| - In 1985, Dr. Emmett Brown invented time travel, and then in 2005, MSR Properties, with a little inspiration from Dr. Brown's time traveling ways, invented a Time Machine in the form of Hotel Valley Ho.
"1.21 gigawatts!"
So, if you're going to build a time machine with style, why not build it into a hotel? It's a genius idea. And if you still don't believe me when I say that this hotel is a time machine, just take one step inside in lobby. You'll immediately feel the clock reversing back to the 50s. It's a valley vintage twist on Back to the Future. A clever combination of 50s style with a new age flair.
The 50s decade is my favorite. I totally want to go back and live during that time. But I'd also like to throw in some updated elements, and Hotel Valley Ho does it all. What an excellent time machine!
When I'm at the Valley Ho, my concept of time goes out the window. That's how relaxed I am. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable and spacious. Things are simple yet exciting. Time moves slower here.
Matt and I always reserve a basic room - with soft teal, grass green, vibrant orange and snazzy reddish 50s decor and a heavenly cozy yet exceptionally large king bed covered in fun accent pillows. The bathroom contains a large shower and tons of counter space, as two people can get ready together side by side. Plenty of mirrors, spotless clean amenities and it's spacious, too! I've even enjoyed sitting out on the room's balcony while downing a bottle or two of champagne, especially when it's nice outside. For the price, it's a steal. Plus, make sure to check their Web site as there's always a special going on.
You can even find an updated Scottsdale version of the 1950s pin up girls here, just visit the pool scene and you'll see what I mean. The pool is hopping, well, during the spring/summer months at least. On the weekends they have a DJ, so it gets a little rowdy. They post the OH Pool Bar & Cabana rental info on their Web site too.
We've also rented a cabana twice, and it's 100% worth it. I stand firm in my belief that it's the best cabana deal around. The drink specials at the pool are fantastic, and the service is superior. With every cabana rental you get your choice of 3 free awesome amenities, like a fruit, veggie or hummus platter, deck of playing cards, Fiji waters... it's a nice bonus. With the refreshing misters, the luxurious lounge chairs, shaded sanctuary and prime pool access, the cabanas are a must do.
In the future, all hotels will have 5-star worthy customer service... that is if Valley Ho's staff is any indication. In today's world, most hotels have really lost that personalized touch, and they make you feel like one of many. Not Hotel Valley Ho, I always feel important here. From the front desk, to the bartenders, to the room service, it's all top notch. I've been here on multiple staycations have never had a bad experience.
I imagine that the two Hollywood darlings of the fifties, Audrey and Marilyn, would love a place like the Valley Ho. Especially since it encompasses the style and swank of a glamorous 50s hot spot. This hotel romanticizes the 50s by striking a balance between a sophisticated yet youthful atmosphere. Celebrities of the past and present have graced this hotel with their presence, and I expect this trend to continue into the future. It's a special place, and unlike any other hotel I've been to.
Anyone considering a trip to the Valley of the Sun must check out this hotel. If not only for the sole fact that it also doubles as a time machine! "1.21 gigawatts!"
