Fun laid back hotel with great pool and walking distance to old town with restaurants bars galleries shops. Look for special rates! Took a jet over grand canyon- highly recommend Scottsdale for a quick desert getaway!

This 1950's built hotel has both evolved and morphed into something extraordinary and exciting. I am sure it had bad moments as the years went by but someone took a chance and turned this into a spectacularly different upscale dessert/urban destination. The rooms (this visit it was a suite....Room 409) are retro and have everything you could want for both comfort and enjoyment. Ask for the pool side view if you are in the high rise (7 stories?) building. Room service is prompt and courteous and the pool staff friendly and fast. They have bicycles to rent and are near the Arizona canal (or whatever it is called) that has a nice bikable trail next to it. You are also very close....nicely walkable....to lots of shopping and non-hotel restaurants. Rooms are not cheap but well worth the price.

The staff at this hotel is amazing. It seems that they are trying to anticipate your needs and be ready and waiting for you. The grounds are immaculate and beautiful as well as the guest rooms. The spa facility is "oh so peaceful and relaxing". I have been a guest there several times and every experience is equally awesome! Thank you Valley Ho.

My friends and I stayed for a girls weekend to treat ourselves to spa treatments and a night in Old Town. The service here is top notch! From the valet to the room service, everyone was on their "A" game. It is clear this hotel prides itself on Customer Service. The hotel is modern and simple - we stayed in the king basic room with a pool view. The room was clean and nice. The SPA treatments were excellent. They hire well trained professionals and I truly enjoyed the massage and makeup - although I wouldn't sit in the sauna. All around, nice stay. I prefer more elegance, so I won't be staying there again. But, I would definately recommend it to friends.
