If you're young (or young at heart) and don't want to break the bank, look no further than The Saguaro. You couldn't ask for a better location for Old Town Scottsdale. After chowing down at Distrito and having a drink or two at Old Town Whiskey, you're walking distance from two of my favorite Scottsdale drinking holes: AZ88 and Old Town Tavern.
The rooms are an interesting mish-mash of retro and functional/minimalist modern that works really well and makes for a comfortable stay. White walls contrast with vibrant purples and pinks; colored wood furnishings contrast with stainless steel and modern black and white photos along with old Arizona Highway magazines and other furnishings and accents from yesteryear adorn the rooms.
My suite had an awesome huge bathroom with cool toiletries; my bedroom had a comfy king bed; and a spacious double patio was accessible from the bedroom and the living room. The Saguaro also passed the test by having iPod docs in the bedroom....and necessity in my book!
We spent Sunday by the pool in a cabana. Needless to say we were very well looked after by the wonderful staff as a DJ cranked out some awesome tunes and we frolicked in the pool.definitely a party atmosphere and a FANTASTIC day!
My stay at the Saguaro was really great and i would recommend this property to anyone who wants to have a good time in Scottsdale and stay in a hip, cool property and still have some money to spend on drinks. The staff are all great and ready to help ensure your stay is great. They really took great care of us.
P.S. nice job on the purple carpet walkways throughout the hotel!!!!
