For whatever reason, reviews for this place are all over the map. This is where I have stayed before and will stay again when coming to the area.
It is a convenient location, about a mile away from shopping (Old Town Scottsdale) and several of the local attractions (Desert Botanical Gardens, Phoenix Zoo, etc).
As a Best Western Rewards member, I have written a few reviews for Best Western Hotels and this is one of the nicest that I have stayed at.
We had a King sized bed which was only $59.00 a night and I slept like a baby. The room was decent sized and included a mini refrigerator to store any leftovers and drinks we would need during our stay. For whatever reason, there was no microwave and no room safe. But, the staff was very accommodating when we needed to heat up leftovers, they opened their kitchen to us which I think was above and beyond customer service.
It has a nice little courtyard with a gazebo, pool and bird aviary. All the rooms face the courtyard so you do not get any of the traffic noise from the very busy E. McDowell Road. They have a restaurant on site that serves breakfast and dinner. We ate breakfast there one morning and it was good. They also have a cute lounge area for drinks in the afternoon/evening but we did not have the chance to try.
If Yelp had 1/2 stars I would give it 3 1/2 stars.
