Phoenix (AZ) hotels & accommodations
Nice hotel! With a great Waterpark. The hotel is huge with a confusing layout. Took a while to get our bearings and how best to get to room, car, pools, etc. The staff was extremely friendly and the waterpark was great. Dont plan on bringing your own drinks to the park. You need to buy drinks from the bar (no big deal.) My 5 year old was bummed he was not tall enough ...
Lovely nomadic atmosphere, great looking trees, structure and ambiance. Only improvement will be a shuttle service availability from Phoenix International Airport for guests!
The Talking Stick resort has a lot going for it, including 5 restaurants, nice pool areas, a large parking garage, and a very good high-end restaurant with good food and an amazing view. The rooms are modern, comfortable and well designed. And the resort is located near a major highway that gives access to anywhere you want to go in Phoenix/ Scottsdale. Gambling an...
The only con was that I booked this place primarily for the pool and it was closed for remodeling the week I stayed here, and didn’t find out until I was checking in. Other than that, this hotel was super cute. I loved the decor and the room. The restaurant/bar Tranquilo downstairs serves delicious food and margaritas, and has great ambience. I will stay here every ti...
We recently stayed at the Omni at Montelucia the second week on March. Not knowing anything about the Pheonix/Scottsdale area, I researched dozens of properties looking for a property that would work well for our family (2 adults, 9 yo, 7 yo). There are a lot to choose from but because of the deal on the Omni, we ended up going with it. We are so happy we did! The...
We booked this room because our daughter had a liver transplant and we needed to be close to hospital after her release. Unfortunately she wasn't released but it was too late to cancel. So my husband stayed most nights and I one night. The room was a 2 room king suite. I thought the couch was a hideabed but when we removed cushions all we found was popcorn. Other...
This resort is in a great location in Scottsdale, AZ. Newly renovated but still lacking some things. In our 1st room, the garbage bins was still full with garbage from previous guest and the used bath-rob in the closet was tangled into a ball of the floor. The 2nd room was missing some towels. All rooms have only one small desk chair, and one luggage stool which is not...
I have stayed here multiple times when traveling through Phoenix and found it to be a good value. The rooms are clean, although they feel a bit sterile from the lighting, but well laid out. For a traveler coming through and needing certain proximity to the airport without being right there it is great. Not posing itself as a luxury hotel, but comfortable to stay at....
This is the best value in Scottsdale. Easy and fast check-in. Driven in a golf cart to our room. Rooms was spacious and clean. Loved having courtesy van giving us rides. The grounds are beautiful!
Location is perfect, but rooms are terrible. Old, tired with low ceilings. You get one window that looks out onto the hallway. Useless as the window is, you cannot use it unless you want hallway people gawking into your room. We had a king room and were extremely disappointed at what we got for the money. Room looked like something you'd get at a much lower class ...
beautiful room with a gorgeous view If you need to stay near the airport this is A great place to stay

Loved this hotel!! The Hotel Valley Ho is situated perfectly for walking access to the best restaurants, galleries, and museums. But why leave? The atmosphere at the hotel--an iconic mid-century gem that sparkles with sunshine and cleanliness--is inviting. Open the vast sliding glass doors and step out onto your private patio or balcony and enjoy the breeze from a spra...
My favorite hotel in Phoenix
Very Nice Hotel,they give chocolate cookie which is very good, the room and parking lot are comfortable...the only minus is only the parking lot are quite dark at night...but overall it is a very nice hotel
This hotel was conveniently located to the airport which is what I needed. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was very large and the bed was very comfortable! I liked everything about this hotel and will be booking it for my next stay. In fact, I will be looking for Best Western whenever I travel now.
We paid about $45 for one night. Room was very big with lots of space. However we got there it was hot. Not like AC unit just on 72/75. Like AC off until you turn it on. Then took hours to cool down the room. Staff was not the most friendliest, but hey they got the job done. Overall it was just a solid night.
You realize quickly the hotels around you have a lot more going on. If you plan to be out and about then this is the best place to stay. Location is excellent and staff were very friendly! Sound in front rooms could be challenging with the club and hotel adjacent are busy until the early morning.

