We stayed at the Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites on a recent golf trip/guys weekend. We had two "suites" side by side on the second floor of the three storey complex. The hotel is in an industrial area next to the airport in north Scottsdale although there are some shopping and restaurant choices within a 5 minute drive.

We paid over $200 a night for each of the suites per night and as such I did have somewhat higher expectations than what the 3 star accommodation offered. Although it is evident that the hotel underwent renovations at some point, it still had an old somewhat run down feel to it. The room consisted of two double beds in a separate back room and a pullout sofa in the front room with a kitchenette type area (small fridge, counter and sink). The sofa bed, which we had to make use of was pretty much unusable due to the age and it being so uncomfortable. This was evident in both rooms. To top it off, at 1 am in the morning after getting back to the hotel, there were no linens for the sofa bed and we had to go down to the front desk and get them, then make the bed up. The double beds were rather comfy however.

The breakfast was adequate and had some warm choices, fruit and cereals along with toast and pastries. Overall service in the hotel was adequate as well, nothing notable but nothing concerning.

I was disappointed with the quality of the hotel and expected a lot more for the price paid, although I understand it is in the Scottsdale area where prices/costs tend to be a little higher, it was by far the worst accommodation of my 4-5 visits to the area, especially for the value for the money. Had we paid half the price I would possibly be able to recommend a stay but unfortunately I am unable to do so.

When we booked this room, there wasn't a huge selection of affordable rooms in the area because of spring training. We booked without looking at tripadvisor (which I usually do). Big mistake! We reserved the room for a week and checked out after the first night. The room had a bit of a smell to it, the wallpaper was peeling off the wall right by the front door as you walked in. There was a huge stain on the carpet in the bedroom and the bathroom looked like it was wiped down with a dirty washcloth. The bathroom had barely enough room for one person. The air conditioner was noisy. I do have to say the bed and pillows were awesome though!

I have never written a hotel review until now. I have stayed here for several years to be close to Westworld. I was shocked at how run down our room was. There were holes in the walls and the room smelled like it had been smoked in. There were 2 beds in the room-we tried each one because the first one we slept in was lumpy and we sunk into the middle of it and the second one was no better. The sheets slipped off one of the beds revealing what looked like blood stains on the mattress. Scarey! While trying to watch a movie, our neighbor was apparently taking a shower. The noise was unbelieveable and we had to turn up the volume on the tv to hear it. Consequently the remote control didn't work which further inconvenienced us! We love the location but won't go back-way to expensive for what it was. Definitely needs Hotel Impossible for help!

Went to this hotel from Feb 20 to the 25. It was clean, not so upper end but the area for what we were doing was great. Breakfast was good. Our excursions from here were the Arabian horse show, Winter Range Event, Cave creek area, old Scottsdale, and Mesa Rodeo. And many stops between. Ton's of Cowboy and western fun. Great weekend to go to these events. Would do it again the same. Felt that this hotel was a great location based on the areas we ventured into.
Staff was great, the airport beside us and we sided to the airport was not a problem at all.
