After 6 hours on the road, it was nice to be immediately greeted by the front desk guy. In 5 minutes, we were handed the keys to our room, which overlooked the swimming pool and patio area.
The room itself is decent. Scent alone, the room was clean and didn't have that musty odor smell other hotel rooms tend to have. I guess it helped that the room had some plasticky vinyl blinds, instead of the typical drapes. Bed sheets and between the mattresses passed muster - clean and no signs of bed bugs. I thought that the Neutrogena toilettries were a nice touch.
At $86 a night, it was a pretty sweet deal, putting us within walking distance to Old Town Scottsdale w/ all of it's little shops and restaurants. It was also within driving distance to Scottsdale Culinary, where my baby sis was graduating.
The only thing I did not like was the amount of horn honking cars and the loud party goers, which can be heard from our room. But, that was probably unavoidable due to 1) it was Halloween night and 2) we were a block away from a variety of bars and restaurants. Other than that, our previous night was pretty quiet.
Great place to stay. Great location. I would definitely stay here, again.