Although my stay this time was only overnight, I have stayed here previously and can highly recommend this Hotel. It is in an excellent situation and within easy reach of Scottsdale Old Town, Fashion Square, and the Phoenix/Scottsdale Metro Area. Although the Hotel offers breakfast and has a bar service it is in easy reach of the many restaurants in the area. The s...
Stayed in two different Casita King rooms on two separate nights. Both rooms were clean and very large. More like a studio apartment than a hotel room. Staff was very helpful. Subtracted one star on cleanliness due to old furniture and appliances stored in the tennis court out back. Really not a big issue since you only see it from the parking lot or if you peak out th...
We love the Boulders. Best value for the money. Great couples place. Wonderful golf course. Rooms show a bit wear but not bad. Sliding doors to outside don’t slide well.....all tree years of stats. Some tiles/rocks in floors ate loose (every visit). Best to stay on Casita without room above you. Sometimes a bit noisy. Great food and service. Fantastic golf b...
Booked a King standard room for our 10 year Anniversary. During check-in they mentioned our room was upgraded to a King Suite at no additional cost. The room was amazing! Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was in the middle of nowhere but that was a good thing when we wanted alone time. Casino was just down the hall from our room. Can't wait to book another...
Ive stayed a few times....I would say it is an at home atmosphere. The staff is very helpful if you need anything. The breakfast is not great unless you are just interested in coffee, fruit, boxed cereal...oh, they do have a waffle maker. Its not the "regular" morning breakfast you might find elsewhere. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable.
Still haven’t gotten my Hilton Honors Points. Do you know if I will get them?
The staff were wonderful, the rooms and facilities were great. It was my wife's birthday and everyone went out of their way to make sure it was memorable. Management sent a bottle of wine with a card signed by the staff to our room. We never left the hotel since everything we needed was available at the resort. The restaurant and bar had great food and drink specials...
We stayed here for 2 nights. We came in very late the first night and got a king bed suite despite having reserved a 2 queen bed suite. The gal at the front desk was super accommodating though and told me to check in with her the next morning to see if a 2 queen bed suite became available. Well there was no need to follow up with her because she called me and let me...
The room was very clean and spacious however, difficult for my handicapped mother. I had to threaten to go somewhere else at check-in when they advised no ground floor units were available. I had made a request for handicapped access with my reservation and followed up with a phone call the week before our stay. It seems there are no handicap access rooms and the fa...
basic hotel, we had a 2 bedroom suite complete with lounge/dinning and basic kitchen and for its price it was good valve as it included a basic breakfast it was a little noisy at night from passing traffic would stay again if we need to be on that side of phoenix

This is not a hip hotel. It's plain, but cheap. Don't expect much as far as amenities, but if you don't need a pool, gym, or spa, this will do. If you're in Scottsdale and hanging out at the hotel - well - that just kind of explains itself. The staff are friendly and facilitating, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. No major issues. I've stayed here dozens of tim...
Nothing amazing here, but good for what it is. Staff nice and helpful and close enough to the airport and Tempe.
I only had one issue to speak of during my four-night stay here. And the management took care of the situation quickly and to my satisfaction. This part of Mesa, Arizona is certainly not a tourist destination, however if you need to be in this area, this is a great value and I would definitely stay here again. For the price, I was pleasantly surprised that my room had ...
This property is a great value airport hotel with a free airport shuttle. One can see the airport tower nearby, however, on roads, it's probably a couple miles to the entrance of the airport, about 8 minutes or so. There are closer hotels, however, they seem to get seedier as one gets closer and I don't know their prices. I got an excellent, large well appointed roo...
Very large clean rooms. Beds comfortable and great shower. Pool area and hot tube clean and fun. Very friendly staff, especially Katelyn who was especially helpful! Highly recommend this hotel.
Dirty room. Only one towel per room for multiple people. Toilet clogs every time it is used and you have to plunge it each time. Power washers cleaning early in the morning hitting the doors and windows. Miserable experience.
Construction going on on street , a little hard getting in and out.
There were too many things not working in the room - window won’t open, door won’t close/lock, shower knob was too tight and was leaking. Hotel attendant had to come multiple times to fix problem which I think he was aware of. Then as we were sleeping, we smelled something coming from the vents. It smelled like marijuana from people upstsirs. That scared us and we st...
Clean, no-frills hotel. Friendly staff. I enjoyed breakfast, which was included (waffles, eggs, and sausage). Located in nice part of town.
If you’re looking for a place to just sleep at night this hotel is a great value. The property has recently been updated the rooms were clean and the price was right.
toilet bowl choked made us have to change room in late night, the next room bedsheet is dirty but luckily the staff is friendly enough to change bedsheet for us at late night.
Near by strip, low price and nice employees are there ! Thanks

i expected this to be run down and drug known but it wasnt and the staff was politie
Cons- bad area lots of noise drug addicts lots of cops going there not to clean unprofessional -pros 45 a night
Really isn't that great. Sketchy people and the tv didn't work. But we needed a place to sleep and they had a bed. Also we were able to have our dog!
It was quite a bit cheaper than comparable hotels nearby and was a really good value for a basic room. The hotel was quiet, staff were courteous and helpful, the room was clean, and the mattress was in good condition. Book directly with the hotel, they match on-line prices and give an additional discount.
Staff was helpful and the room was clean. Would stay again
I love the fact that this hotel is right off the freeway. Easy to get to (except the traffic). And easy to get home. Was here for medical reasons and will return in 2 months.
I did not see a single Bug! This place is Great!

