| - What a wonderful Yelp find!!
In last-minute fashion, I scoured yelp for a cute boutique hotel in Scottsdale. Hotel Indigo was running a special, and when I compared it to other local hotels, this place is as bud-quality-get (quality within budget) as they come! Just to give you an idea: it was 60% less expensive than The W and Hyatt.
Location: Centralish Scottsdale within walking distance of A LOT! Quiet neighborhood (what in Scotts isnt?), with good views depending on your room.
Service: Friendly, fast, casual and comfortable.
Bar: Deliciously packed and very well served. I had a cocktail or two on a Monday night, and really enjoyed the free shot (some sports team won?) after a few glasses of wine.
Amenities: I never got to the gym (shocker), but the Pool was amazing! I repeat: AMAZING! Heated, empty, and a great way to spend the afternoon with my squirrel-friend.
Room: I stayed on the 4th floor in a room with a sunset view. I thought it was styled interestingly enough for a hotel. It felt less homey and more modern, which I like in hotels. Things I really liked: The light built into the headboard (note: switch is on the headboard), the hole in the shower to hang your towel/bathing suit, the circular mirror, the oversized cacti painting that turned the room green during the sunset, wall-sized window, FREE WIFI! :D
I have two complaints, but neither were deal-breakers and I don't recommend you let them get in your way. 1) I could hear the people next door, and for a fairly empty hotel, I was disappointed I wasn't given a more secluded room away from other guests. 2) The bed was less comfortable than other local hotels (Read: The W). The pillows more than made up for it, as that's my ultimate deal breaker.
Overall: great quality at an amazing price! For the business traveler needing somewhere to set-up shop, or the leisure traveler looking for a sheikh yet affordable stay.
