liked that the living room area was separated from the bedroom area.

Negatives: Carpet was old and somewhat dirty, food at restaurant was not good.

The atmosphere was very friendly. Bed was superb. Flat screen TV would have been nice, but understandably, with the economy, not offered. My son and I really enjoyed the room.

Positives: Glass drinking glasses, real plates and eating utensils.

Negatives: No breakfast buffet and no WiFi.

For the price, we couldn't have done much better. Next time we will ask for a room on the third floor. You could hear everything that went on upstairs. The flushing of the toilet upstairs was the worst!

Positives: The pool was very warm! The staff was extremely friendly.

Negatives: We could hear everything upstairs. Very noisy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 20 Nov 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

I was pleasantly surprised. Very friendly staff, clean and comfy room and good, reasonably priced food at the restaurant. I would recommend this to business travelers and possibly a romantic getaway on a budget.

Positives: Large suite with very comfortable bedding.

Negatives: Room doors are outside (facing courtyard though).

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 13 Mar 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

Negatives: Outside corridor for entrance.

Nice place.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 24 Sep 2008 rated 2 out of 10.

Okay hotel for a business traveler. The rooms were large and comfortable, with the exception of a very small bathroom. Very limited food and beverage on-site. Low staffing levels made for poor service.

Positives: Leaving.

Negatives: Location, it was an airport hotel and far from downtown.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 22 Sep 2008 rated 4 out of 10.

I was between meetings; I only had 45 minutes to travel from where conference was being held and the hotel. As I walked up there was a staff member that did not greet me or acknowledge me even though I was the only at counter, then when she did acknowledge me, she told me that there was someone else that would help me, but didn&rsquo;t bother to summon this person, I waited and watched this person for 5 minutes at counter before someone finally came to check me out.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Staff &amp; mildew smell in the room.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Restaurant.

For the price this was a great hotel. It is basic hotel that is nice for a night or two. The staff was not very friendly. At check-in the man at the desk was on the phone. He did not acknowledge my presence at all. He just needed to nod or say, I will be right with you. Other than that we had a nice stay.

Positives: The price was great!

Negatives: The staff was not very friendly. It took the staff about 5 minutes to recognize me at check-in.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 10 Sep 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Over all I would stay there again, very good location for shopping and transportation to city of Phoenix.

Positives: Lot of good restaurants in the area.

Negatives: Need a little more security at night.

This hotel is a dump. The room smelled trouble. The staff was very unprofessional.

Positives: I did not like anything in this hotel.

Negatives: I was lock out of my room, key did not work.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 01 Sep 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone, we loved it. I wish we could have had more time to spend here but we got there late due to driving from one town to another. This was an excellent hotel to stay at, very clean, very organized & a wonderful continental breakfast with many items on the menu in the morning. The pool was beautiful & very clean. Beds were great, not hard like a lot of beds in hotels are. I'd stay here again in a minute !

Positives: It was beautiful. The pool was awesome, the rooms were great.

Negatives: Nothing, we loved it all.

Everything about this hotel was done very nicely and professionally. There was more than enough space for all of our luggage and kids' items and we were not cramped at all. Even though it appears to be an older hotel, I did not feel like it was run-down or unsafe. I did not have any problems and will definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Positives: My room was enormous! I had no idea we would have the separate living and sleeping areas.

Negatives: I really cannot think of anything right now.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 28 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

The price was great; the room was large and had a refrigerator, microwave. kitchen sink, and padded chair and hide a bed. The directions map to the hotel was confusing, and the phone number given was answered with a recording to leave a message. The mattress was comfortable, but I do not like the heavy comforter. It is either too warm or too cold. I liked the wall thermostat. My room was away from the airport, so was relatively quiet. The rooms facing the airport might be much noisier.

Positives: Nice size room, pretty quiet.

Negatives: Small bathroom, black marks on the carpet.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 28 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

This hotel is located at Scottsdale Airport and is in a very convenient location in Scottsdale and close to the 101. Although, we did not use the pool, our room overlooked it and it seems inviting and clean. We did enjoy the complimentary hot & cold breakfast every morning and the food was good. We would definitely recommend keeping this hotel in mind for the future.

Positives: Our room was a suite; very roomy & spacious; bathroom was clean as was the entire suite.

Negatives: You could smell cigarette smoke when the air conditioner was running.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 28 Aug 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

I love this place! I have stayed here about 5 times, and each time it has been wonderful. The staff is friendly and helpful. The appetizers are great. Although few people go down for happy hour. It is close to the airport, but a minor inconvenience considering that you are right across the street from Kierland Commons lots of shopping and good eats. Also close to Barcelona's and Devil's Martini if you like to dance the night away. The only caution is to test your bath/shower water because sometimes it is way too hot. I extended my stay twice because I like it so much.

Positives: People were friendly.

Negatives: Water temperature was not stable.
