This place was nice but a few things kept it from being really nice. We booked this on priceline.com and got it for $50 a night. After all the taxes and fees it was about $62.00 a night.....then comes the dreaded "resort fee" which is an extra $19.00 a night. More on that later.
We arrived at the hotel and check in was a breeze. The guy who checked me in was awesome! Super friendly and he even gave me options on where we wanted to be in the hotel. We chose to be 3rd floor near the pool. Got our keys and parked our car (they have valet if you want to use it).
The room itself was NICE! It was huge! It had 2 beds, 2 desks, 2 chairs and a table with a sitting area etc. It was a really nice room. The bathroom was spacious and it had a vanity outside the bathroom too. Huge walk in closet too! One of the better hotel rooms I have seen in Scottsdale. Beds were comfy with 4 feather pillows on each bed. LG 40 inch TV.
So why only 3 stars? A few things........ that resort fee. $19 is fine for a resort fee. It hypes the things it includes (parking, free wifi, bike rentals etc). Well, the parking was wide open because nobody is in Arizona in the summer so there weren't reserved spaces or anything. The TV had Dish or DirecTV and a few channels, mainly ESPN had real bad tiling and some others didn't even come in. Also...the free wifi....it sucked. I could get on with my phone ok but it was slow and dropped. I was only able to get on one time with my computer though. Late at night. Every other time it gave me a server error etc. If you are going to try to justify things that are included in the "resort fee", they better work! The pool was just ok too. It wasn't the cleanest plus there were a ton of kids in it. We only stayed in for about 30 minutes. It was just ok.
All in all, it wound up costing about $80 a night after all the fees etc. That's a little steep for a hotel in the middle of July in Arizona when nobody is there and they should be GIVING away rooms. The people that worked there were really nice, and the room was excellent but I'm not sure if I would stay here again....cheaper options available elsewhere.
