This was the hotel my guests and I stayed at for my wedding. Even if you don't include a group block rate, the prices at the Hilton Garden Inn are incredible for North Scottsdale. This may be one of the cheaper hotels in the area. The staff is also easy to work with and very accommodating. Lexy, the sales manager, was wonderful about addressing all of our concerns about reservations and arranging transportation for our guests.
The rooms are clean and spacious, and each has a microwave and mini fridge. The shower had great water pressure, and I have no complaints about the comfort of the bed. I didn't watch very much TV, but I believe there was a full list of channels not just the standard hotel package of 10 to 20 channels and HBO. The outdoor pool is well shaded by the building and trees around it, making it a perfect spot to cool off on a warm summer afternoon.
If you're looking for a basic hotel, this Hilton Garden Inn will surpass needs. If you need more amenities, there are several resorts in just minutes away.
