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.

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.

Used to be gorgeous now it’s a dump.
Room wasn’t ready so we had to take a lesser room in order to be checked in with enough time to make dinner reservations. Only comped $30 and parking. Pool was dirty and hot tub was green. We had a 1pm checkout but had maid service constantly knocking on our door from 11 onwards. Only positive review is the food and coffee at the cafe was marvelous.

The whole staff was amazing whether it was in the coffeehouse, the front desk or the maintenance. Absolutely the best! The customer service was impeccable.
They still are working on a couple fine touches to improve things but the upgrades done so far are great.
The pool and courtyard area are absolutely gorgeous. The pool is always super clean and they have plenty of chairs and towels for everybody.
The location is perfect and safe to walk around old town Scottsdale.

It was a party hotel. We did not expect that. If you like watching men kissing men on the lips and running around in G strings, then that’s the place for you. It was not the place for us.

I was highly disappointed in this hotel; the pictures look absolutely stunning and newly renovated but that was NOT at all what I got! Bathroom tiles were old and peeling, I didn't get hot water but instead lukewarm water for two nights using a poor shower head. Room decor was extremely ragged and outdated. The check-in process was also time consuming as you have to download a phone app and check in w/ your driver's license... Which I found weird. I would not come back again. Maybe others had nicer rooms, but the room I got was literally like a run-down motel.
