We previously stayed at Thunderbird Suites before it changed to Best Western Plus and enjoyed one of their larger suites that included a kitchen area, large bathroom with double showers & vanity area as well as a spacious living area. Other than being dated it was quite comfortable and roomy. Their fitness center was pretty laughable, though, with a bike & treadmill.
This most recent visit was somewhat of a different experience: We called the front desk to advise we would be arriving late and finally got settled in about midnight. We were exhausted and couldn't wait to crawl in bed however, although the front room and bathroom were quite cool, the bedroom would not cool down making for an uncomfortable night's sleep. Then to my utter dismay, at 7:50 am the cleaning lady was banging on our door! Really? Before 8 am?
Although the room was substantially smaller than previously it was still clean and somewhat comfortable. There were some small annoying things such as no door on the fridge freezer, the bathroom was super small, horrible internet connection and for whatever reason, even though it was apparent they had plenty of rooms available, they couldn't accommodate our request to be on the first floor. Oh well....
The best feature about Thunderbird Suites is that it is just minutes away from Scottsdale Quarter where we spend the majority of our visit.
