| - The Hotel Valley Ho is a pretty sweet place to stay with a good location in Scottsdale, I've been here a few times and really like it, but it is not without a couple of quirks.
My second time here they tried to tell me they were "valet only", I knew this was a lie, but just told them I would figure it out, they are also kind of high strung about pool access, but you just need an ID and room key to get in. My only other particular problem is they have no wait staff at the bar area, at least not late, I've never been there before midnight, it's a minor thing but really, I don't want to walk to the bar every time I want a drink or some fries, I've had a hard night.
The good news is that the rooms are awesome, I love the modern/retro blend and think the big tubs with "mood lighting" and the ridiculous shower heads are amazing. The grounds are beautiful with bright green grass everywhere and the layout and design of most of the hotel are straight out of a Rat Pack how to book. The beds are super comfy and the original buildings have balconies with lounge chairs.
Even with some negatives, even with a valet staff that flat out lies to me, even with a fairly high price, I love coming here and look forward to every opportunity. Something about this place is so fantastic to me, if I figure out how to explain it I'll update my review, but with it's close proximity to all things Old Town and minute walk to the great Trader Vics, I hope I have a chance to stay here again soon.
