It was a great location if you plan to have a wild walkable night in Old town Scottsdale. The room was clean and updated. The pool area was nice. Could use a bit more updating on outside grounds. It es close to everything but nothing extravagant

This hotel was okay. It didn’t feel clean and the furniture in the room was super dated. The location is great, but I would not stay here again.

Booked this location for easy walkable access to Spring Training games at Scottsdale Stadium and Old Town. Room was extremely basic with dated furniture and unsecured patio area on first floor. Tried to turn on TV to watch March Madness games, but TV was an app-based Roku setup with no ability to access live tv channels (no cable). Expressed this issue with front desk and Kenzie, who was very friendly and helpful, did everything she could to rectify but I decided to leave the property and stay closer to our daughter, who lives on the north end of Scottsdale. Property is over 30 years old and just doesn't offer any updated amenities.

Very rude and unhelpful front desk service before and during check-in. The band playing poolside was horrible, too loud and drove us away from the pool only to be heard just as loud in our hotel room due in part to the 1/2 inch gap all around the exterior door in which we could see daylight and street lights at night. Save your money and book elsewhere.

You can't get a better location for spring training, because it's an easy walk to the stadium and also steps from Old Town. The pool and hot tub areas were nice, though the chaise lounges were extremely uncomfortable unless you padded the bar going across with a towel. There was a nice cafe. Apparently it is being torn down or renovated according to a permit application sign in front. It's a shame, every affordable hotel we've stayed at in Scottsdale undergoes "rennovation" and triples the price, and I expect the same will happen here, too.