Days Inn Phoenix Airport is a good value for money. My upstairs room was clean, well furnished , and very useful during my short stay. TV station selection, coffee & other amenties, telephone, and a clean bed were enjoyed by me.
Staff is terrific - always trying to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Very good location to where I work on weekends. Not a whole lot for their breakfast menu if you're looking for something hearty. However, I am usually gone for work before they are set up at 6am, so not big deal to me.
It smelled so clean and the rooms were clean. That is very important to me.
I will not book another say because of the lack of communication I am getting from Agoda. in regards to 233131254, I believe around November 24. An email regarding my issue was sent saying resolved but in reality to me it was not. Can't get a human on the phone and still believe that you are still holding my money and I have no room for these dates. I am very unhapp...
This hotel is decent. I don't like that they charge early in and late out fees. Sometimes you need the extra 20 minutes, and it won't adversely affect their housekeeping, so what's a half hour either way?
Hotel was clean and staff helpful. The small outdoor pool was a refreshing way to start the day. I would add oatmeal to the complimentary breakfast menu. The breakfast bar had just one packet of high sugar instant oatmeal which is too much sugar for many seniors.
This property needs a lot of help. Arriving we were greeted with sidewalks that needed to be swept and and one entrance door that was locked leaving only one side of the double doors available[ to enter the property. I booked this property based on reviews. It sounded great. I used a site to book called Agoda that clicked thru while I was booking. Never will use th...
Upgraded to a suite very big
4-star hotels in Phoenix (AZ)
Great price for a end of summer staycation. Roomy suite for family with young kids. Room slept 6. Very nice water park for a resort this size. Best water slides in Arizona. Golf, tennis, horseback riding. Outlet mall across the street, and wide variety of shopping near by. Fifteen minutes to airport, Arizona State University or downtown Phoenix.
Lovely nomadic atmosphere, great looking trees, structure and ambiance. Only improvement will be a shuttle service availability from Phoenix International Airport for guests!

My wife and I were on a Covid vacation to AZ. I ultimately chose Hotel Adeline. We booked the one king suite. Very nice and spacious, loved the setup.

This is a nice hotel and I love this location. I used to live in Phoenix so maybe I'm a bit biased as I've lived in that area. I was given an upgrade because as it turns out they needed to have a room available for a person with disabilities and since I had none, I was given an upgrade. It was a nice room, however, a bit dated. But still no complaints.
We experienced repeated unwanted advances from a male employee. While the staff were EXCELLENT in their response, we were told a report of the incident could not be provided to us because we were on Reservation land. Federal and state laws do not apply while you stay at this property.
I’ve now heard/read a couple of reviews about the uncomfortable bed. I slept like a rock each night, and, aside from my own bed, temperpedic, it was VERY comfortable.
I had a great time at this hotel. Was one of my favourites ever. Location is great and so much to do and see. Feel like you are right in the action.
I was only in the US for three nights to attend a wedding in Phoenix and the staff (particularly Adam at the bar) were all fantastic. Room was spacious and clean.
Highly recommend DoubleTree Phoenix Tempe, a very nice place awesome location very close to the airport, definitely appreciated the free shuttle to and from the airport. excellent staff very efficient.
Pros- staffs are on point! Cons- condition is between 2-3 but far from 4 stars hotel.
Very nice. Way better then your regular motel/hotel.Staff were great, rooms were very nice, bed comfy, jacuzzi tub, and amenities nice as well. Definitely will return any time in mesa!
The staff was friendly but the property is old and inconvenient. Too expensive
This was our 3rd stay in as many years. We will likely be back.
Great hotel but more suiting for young children. We had an awesome time at the pool!
The part that took us by surprise - the price included breakfast - we called to check that it included for All of us 2 adults and kids as the website mentioned ‘max 1 adult’ - they confirmed it is a mistake and it was for All. At check in time we were told Breakfast was not included at all and they did not have any instructions until I showed them email confirmation. A...
We chose the Palomar for a birthday staycation and it was just what we wanted. The big bath tub was the selling point and it did not disappoint! The regular king rooms don’t come with the bathtub so make sure to request it at check in, Cody at the front desk was happy to upgrade our room to a suite because we booked for the tub. The hotel was very clean, quiet and had ...
Great location! We enjoyed the hot tub and pool and Starbucks coffee every morning! The view from our apartment was gorgeous. The only issue was that the windows are east facing and the window coverings were not room darkening, so our rooms lit up at 5 30 every morning!! The location was Great! So close to shopping, parks, and local attractions. Thank you for a relaxi...
My stay at the Renaissance Hotel went well. There were some positives and few negatives listed below. Positives: 1). Hotel Staff were very professional, caring, and made you feel right at home in the hotel. Staff would greet you with a smile. 2). Variety of mini-shops within the hotel was great to have without having the need to go out and find places to get stuff. 3...
Our family LOVED this hotel. Very cool ambiance and next to Arizona State Univ.
This resort has a Lot if aged history the rooms are up to date and everything was amazing friendly staff in every direction. The waterpark has two slides for kids to enjoy and have fun across the street is a couple of restaurants and a sports bar .
Encountered some people trying to steal things from chairs at the pool area. The food was good although took way too long to get once ordered. Food at the pool was fast to get.
I enjoy staying at The Sheraton Grand Downtown Phoenix with its great location and the staff is extremely friendly and the staff is always very happy and knowledgeable about what’s happening in Phoenix!

The rooms were very comfortable and well designed. Easy to get around in and airy and bright, with a small and open sitting area outside. Checking in and out was simple and quick. The staff was very helpful and the grounds were immaculate. The hotel is very well situated and if we find ourselves back in the area we would stay there again.
bad location, only close to Mayo clinic. poor service
