“Great for the price - a few minor hiccups”

Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites

13 Oct 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

For the price, it was very nice. However, don't be fooled by the hotel's website comparing itself to a "resort". It's a nice hotel, but it's on small grounds surrounded by the Scottsdale airport and various airport-related businesses. The property itself is older, but very well maintained. My room was modern and spotless. The only two issues were that the front desk clerk initially assigned me to a room which had no yet been cleaned, then when she assigned me to another room, a housekeeper walked in on me without knocking to drop off a towel. Thankfully I was not in an embarassing state. For the traveler looking for nice, clean, reasonably priced accomodations in Scottsdale, this place fits the bill. But don't be under the illusion that you will be at a typical "resort" no matter what they call themselves.

Amazing, overly friendly service. It is in North Scottsdale near all of the Kierland shopping and restarants so we loved the location.
The staff bent over backwards to make our family reunion great. Would recommend if you need to be in this area of Scottsdale.

1/1 found this review helpful

Got the hotel at an excellent rate of $35 a night from the priceline. Checkin was fast, staff not extra nice or helpful, but sufficiently proficient. Room clean, some wear on the furniture and the carpet. Housekeeping very efficient. Bathroom dark, but clean. Wireless internet working fine, requires a password available from the front desk - it's free. Suites have a small fridge and a microwave. They also provide cups, plates, and silverware.
I stayed for a week, and did not have any problems. Would return if the rate is similar. Location was fine for me, as I needed to be in the northern Scottsdale. It is about 20 min drive from Scottsdale shopping, mind that Scottsdale road is under construction in the fall of 2007 and traffic can get rather heavy.

“Shabby and No Voice Mail!”

Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites

10 Aug 2007

I booked this hotel through Hotwire. I was concerned once I found out about the reviews but was still hopeful. The room was shabby. Furniture was frayed as if attacked by a cat, stained and a chair had a hole in it. Carpet was stained. Drapes were old. My blanket had a hole. Beds were comfortable but that was the only redeeming factor. I booked the hotel for 12 days. I had to ask to have my sheets changed. My bathroom counter went 2 days without any cleaning at one point. I heard another guest ask for towels because they didn't leave any for him. Desk people are not knowledgeable about the area, cannot recommend restaurants, etc. Room air conditioning is extremely noisy and the bathrooms are very cramped. BUT, TO TOP IT ALL OFF, they charge 50 cents a minute for local phone calls AND the hotel has NO VOICE MAIL! The front desk is unable to take any messages either, for some reason.

“Great Hotel”

Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites

6 Jul 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

Pros: Price was awesome ($40/night/rm); hotel is beautifully landscaped and by the gate of Scottsdale Municipal Airport.
The foyer is spotless, staff is friendly and professional.
The suites have a nice seating area as well as a large bedroom. There is a solid door that separates one area from the other.
The sitting room consists of a pull-out couch and chair; an office nook that includes a comforartable office chair and a midsized table doubling as desk and dining table. The sitting room also hosts a mini kitchen consisting of a sink, microwave, and fridge. There is a 27" TV and a chest of drawers in both the sitting room and in the bedroom. Lighting is adequate and easily accessible in all rooms.
The bedroom is large and has a roomy closet with full length mirrored panels, a soft, comfortable, king sized bed, full sized iron and ironing board, bedside tables and a seating nook. The windows are nice and the curtains are thick enough to block the heat and completely cover the windows.
Breakfast is a complementary buffet in the dining room, which consists of several seasonal fresh fruit choices (best oranges I have ever tasted), warm biscuits and gravy, an assortment of fresh breads, bagels, and cereals. Juice, milk, condiments (and real silverware) are standard. The resturaunt is open for lunch and dinner hours. The hotel serves the best 'Breakast on the Fly" I have ever encountered. (H2O, yogurt, granola bar, fresh apple, and a sweet)
A lovely pool, small spa, workout room, and elevator service are accessible for all guests.
Cons: Bathrooms are extremely small. It takes a little while for the AC to eradicate the heat in the rooms but once the temperature regulates, the AC has no trouble keeping up.
No wireless internet in suite; however, there are two computers in the foyer, connected to printers and internet for the guests' use.
