Aiden by Best Western Scottsdale North
The hotel is clean and well maintained. Although breakfast is served, we did not partake as we had plans with family. The breakfast is not free, it is around $10.00. The hotel was quiet and is a short distance from the 101 freeway. We did not hear any freeway noise.

Rooms are clean. Staff is friendly. Parking is great. The only issue we had was that we had to throw our own trash in the dumpster, but the dumpster hasn’t been picked up in weeks.
