Top hotels in Downtown
Talking Stick Resort
The room was very clean. The pools were great for relaxing with the bars close by. I was able to have dinner at several of their restaurants and took advantage of the spa. The spa was 10/10. Perfect hotel for everyone.

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!

The McCormick Scottsdale
The hotel is older. The first room we were put in smelled musty and the restroom was dirty. The 2nd room we were put in was fine. The restroom was updated but the carpet in the room was dirty. The beds were very uncomfortable.

Tempe Oasis
We had a great time. The room was fantastic, my kids loved the pool and clubhouse, staff were very helpful. The area overall, sure it is a little sketchy. But I would not think twice about staying at this proeprty again.
