If only they would re-invest
Location is amazing- Wish they would put some money into this property- Could be a landmark hotel. It is really a motel Need some love for sure. It was clean in the room, looked kinda like a college dorm room furniture, Bed was comfortable and did the trick. Not sure I would visit here again unless in a pinch.

Not what we expected
The pictures of the hotel were very deceiving. Our room is very outdated, had no phone to reach the front desk, dirty, housekeeping left our slider wide open.

Nice place to stay
This is an older property but has been remodeled to give it a more modern appearance. The pool and water features were nice. The rooms had been updated and were well-appointed. A good value for the price.

One night was enough
TV didn't work as there were no controls. No desk to use a laptop. Toilet didn't flush properly. Shower controls difficult to use.

Meh. Location, location, location.
I was surprised with the quality and not in a good way. One wall of outlets didnt work, the bathroom fan did not remove any moisture during a shower and the whole room smelled of mildew. The door chain fell out of the wall and the filter for the AC/heater was full of dust, hasn't been cleaned in a bit. I would much rather choose a different hotel and walk a couple blocks to Old Town.

The only great thing about this property is its location. Walking distance to Old Town Scottsdale. The room itself was mediocre. There was no shampoo, body wash or phone to call front desk. The shower head trickled out water.
