The hotel was listed as a luxury hotel and was more of a motel, as you park in front of your room. Floors in the room were dirty, dead bug on the wall. Was just not a positive experience.

Location great. Very dated property. Room was clean but had broken luggage rack, no table or chairs, no phone, no clock, no table on balcony. Had to sit on bed so bed sides were broke down. Charged for parking. Didn't leave towels and left trash in bathroom sink. Won't be coming back. Shower was old and slippery.

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

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.
