Top hotels in Downtown
Fountain Park Hotel, BW Signature Collection
Great staff. The only thing I would recommend is getting the 2nd elevator fixed. Have to wait on one very small elevator is frustrating.

Talking Stick Resort
Lovely facility; excellent staff; many tasty restaurant options; non-smoking so none of that stale smoke smell many casinos have. Really, a sense of culture and art gallery to the place. Many quiet places to sit in addition to the casino energy. Highly recommend.

DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Paradise Valley - Scottsdale
The bathroom was dirty especially the shower. You can tell it has been renovated, however, it has not been up kept. The cleaning ladies never cleaned my room or provided turn down service. They only knocked on my door to give clean towels. I really didn’t utilize the pool.

Hotel Valley Ho
We had a great time. Gabe at the pool was awesome! He is a real go getter. I wish the pool had been warmer, it was a bit cold for me. The vibe was great and loved the DJ music!
