At first sight the place looks decent. The decor in the lobby was really nice and retro. The lady checking us in was very nice and informative.
After checking in and unpacking a bit we hung out by the pool. They didn't have a huge selection of alcohol let alone beer but they serve food from the restaurant Avalon, which is located on the same lot. The pool was pretty clean and the decor was retro and orange. The cushions on the lounge chairs just looked really old and used and need to be replaced.
Went back to our room and took a nap. Woke up to kids yelling and screaming in the next room about how big their bathroom was and they have 2 bath tubs, the mom got into it as well and then the father when he came in the room. THE WALLS ARE EXTREMELY THIN!! We packed up our bags, went back down to the lobby, and asked to switch rooms. They understood and let us know there was only one more room available and it is a handicap room. The bathroom was obviously a lot bigger as well as the shower. The shower in our previous room was tiny and so loud you couldn't hear your thoughts and the pressure from the shower head hurt so much. lol The shower in the new room was none of the above.
The room was located right in front of the parking lot and again I must emphasize that the WALLS ARE VERY THIN and being close to the lobby now we were in a populated area, people walking all day and all night back and forth by our room as well as vehicles and a motorcycle.
The location of the hotel was great for us. It was near downtown Scottsdale and many other things to do.
All in all the staff was extremley helpful and nice. I'm not sure I would stay here again but the rate is extremely cheap. So beyond the retro orange decor that made me want to gag and the EXTREMELY THIN WALLS, we had a great stay :-)
