Stayed at the Thunderbird for 5 nights. Check-in was simple. The room was on the 4th floor at the end. There are elevators and also outside stairs (my calfs look great now!). I didn't have a problem with any noise even though it was AZ Bike Week and next to the Scottsdale Airport. The pool was sort of green when we arrived and was "shocked" to clean it out after the weekend. We enjoyed hanging out by the pool with cocktails and friends. The free breakfast buffet was pretty good with hot food like waffles, eggs and some type of meat. Cereal and pastries were also available. We accessed that freebie breakfast all but one day (I do love an IHop!). Staff was helpful when it came to toothpaste - TSA confiscated ours - and a pair of scissors (my bangs needed a trim). It was handy to have computers in the lobby with a printer. We were able to print our boarding passes before we left for the airport. My wifi in the room was sporatic but I wasn't there to access wifi anyway. We didn't spend any time in the bar. The rooms have a mini fridge and sink so who needs a bar? The kitchenette also has a microwave. The bathroom was small but functional and the water pressure and showerhead were great! Our only complaint was the TV remote in the living space did not work. Overall, I would stay again if I was in the area.
