| - I reviewed this place about a year ago. We have stayed here several times over the last 6 or 7 years and love it.
What's to like? Clean, comfortable rooms, only missing a microwave. A great staff, friendly and helpful. The interior courtyard is great, with a pool, grass areas, nicely landscaped and the wonderful aviary with birds (mostly parakeets) that start chirping the morning. We often sit out on the swing or in the gazebo in the evening.
60s style architecture, which we love, and they have small Christmas like lights that decorate the gazebo and some of the trees. Nice flower garden as well. Because the rooms all face inward to the courtyard you would never know it sits on a major street! Quiet!
Terrific location, 5 minutes from downtown Scottsdale, 10 minutes to the 101 loop and the 202 which joins with all major freeways. 10 minutes to the Desert Botanical Garden.
Nice little cafe that serves good breakfasts (breakfast only). There's a really good pub in the adjacent shopping center that serves a nice variety of beers and really good bar food. One of the beers they had on tap (rotating beers) was from Finland!
If you are looking for a place with a fancy lobby, spa, etc., this isn't it, but if you are looking for a friendly and relaxing place at a very reasonable price, look no further.
I can't help but wonder how long it will stay this way but as long as it does we will be coming back.
