Overpriced "special" for the 4th gave us a view of South Phoenix and the lonely abandoned hotel across the block. No option for views of fireworks to the north and east. Blue Hound closed for holiday, as well as the many excellent eateries downtown. Pool & DJ opened to the Public. We saw two servers in two hours at the pool top; never did anyone personally offer service. Front desk offering plenty of excuses & more drink credits but people needed food & service.
Don't waste your time here as other downtown hotels have far better views & service, with more reasonable rates. It is noted that local guide in room has the majority of listed restaurants in Scottsdale & Arcadia. Kimpton seems out of touch with downtown establishments.
