Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “I like the Old Town Marriott because it's a clean, large room; meets my expectations and is close to my bar.” 2
- “Courtyard Salt River is new and nice. Excellent location” 2
- “This is a little older hotel, no club (but we did have the option of breakfast credits), but we've stayed there a few times because the location is ideal.” 3
- “The location was tucked back in a commercial park next to a residence Inn that also shared the clean and beautiful pool. There is a Walmart about a 1/3 mile walk across the street, but other than that it's not a very walkable location.” 2
- “I find the rooms nice but OP and maybe some other people might find it a little bit outdated. To me really the only thing that was a bit outdated was the rooms.” 2
- “Unless you are in the canyon suites, it's ridiculously outdated - I do like the place and the overall resort is really nice (was there a couple months ago)” 2
- “Hands down the Phoenician if you want luxury and friendly staff .” 2
- “The staff was really great and the front desk clerk double checked if we needed anything.” 3
- “Hands down the Phoenician if you want luxury and friendly staff . You can get decent pricing for off shoulder weeks .” 2
- “The Scottsdale Marriott Old Town is dated, but kept up very well. The staff is also great.” 2
- “The staff was friendly and I received a room upgrade.” 2
- “Phoenician is nice but might seem a little outdated, ritz-carlton paradise valley is the modern option but very expensive.” 2
- “I like the Old Town Marriott because it's a clean, large room; meets my expectations and is close to my bar.” 2
