| - I travel often to Scottsdale for work, and have stayed in many of the nice hotels and standard business spots in the area: The Butes, Camelback Inn, Residence Inn, Courtyard, etc... and Marriott Old Town Suites is, by far, my favorite.
The location is hard to beat - right smack in the middle of Old Town within walking distance to all the great restaurants and bars and literally only 2 minutes from the Fashion Mall and Riverfront. For functionality, there is a Fry's and CVS two blocks east, so you can easily get any essentials and highway access is only a couple miles east to the 101. So convenient!
The staff is always extremely accommodating, and have always gone out of their way to make my stay enjoyable: fresh cookies at the counter, sending a microwave to my room, maintenance responding in less than 5 minutes to any issues with the a/c, helping me extend my reservation when travel plans change, offering to keep bags locked in their office when I needed to check out but wasn't heading to the airport until the evening... on and on... they will bend over backwards for you.
The breakfast buffet is always good - a nice reliable hot meal to start the day - well prepared eggs (with salsa - it IS Arizona after all), french toast, pancakes, bacon, sausage, bagels, pastries, fruit, hot oatmeal, cereals, and custom order omelets if you like...
The rooms are clean and beautiful - separate marble bath and shower (with rain shower head... nice!) granite counter tops vanity mirror, mini fridges, separate sitting area with couch and desk desk which you can close off from the bedroom, super comfortable bed completely covered in lots of down covers and pillows - like sleeping in a cloud - and a nice robe in the closet for lounging around after you take advantage of the soaking tub. Also, they provide bath and body works orange-ginger bath products - nice quality stuff that smells amazing.
The recently renovated gym is fully equipped - treadmills, bikes, weights, machines, exercise balls, yoga mats... it is a full mini gym, not those single treadmill in front of a mirror tricks some hotels put on their sites to make you think there is a gym onsite - this is the real deal. All of the machines are new and maintained properly. When I stay here, I have no issues with getting my morning workouts in and staying on track.
This is my top pick of places to stay when I visit Scottsdale for work - even over the JW Marriott Resort Camelback Inn... the combination of location, amenities, and convenience just can't be beat for me.
