overall a clean, decent hotel, in a quiet area, just 4 long block walk away from Scottsdale and the ball park where the Giants play spring training games. A nice museum near by hotel and nice walk, families out walking about near town. The arts district, ballpark, and restaurants are close attractions. The area around the hotel can be rather quiet and absent of people walking around. The hotel is clean but the restroom basin old and needs updating, clean, no smells, bed and linens are clean. Noticed 1-2 vagrants in nearby parking lot, otherwise, no drug dealing, or homeless spotted. If traveling solo, I'm comfortable here and walking around the area in the daytime, less sure in the evening, but if you stay or head to the downtown Scottsdale area, lots of night life, with bars and restaurants.
