Hotel Valley Ho

10/10 Excellent

"This is a cool, big, retro hotel that is fun to stay at. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Two pools are great and it's walking distance from custom-coffee shops and old-town Scottsdale."

Kimpton Miralina Resort & Villas by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was very modern and clean. The property around and pools were great and spacious. We did have to ask to get our room cleaned after three days after we ran out of towels and our garbage was piling up. Staff was friendly and responded to our request quickly"
