Very rude and unhelpful front desk service before and during check-in. The band playing poolside was horrible, too loud and drove us away from the pool only to be heard just as loud in our hotel room due in part to the 1/2 inch gap all around the exterior door in which we could see daylight and street lights at night. Save your money and book elsewhere.

You can't get a better location for spring training, because it's an easy walk to the stadium and also steps from Old Town. The pool and hot tub areas were nice, though the chaise lounges were extremely uncomfortable unless you padded the bar going across with a towel. There was a nice cafe. Apparently it is being torn down or renovated according to a permit application sign in front. It's a shame, every affordable hotel we've stayed at in Scottsdale undergoes "rennovation" and triples the price, and I expect the same will happen here, too.

Cleaning staff didn’t clean. Left a tip and asked for an extra pillow, didn’t receive it. Dirt was swept into the corner, and covered with a relocated trash can. Beds were thrown back together hastily. Towels were taken but not replaced. Just doesn’t feel like a real hotel. Stay at the Hilton garden inn, instead.

Property is expensive and billed as a fancy, chiq hotel but it’s super run down. Everything in the room is falling apat, the stairs are warped and the grounds are meh. Everything is expensive, mediocre cafe for fancy prices, expensive drinks by the pool. Pay for parking but no one ever checks the lot. Was told housekeeping came automatically each day but the didn’t our first day so we had to request it. We were told due to occupancy they were trying to get to everyone but couldn’t. That was a Wednesday. When they did come, they emptied one of two trash cans, didn’t remove towels from the floor and only sort of put the bedding back on the bed. The pool was nice though a little chilly. The fitness center was decent though had tweens running in and out most the times we visited. Location to old town was great for walking. The front desk and folks answering the text messages (since no phones on the room) were kind and helpful. For the price, we won’t be staying there again.

This is false advertising. Property does not match the photos. Everything is dirty and dated. The room did not match the photo at all! I did not have a desk in my room. Bathroom had no electricity. I came in from a 22 hr flight, past midnight and stayed the night and checked myself into another hotel the following day. Front desk raised no issue and said I would get a refund from Expedia/Orbitz because the property would not charge me for the nights I didn’t stay and they printed me an invoice for the one night only. Now Orbitz is telling me I would not be given a refund. If you want to have a horrible time, book this hotel.
