When traveling on a budget, one likes to find a nice place to staywithout having to spend a fortune. This place fits that bill perfectly. While this hotel is an older one, it has been kept up nicely by the operators. When I first arrived, I was greeted witha smile, and the Front Desk staffed really seemed happy I had chosen to stay at their hotel. The lobby is small, and there were several other guests waiting to check in, and even though I had to wait to check in, the staff was effieceint, and really hustled to get to everybody as quickly as possible. When I finally I got checked in and got to the room I discovered the room had yet to be cleaned. The staff was very apolgetic, and corrected the situation as quick as they could, but the room they transfered me to had wet carpet. I must have caught them on carpet cleaning day! The room itself was adequate. Nothng too fancy, but clean and comfortable. A real great value for the money. They do not provide a daily housekeeping service, which is okay. Even at home I don;t change the linens every day, so that was not a big deal. Staying just a few days, it worked out nicely. There is one major drawback, though. Their address shows them on Scottsdale Road,but they are actually on a side street, about a block from the major street,making it hard to find. A great value for the money, and prossibly the cheapest rates in Scottsdale.

I wish I had read the Feb 13 review before we checked in. This will teach me. Upon checking in we were informed that there is no maid service so we would have to bring dirty towels back to the office each day to exchange for new ones. This was the highlight of my stay. We opened the door to the nastiest smelling room imaginable. The carpets were so dirty i was afraid for my new shoes. The mattresses (smaller than double, I believe) appeared to be sitting on plywood frames and squeaked upon each move throughout the endless nights. The residents next door seemed permanent and played guitar hero until 3 a.m. Of course, there were no amenities, not even a plastic cup in the bathroom to brush your teeth. I won't even mention the cracked mirror, sticky bathroom floor or no shower curtain liner.

This place is old and tired. The room smelled like an ashtray. Bed was hard and smelly. Room was dirty in general. Bathroom was terrible. No shampoo, no amenities. Place is noisy, maids are noisy and the staff could care less. Stay away from this place. It's a dump.

Crosslands is the cheaper version of Extended Stay. It is like a standard hotel room with the bathroom vanity area converted with a small sink, stove top, and dorm sized refrigerator. They have exterior entrances instead of the Extended stay design. I had just stayed at a Crosslands in another state (and have stayed at several Extended Stays). When I went to check in here and inquired about this the desk clerk said she had never heard of Crosslands and did not know what I was talking about. I was early for check in (around 1:30 instead of 3:00) and was told that I'd have to come back "sometime later in the day" as no rooms were ready.
The reception area was cluttered and it did not look very clean, although I can't say how clean the rooms were.
My opinion is that the price was too high for the size and quality of the rooms, so I canceled my reservation and went elsewhere.
