Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “Most do appreciate the DoubleTree's friendly customer service, as well as the on-site amenities, such as the two pools and tennis courts.” 9
- “+1 for Camelback Inn. Iconic, historic property and great service and vibes” 12
- “Hard to rate. Staff friendly. Rooms clean and big enough.” 6
- “I mean there's a bar, the staff seems a little more seasoned and professional, and the building seems a little better maintained, but I'm paying double just for the room what I could pay for a quality inn, even without my friends and family discount.” 6
- “I'm not sure if it was the time of year we went, but the hotel never felt too crowded during the day and we had such quick service.” 12
- “Hotel Adeline isn't the nicest property but the staff is generally helpful, rooms are kept clean but the pool vibe on the weekend can be young and loud.” 12
- “One thing I did find is that the lobby area the carpet was stained. And again, this goes with the idea that it's a very nice hotel, but it's just not kept up to what it could or should be.” On camera139:05
- “Maybe they don't have enough staff to take care of everything, but it's a nice hotel, don't get me wrong, but it needs some upkeep.” On camera1313:55
- “I was assisted immediately, but the check-in representative struggled to find my itinerary.” 14
- “But again, as I walked back through the pool area, there's just trash that's not picked up. People's towels are everywhere. It just seems like nobody is here to clean up and maintenance the hotel like on a regular basis.” On camera1316:04
- “In addition, the waiter checked on us frequently and provided excellent service, which is always appreciated.” 14
- “As mentioned before, the bathroom was pretty small, and I could understand why there was a powder room to compensate for the lack of space.” 14
- “The beds are functionally the same, you get a sink, a bath, DT has a better tv, while quality inn has more plugs for my phone and a desk lamp, etc etc.” 6
- “The shower used a standard showerhead, and the water pressure was below average.” 14
- “The bathroom layout is odd in that the counter and sink are in the bedroom, not bathroom.” 6
- “And here we have the shower. So nothing special. This kind of feels dated. Kind of old. It needs to be redone, I think.” On camera131:46
- “The sliding shower door was perfect for cramped space, but it was inconvenient to shut the door after getting in; I had to slide a heavy, handleless sheet of glass.” 14
- “The all American breakfast was decent as well; the eggs were cooked perfectly as ordered and the breakfast sausages were snappy and delicious.” 14
- “According to their website their rooms don't offer a microwave, but if you pay a higher rate items can be brought to the room. $25 for breakfast seems pretty steep.” 6
- “Other than the birds, the food was good; my chorizo burrito was slightly greasy, but the cheese melted perfectly, and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.” 14
- “Yes you're an uber ride to old town, but the restaurants on-site are fantastic.” 12
- “I would stay at the global ambassador. Close to old town. New and the spa and restaurants are great.” 12
- “And when it comes to cooking up contemporary Southwestern cuisine, travelers say that chef Don Molinich does a wonderful job at Asadero Cocina and Cantina.” 9
- “Yea my wife and I stayed at a cambria, and its basically what you said, maybe a step down, and business otiented. But everything was fancy and we got upgraded to their best room, ritzy bar, good food, felt hoppin.” 6
- “Choice also has free breakfast, while had to pay $25 for the same exact thing this morning.” 6
- “And they do have quite a selection for their menu.” On camera1314:33
- “Then with the breakfast, I pay $80 for a room with ammenities that includes free breakfast at quality, while at DT I pay $25 extra for the same thing.” 6
- “That adds ups quickly. They also charge for breakfast! I'm surprised they don't nickel and dime you more with an attendant at the pool selling swimming tickets, charge for ice and god help you if you want clean towels.” 6
- “If you can swing the Global I don't think you'll be disappointed. Yes you're an uber ride to old town, but the restaurants on-site are fantastic.” 12
- “And you had a host that you were expected to tip for saying "sit anywhere you want" and "how's the food you got from the buffet," I mean the guy was super nice and hard working and I was happy to tip him like 40%, cuz of all the crap he was taking from the other customers (one guy walked out cuz they wouldn't make him a personalized egg white omelet).” 6
- “The food itself was the exact same as at choice (though I will admit the quality of the actual cooking at choice free breakfast can vary quite a bit).” 6
- “But everything was fancy and we got upgraded to their best room, ritzy bar, good food, felt hoppin. Definitely better than home lol.” 6
- “Made Market is ideal for breakfast on-the-go, serving Starbucks coffee, bagels, and pastries” 9
- “Both have greats pools and a good restaurant.” 12
- “Andaz is in a weird location, kind of like they just plopped it down anywhere just to be on Scottsdale Road.” 12

- “Mountain Shadows is nice, I just hate the location.” 12
- “From what I saw online, the hotel grounds are very large and it looked like a stunning hotel, but let's check it out. This area is also in an amazing part of Scottsdale. It's just beautiful here and conveniently located.” On camera130:10
- “Stay at Montelucia unless you want to walk to Sumo Maya. You know that run down house that was bought by an investor and was redone with the purpose of "flipping"? That is the feel Andaz has to me. I do enjoy Weft and Warp though.” 12
- “The room is pretty much the exact same, except most of the Choice hotels I've stayed at have a microwave, and a desk lamp. DT has neither.” 6
- “Yea my wife and I stayed at a cambria, and its basically what you said, maybe a step down, and business otiented. But everything was fancy and we got upgraded to their best room, ritzy bar, good food, felt hoppin.” 6
- “I do love the ceilings and the decor. It's nice and cozy.” On camera132:25
- “While it was comfortable, it wasn't anything to rave about. There was a spacious nightstand on each side of the bed, and I really enjoyed the vibe from the wall lamps. They used brass and bamboo materials to create a unique tropical/modern atmosphere.” 14
- “Instead of a traditional work desk, the room had a round table with one computer chair. I understood the property's intention to have a non-traditional desk in a resort setting, but I questioned the chair since it felt out of place.” 14
- “However, there are mixed feelings about the decor: Some love the cozy feel of exposed wooden ceilings and muted hues, but others mention that the design, especially in the bathrooms, seemed outdated and not up to par with other nearby hotels.” 9
- “I enjoyed staying in a spacious room and appreciated having an actual cook-to-order breakfast in an outdoor setting.” 14
- “The bed was the room's centerpiece, featuring a faux leather headboard and an oddly positioned art piece above it. While it was comfortable, it wasn't anything to rave about.” 14
- “Half of the hotel faces out to the large pool area which can be so noisy from daylight until after ten. Those facing the pool, all, will never know quite. The design causes a huge echo and you can hear everything, every conversation, every child scream.” 6
- “My room was at the back of the hotel, and it was really quiet back here.” On camera134:28
