Best Western Plus Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites

“Thunderbird Suites 6/10-6/23 2026 This is our 2nd vacation stay at Thunderbird Suites and we have thoroughly enjoyed our visits. The front desk staff are very courteous and welcoming. The rooms are very clean and spacious for us, and we really like the pull out sofa bed for when our grandkids stay w/us while we’re in town. There are many amenities, however the real gem of this hotel is their breakfast buffet. From 6-10a every day, you can have scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and chicken links, also depending on the menu you can get French toast sticks, pancakes, waffles and sometimes biscuits and gravy!! You have assorted yogurts, fruit, and various breads/bagels for toasting. There is a hot coffee station, and orange juice on tap. There’s also yummy muffins. During our stay we always enjoy having breakfast there. The staff are friendly and it’s nice to see happy workers who always greet you in the morning. We’ve come to consider them as friends. Steve and Pam are the most gracious hosts to anyone who comes for breakfast. If you want fried eggs instead of scrambled they will happily whip that up for you. Honestly they will make your breakfast any way you want. My grandsons favorite is Pam’s french toast sticks. They do an awesome breakfast spread, great for families or just traveling grandparents like my husband and I. We’re planning another visit in a couple months and we can’t wait to see our friends Pam, Steve & staff at the breakfast buffet when we return.

“We had a wonderful stay this weekend and were very pleased with the service. The front desk staff were welcoming and helpful, and the housekeeping team truly went above and beyond. I accidentally left behind a pair of earrings that mean a lot to me, and they were kind enough to hold onto them! I really appreciate their honesty and care—it meant a lot. Thank you for the great service!”

“Check in with Kevin and check out with the another gentleman(afro with glasse) was quick. Both had great customer service attitude and very respectful. Breakfast attendant(man) was super fantastic! love love the way he treated us and other guest. Breakfast was also great ,limited, but overall good. Location was great even with the airport close didn't cause us an issue. Hotel room was standard clean I do suggest cleaning the headboards of beds, wipe down the TV and controls, the chain lock on the door was damaged and a carpet needs at least 2 pass to grab all animal hair. Bed, bed sheets, towels,kitchenette, tub, toilet,microwave and mini fridge were clean throughouly. Would definitely stay again. Also. Location was close to many stores,fancy restaurant and typical fast food restaurants.”

“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. Lastly, the staff were consistently polite, helpful, and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.”

“The Best Western Plus as usual, is very good. Here the new change was that for the room service one has to ask in the reception. It sounds resource saving, and good, however, for a busy visitor/tourist can be another piece added to multitasking. Looks like this is a new trnd in hospitality industry. Other than that, it is in a nice location, good Hotel. Hearing and watching planes of local small Airport next door was fine for me. But people looking for 0 noise, may think twice.”

“A+++++ in every aspect!! Roxie handled my check in with ease. She was very welcoming, warm & friendly!! Not only that, but she went out of her way to make sure our stay was top notch!! AND...don't miss the breakfast!!! Especially on Sunday and Mondays. Pam & Steve are the best!! Not only was the food and service amazing, their outgoing & friendly personalities made it that much better!! We were treated like family. We had tge pleasure of running into Roxie several other times during our stay and she was very personable and went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed to have a very enjoyable stay. The rooms are quite large with a separate living room/kitchen area. The citrus products were a very nice surprise and the bed was so comfortable!! We will definitely be staying here again in the near future for all of our stays!!”
