My room was located \"On the street\" not beside the street! When I opened the door of my room I could touch cars! I turned the air conditioner on during the night to prevent street noises, but the noise of air conditioner was worse! Overall, I couldn't sleep whole night!

If you don’t ask them to clean your room they won’t clean it
I was not told I had to ask
I asked for towels and toilet paper since they didn’t clean the room
I asked a couple of times and no towels or toilet paper were brought to the room
I had to ask again at night when I was ready to take a shower
Low class place

Stayed here during Arizona Bike Week and it worked out well for what I needed.

Location: Conveniently located right on Scottsdale Road, which made it easy to get around and ride to different spots.

Area: The surrounding area is a bit older. Not rundown, but there were a few sketchy folks around at times — nothing that caused issues, just something to be aware of.

Room: No frills, but honestly solid. Clean sheets, comfortable bed, and the shower and sink were clean, which is what matters most.

Value: Great price if you just need a place to crash for the night. I wasn’t looking for luxury, just a clean spot to sleep, and it delivered.

Staff was very polite and accommodating. AC kept the room cool. It was very obvious that this property was old and repair work was subpar, except nice wood floors. Bathroom light flickered and the shower squealed, but over all the property was adequate. Didn't feel like the best area but we had no issues and located near many attractions

I feel that for the price it could’ve been much better, however the staff was nice for the most part. I got the vibe that they didn’t wanna be there. The property definitely didn’t make me feel safe and the room was not in the most optimal condition my sheets were stained and there was previous blood stains as well in the bathroom the shower head wasn’t looking soo right and I could see mold in the shower walls/crack of it
Other then that it was ok could’ve been better I would only come stay for one night anymore and ur kinda just pushing it

I had to walk across the parking lot and have office staff reprogram my room entry card each night of my stay in the same room as the entry card I was given initially wouldnt grant me access to my room the following nights. The entry card also would not unlock the gate to the swimming pool. No towels, tp, or anything else was replenihed by housekeeping on any of my 3 day stay. The room should have been cheaper for the cheap experience I purchased.

While the staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the room had been cleaned, the property was in really rough shape. There was an old water leak in the ceiling just above the bed (2’ sq) that was poorly patched, the sheets and bed were reminiscent of 1973, the tops of the side table were lifted and warped, and the shower area showed mold that was covered by caulking. I had to stay near my health clinic during spring training in Scottsdale and hotels I usually stay at were booked or outrageously priced so my options were limited. Despite the nice staff I will never stay at this property again.

Check in is after 3pm. However when i got there at 4pm the front desk girl said that they're would be a 25m wait unit my room was ready...r u serious?

Yes she replies, there were short staffed. But i saw 4 cleaning ladies doing rooms. So how could they be short staffed considering they had all day to clear and clean rooms.

I asked if any other rooms were available and she replied i'd have to charge you extra...what?

No, so i waited when i came back 25m later. I still had 2 wait anther 10m.

The front desk girl was rude and unaccomdating to other guest about a late check out since she too had to wait 25m as well.

After that was settled the evening was fine.

Staff was not friendly at late check in, 10 pm. The floor in the room was very dirty. There were visible areas that were possibly mopped but it did not seem recent. The floor was only possibly mopped in the walk way. It was easy to see where the floor had not been cleaned in quite some time. We did not take off our shoes except to sleep. The furniture was visibly dirty on the lower portions. The bathroom floor was water logged and there was mold in the corner. On check out the staff seemed surprised that the floor was dirty. We have stayed in a lot of hotels and we understand about some issues, but the floor was nowhere clean enough for family to stay in.

it was more like 2.5 stars (between average and poor). It's less than average, but it was just a place to sleep and shower for us. No shampoo or conditioner in the shower, bring your own. Also, people were smoking outside our door so often that our room smelled of smoke, they should make a smoking area near the pool in the parking lot. Uncomfortable beds too, but we did not expect much.

Pretty sketchy hotel. Doors looked like they had been opened by the police a few times then patched back up. The card readers barely worked. Felt a bit like there were drug deals going on. Rooms were dingy at best. I was concerned about leaving camera, etc. in my room. Not a very pleasant stay.

I was thinking maybe it was just the nighttime lady that was rude but now it was the daytime lady as well. The nighttime lady acted like it was my fault and I should’ve known to tell them I had a vehicle so I could get a parking permit, it was not offered at all. I had to go down there and get it with a baby at 1 AM or I could’ve risk being towed that was not a concern. How do I not prepaid in full? I would’ve immediately left. The area is gross high crime lots of drug activity. The hotel itself. I think the last time it was cleaned was about 1984. Everything was disgusting And explicitly said no smoking within 20 feet there was smoking everywhere you could not escape it it was a cigarette smell and other smoke. Lots of homeless people on site camped out overall zero stars I felt very inane and worried about my personal property. This hotel should be condemned. You don’t expect much from a motel six but you expect to be greeted properly to be safe and clean. If you’re a normal person just looking for a reasonable place to stay and you value safety and cleanliness. I would not stay here if you have zero other options it might be considerable but for an extra $20 I would’ve rather stayed anywhere else again if I had not paid in full, I would’ve left promptly it was that bad
