| - Chic and trendy on a shoestring..... Just finished an enjoyable four day stay at Saguaro Scottsdale. If you have "W" taste with Holiday Inn budget... this might be the place for you.
PROS:
Location... steps to old town shops, gallaries, pubs and restaurants.
Beautiful landscaped grounds with creative and dramatic water features.
Two pools, one party central, one on the quiet side.
Great Pool food.
Excellent In room Coffee.
Excellent Room service (price & quality)
Great security lighting throughout the property.
Bed & bedding was very good.
Bathroom amenities were good.
Copies of old Arizona Highways magazines in the rooms a plus.
Internet worked fine.
Complimentary Bikes to borrow.
CONS:
Guest Agent checked me in, took my cell phone and said she'd call when my room was ready. She went off duty two hours later... I never got a call.
Renovation done on the cheap. Creative at times yes but cheap!!!
Old bathtub, tile enclosure, floor tile, toilet, mirror and light fixture in bathroom.
(Sink and cabinet were replaced as well as hardware)
In room carpeting with the texture and feel of indoor/outdoor carpeting.
Sliding Glass door was only window for light. It has only a blackout curtain so no option for privacy with natural light.
No comfortable furniture in room, one IKEA desk chair, and a Mexican import table and chairs.
No comfortable outside furniture on the private patios. IKEA plastic-rubber set.
Pool chaises and beds were stained. Should have removable covers that can be cleaned.
Pool short staffed two out of four days. Towels, garbage accumulated in pool area.
(Why can't people drop their used towels in the hamper when done with pool time????)
Loud old fashioned in the wall AC & heat. They did install a wall mounted thermostat and a decorative shell for the units.
The hotel is fun... a solid three stars.
