Reviews for Thunderbird Executive Inn & Conference Center

Review 1：This property is the campus for ASU adult advanced education. The grounds were meticulous, just different in a retro way.

Review 2：Unique property. Staff could not have been nicer!

Review 3：I liked the fact the facility is secluded from the street and to me, the facility feels very welcoming. The staff was excellent and attentive when I was in need.

Review 4：Rooms clean, spacious,overall facilities very nice, complimentary snacks a nice surprise, staff helpful and pleasant, good location near entertainment and restaurants

Review 5：Prompt service upon arrival. Dona was very friendly and helpful in every way imaginable! She even helped us find places that we were going to be visiting while staying there.

Review 6：The only issue we had was that it was hard to find when we drove in the first day.

Review 7：it was quiet and really liked all the extra's. drinks, snacks, etc.

Review 8：One night someone had propped the outside stairway/corridor door open which was a security concern for me because anyone could have walked in to the corridor without the front desk seeing them. I informed the person at the front desk and they closed it.

Review 9：The staff was very helpful and accommodating.

Review 10：Clean, safe, quiet, good value. Very good experience with staff. Not close to the airport, but the highways are excellent. I went out of my way to stay there the second time.

Review 11：Would have enjoyed a larger shower!

Review 12：Facilities and grounds were relaxing and afforded us places to relax as a group of 6. The complimentary snacks were a really thoughtful touch.

Review 13：we found parking to be a problem in the later evening. the property should have more signs on the road leading to the inn.we would have liked and upper floor.

Review 14：it was centrally located for our purposes. the room was immaculate and had all that we needed.

Review 15：Very minor...Water pressure in the shower a little on the weak side.

Review 16：Wasn't sure how Thunderbird Executive Inn would hold up against theother hotel chains. What a pleasant surprise! Clean and spacious room,very generous snackbar/lounge, great staff. Need to workout? Freeday passes to the local ymca! These guys can hook you up!

Review 17：No pets to ruin the grass areas - you didn't have to watch your step and deal with the odors, barking, etc. We hit it on Spring break so it was very quiet. Close enough to sports complexes - will plan a return visit.

Review 18：The staff is wonderful and super helpful. We also really appreciated all the free snacks and drinks with two young children. The rooms are nothing fancy, and the sheets were a little rough, but overall nice, clean place.

Review 19：Both nights I was awakened by noise in adjacent rooms and outside our room, it sounded like people going to a night club but the night club was our next door neighbor! On the 2nd night I decided to notify the front desk; they knocked on our neighbor's door to quiet them. About 15 min later the noise resumed so I called the front desk again. This time security was summoned. Again the noise was temporarily reduced, but did not cease entirely until 1am when the offenders finally went to bed. The walls were so thin that I could hear them shuffling cards amongst the boisterous and profane conversation. Really not worth the price premium I paid for this Inn!

Review 20：Clean room and snack center on 2nd floor. Pleasant atmosphere.

Review 21：not a bad experience, but water pressure is almost nonexistent. Use a high pressure shower head

Review 22：we walk in the mornings, and the campus was perfect for that. It is also very quiet.

Review 23：Pool was a little far from room, but was a beautiful pool. Pub was a little far too.

Review 24：The 24 hour snack room with drinks. The friendly staff that was always very helpful. Location was great with everything we needed.

Review 25：Nothing

Review 26：Beautiful surroundings. Great history about the facility. Wonderful kitchen, very quiet, Wi-Fi speed good, the staff is friendly. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN Everything worked.

Review 27：We thought from the online pictures that it had a patio for outdoor pleasure. That is not so. When we arrived there a foul odor in the room which dissipated later. The room was clean.

Review 28：The location was fine--if you do not mind a meandering path through the campus to get there.

Review 29：We traveled to Phoenix for the Fiesta Bowl. The Thunderbird Executive Inn was close to the game and easy to find from the airport. Our flight into Phoenix had been canceled so we were a day late but the staff was wonderful, didn't give away our room and because we were late due to the airline they didn't charge us for the night we missed even though they could have. The room was very clean and comfortable and the free snacks and drinks in the lounge put other hotels to shame! We would most certainly stay there again if we found ourselves in the Glendale area!

Review 30：Nothing. Loved it all over these several visits. Too bad that ASU has to destroy lone of our favorite stops in Phoenix!

Review 31：Large room, starched sheets, free items in the comfort room and lots of space. Good service.
