Beautiful grounds. Very quiet and relaxing. Excellent service. Complimentary lounge with snacks and drinks. Scrupulously clean. Outdoor salt water swimming pool. Complimentary pass to YMCA with pool and excercise equipment, located across the parking lot. Competitive pricing. Near restaurants.

I have been staying here for the last 2 years and I can say that of all the hotels I have stayed in across the US and around the world the service here is by far the best. I was able to personally get to know many of the staff and couldn't believe how every guest was treated. They truly... More

I stayed here for 3 nights during spring training because I was familiar with the school and it's convenient location to the ballparks. The school is easy to find and if you look up the campus map on the Internet you will know where to find the Inn without any wrong turns. The Inn is located in a corner of... More

We stayed here in Feb 2013 for spring training for the western ballparks. We chose this due to location compared to the other hotels we were offered with our travel package. This was an odd place to drive into. Its on a college campus, and very soon you realize this was a military site and barracks. It takes a bit... More

Stayed here a total of three nights in the course of a week-long vacation to the area, occupied two different rooms, both in the 300 series. The rooms are clean, décor is very dated. Staff was friendly, the complimentary "snack bar" was a hit with the kids. Main concern - How anyone is able to sleep with the AC units... More

As with some of the other reviewers here, my wife and I were in the area for Spring Training games. Thunderbird gave us a modest room at a modest price. Fair trade. Plenty of places to eat just a few miles away. Close to Peoria Sports Complex and Mariners/Padres. Free internet and wi-fi, lots of snacks. Checked in around midnight,... More

We stayed here two nights, for a Spring training game. Only a few miles from the Ball Park. Not many good restaurants in the immediate walking area, a small one with a lounge on the property but nothing special. You are on a college campus , kind of strange but nevertheless fine.

The watch-word of this place is simple. It's a 2.5 star hotel and that's what you get. I will say, however, that some of the 2.5 star hotels I've stayed at had some signs of wear and tear (rust stains, chipped paint, etc). I will say that Thunderbird was very clean and overall well kept. It's on the campus of... More
