This was an affordable stay for an appointment at the Mayo Clinic Hospital at a reasonable distance.

This is the 3rd time staying here and it’s very cost effective near some great restaurants and shopping
Pros:

Older property but very clean, staff very friendly, and pet friendly

Cons:

The bathroom fan is connected to the light switch which if you need the light on, that fan is continuously on and it’s loud.

Ok, needs updates.Great location.
Pros:

The staff was welcoming and helpful,rooms were clean and the bed comfortable. The big annoyance is the ancient fan in the bathroom that sounds like the space shuttle taking off every time the light is turned on. The rooms and certainly the murky green pool could use some updating. Volenti restaurant across the street is very good.

Another wonderful stay!!
Pros:

Once again we had an amazing time last night when we stayed! The rooms are spacious with great amenities including the wonderful
"citrus" scented bathroom products! The pod coffee makers are a huge plus along with mini fridge and microwave (an item some fancy hotels don't provide!)

The breakfast was ample & tastya with such a large variety of hot and cold items to choose from. This morning it was eggs, ham, sausage and even French toast!! Yummy 😋

There was an issue with the pool (looking quite green) needing some extra shock or chlorine, buy maintenance was outside in the evening trying to get it fixed. Howevee, this is a very common occoruance in the hot changing temperatures between Spring & Summer months!

And again, our night staff, KJ and Roxy we very accommodating!! As Best Western reward members we received 2 bottles of ice cold water and a snack to pick from for our room. And our requests of extra creamer & coffee pods were immediately provided! Your night staff is the best & most friendly of most places we've had to stay recently...which keeps us returning for the 4th time in a row now!

We look forward to seeing you again next time as well!

Great stay in Scottsdale
Pros:

We chose this hotel because it’s just a couple of miles from my in-laws, and it worked well for our needs. The property is definitely a bit dated, but it’s clear that it’s well cared for—everything was clean and properly maintained.

We stayed in a one-bedroom king suite, which felt very spacious for the three of us (and would comfortably fit four). The bedroom included a chair, which was a nice touch so we didn’t have to sit on the bed. The bed itself was very comfortable, and the dresser easily accommodated all our clothes for a five-night stay.

The living room had a two-seater sofa bed (we didn’t use it as a bed, but it was comfortable for sitting), along with a large work desk and chair that made it easy to get work done. There’s also a mini fridge, microwave, and plenty of shelf space for storing food, though you can’t cook in the room.

The bathroom is on the smaller side, and it would have been more functional if the toilet and tub were separate. The toilet is positioned very close to the counter, which makes the layout a bit tight.

The pool is small but looks nice. We didn’t use it since it was too hot in May, but the interior-facing rooms overlook a courtyard with the pool and palm trees, which gives it a pleasant, almost resort-like feel. There’s also plenty of free parking, which is a big plus.

Breakfast was excellent by hotel standards. We really appreciated the variety and the fact that the hot options changed daily—items included sausage, bacon, eggs, French toast, corned beef hash, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, along with boiled eggs, cereals, breads, bagels, muffins, juices, coffee, fruit, and more.

In terms of location, Phoenix is quite spread out, but this hotel is conveniently located near Scottsdale Airport, the golf course that hosts the Waste Management Open, and the Mayo Clinic. There are also plenty of shopping and dining options nearby. As with most U.S. cities, having a rental car makes getting around much easier.

Cons:

The bathroom is on the smaller side, and it would have been more functional if the toilet and tub were separate. The toilet is positioned very close to the counter, which makes the layout a bit tight.

Housekeeping is on request only and had to be requested the day before.

Pros:

We liked the breakfast and there was a very nice older male employee who provided us excellent customer service in the breakfast area. I did not get his name but he made it a much better experience. We will be staying there again!

Dated hotel with good staff
Pros:

Check in was easy and staff was great. Rooms are adequate but quite dated. Wifi and TV’s worked well. Parking was close to room,

Cons:

Room size was small. No extra blanket provided. A/C was hard to regulate, TVs were small. Breakfast was average for a Best Western…which means not good.
