Best Western Plus Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites

Service and staff

The bruising could not get comfortable it was so hard like sleeping on the floor.

Older property but very clean, staff very friendly, and pet friendly

The bathroom fan is connected to the light switch which if you need the light on, that fan is continuously on and it’s loud.

We chose this hotel because it’s just a couple of miles from my in-laws, and it worked well for our needs. The property is definitely a bit dated, but it’s clear that it’s well cared for—everything was clean and properly maintained. We stayed in a one-bedroom king suite, which felt very spacious for the three of us (and would comfortably fit four). The bedroom included a chair, which was a nice touch so we didn’t have to sit on the bed. The bed itself was very comfortable, and the dresser easily accommodated all our clothes for a five-night stay. The living room had a two-seater sofa bed (we didn’t use it as a bed, but it was comfortable for sitting), along with a large work desk and chair that made it easy to get work done. There’s also a mini fridge, microwave, and plenty of shelf space for storing food, though you can’t cook in the room. The bathroom is on the smaller side, and it would have been more functional if the toilet and tub were separate. The toilet is positioned very close to the counter, which makes the layout a bit tight. The pool is small but looks nice. We didn’t use it since it was too hot in May, but the interior-facing rooms overlook a courtyard with the pool and palm trees, which gives it a pleasant, almost resort-like feel. There’s also plenty of free parking, which is a big plus. Breakfast was excellent by hotel standards. We really appreciated the variety and the fact that the hot options changed daily—items included sausage, bacon, eggs, French toast, corned beef hash, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, along with boiled eggs, cereals, breads, bagels, muffins, juices, coffee, fruit, and more. In terms of location, Phoenix is quite spread out, but this hotel is conveniently located near Scottsdale Airport, the golf course that hosts the Waste Management Open, and the Mayo Clinic. There are also plenty of shopping and dining options nearby. As with most U.S. cities, having a rental car makes getting around much easier.

Nice size room. Easy check in and out

Rooms are a bit standard. Some noise from the airport
