The location is amazing you can easily walk to many great restaurants and shops. The rooms were old and loud. We were there for 5 days and the pool and hot tub were so dirty. They didn’t clean it the whole time we were there. Halls were dirty not vacuumed or swept. We went there because of the pool and was so disappointed by how dirty it was

Proximity to Scottsdale Stadium is its only saving grace. The hotel is old and got a half baked make over.its clean, just cheaply done. The showers are old and falling apart, furniture is cheap and not comfortable.

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.

It had the main necessities, bathroom and bed. No complaints but there was no real lounging area and no clear sign for breakfast or dinner. Also not many restaurants near the property to eat at after 5pm. It was a simple stay.
