If you are coming to AZ for an NFL, Collage football or NHL game, this is an excellent place to stay! The stadiums are out in Glendale which is super far from Scottsdale, 45mins in good traffic, after or before a game it is probably double that! I can only imagine what the cost of a cab is, so to have the full game day experience (with all the beer a super fan can handle) do yourself a favour and stay out at the arena. The Hilton and other hotels around it are stumbling distance from the Arenas, literally! It worked out perfect for us. And the rooms, lobby, pool are really quite nice. Super impressed with the pool area actually! They also have free brekkie in the lobby till 9:30am and a business centre. There rooms all have free wifi - which is so insanely needed for those of us rocking international phone plans!
Holiday Inn, I think i will most definitely see you again!
