“Good value during Phoenix Open”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

I stayed here for a business trip that happened to fall during the week of Waste Managements, Phoenix Open. Rate was really good for a "Suite". Room was clean, but the carpet, couch and office chair needed DEEP cleaning or replacement. Linen's were good. Exterior was clean for the most part. Room doors open to a Courtyard and Pool. It did the job at a good rate. I didn't use the shuttle service, however I did see that there were people being moved around. I'd stay again if I need a place in Kierland area of Scottsdale.

“Good value & pleasant experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

We stayed the week of the Barrett-Jackson car auction. We felt the price was reasonable. The location was great and the free breakfast was just OK but still better than what some other hotels offer for free. The best part was the free shuttle to anywhere within about 5 miles. We could leave our car there and just call when we needed a ride. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were large and the beds were wonderful. The only real problem was the sheets would not stay on the bed. Get deeper pocketed fitted sheets! We are going back next year and will stay here again.

“Good Value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

Nice place for the price! Rooms are large and well equipped. The free breakfast was not the best we have ever had...actually not good at all. There was an unidentifiable brown stain in the middle of the light colored couch in the living room. We would not sit on the couch. The claim a short 2 block walk to Kierland...It is a very LONG walk. But, the hotel is a good value and we will try them again.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your comments. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy everything about our property. I’m glad you’ll come back and I assure you we are making improvements and trying to provide good value for our customers.

I apologize that you didn’t like the breakfast but we do try to keep the variety and quality high. A full breakfast buffet is included in the room rate. It varies every day, some items you’ll find on different days are scrambled eggs, egg casserole with peppers, sausage, bacon, pancakes, French toast, biscuits & gravy – we try to change it up and have different things offered throughout the week. We do not offer all these things every day, just a selection. We also always have fruit, yogurt, cereal, coffee, milk and juice. We just recently added oatmeal based on a guest’s suggestion. Maybe you caught us in an off day but we're working to improve the consistency.

I understand your comment about our sofas. Some of them are older but they are all being replaced. We are working with a local manufacturer and she has assured me we’ll have them all by the end of April. We are changing out any that are stained or worn first and we’re very excited to be getting all the new sofa beds.

We are located ¼ mile from Scottsdale Road, where the Scottsdale Quarters and Kierland Commons shopping areas are located. It is only 2 blocks but I think we should describe it as being ¼ mile to give a better picture and I’ll work with my staff to communicate this.

Again, thank you for your comments and for taking the time to post them. I always value feedback from our customers. I hope that when you do return you’ll see a difference and have a great stay.

“Nice Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

We stayed here for 7 nights while visiting the Mayo Clinic. Staff was very accommodating.The first room we where given had a smell. When I called the front desk Taylor immediately switched rooms for us. Great shopping and dining options within walking distance so don't let the airport being next door scare you. Just don't forget your ear plugs!! You will want them. For what we paid we where happy.

“Scottsdale Overnight Visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

We would stay at this hotel again. We were pleased with the cleanliness and layout of the room. We did not have any issues with the heat or the plumbing. The price was great for the area, the staff was friendly and helpful. The food in the lounge and for breakfast was good.
