Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The main entrance is about the nicest part. The elevator was broken and we had to walk pretty far to get to our floor. The passages on the way looked dilapidated and not well cared for and a little creepy. The room felt cheap and half way renovated. The bath tub was dirty and stained. Decent sleep because we were exhausted after driving all day but yeah - TERRIBLE IMPRESSION.

This hotel is nothing like what’s advertised. If you’re traveling with children, I strongly recommend staying elsewhere. The promotional photos are misleading—they highlight a nice-looking lobby and pool area, but once you arrive, it becomes clear that the rest of the property is more like a rundown motel. The rooms and buildings appear neglected, catering more to a party crowd than families, with little regard for safety or cleanliness. The rooms are old, bare, and unlike any hotel we’ve ever stayed in. They didn’t have phones, for example, and the furniture and decor was limited. The carpeting in the corridors was torn and lifting, rust was visible throughout the property, and we even saw empty liquor and beer bottles scattered in the hallways. I didn’t feel safe—I used both the chain and deadbolt on the door and even placed a chair against it, as people were loudly coming and going all night and my room was along a busy road. I seriously considered leaving, as did another family traveling with us, but since we had already paid, we decided to stick it out. We frankly didn’t feel comfortable during our stay—find somewhere else if you can help it.

The location was nice and convenient. We liked that it was walking distance to shops and restaurants. The building was dated and the stairs are in need of a makeover. The lobby was much nicer than the rest of the hotel. The staff was very friendly.

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.

Beautiful, but…

Housekeeping forgot to replenish coffee pods, coffee cups, removed used soap and did not replenish. Changed a couple towels but forgot hand towels. Very noisy. Street traffic and a hospital close by. Beautiful grounds, architecture and lighting. Beautiful pool, but definitely not for swimming. Too shallow. 4 ft at the center, 2 feet at the ends.

Rooms dirty floors had toenails on them not cleaned at all bathroom had mildew on tile grout fan was so noisy and is so clogged with dirt it was un effective paint peeling shower had no pressure and was leaking I bought the package through Orbitz and they tried to charge me extra for parking I complained about it they said they would refund me but never got an email stating the refund. Coffee shop is posted opens at 6 no one was there many days till after 7 furniture was in rough shape old and peeling very limited no water available unless you go to water machine by ice machine and that is so disgusting and hasn't been cleaned or serviced in months the nozzles are so dirty. Overall I would never stay there again. Forget about no security and people coming in making very loud outbursts at 2 3 Up to 530 in the morning. i would not recommend this place if you want a good experience I will be staying across the street next year at the Hilton

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
