Arizona Grand Resort & Spa
We liked the short walk to the water park from our room. We enjoyed a hike around the property in the morning. I had a massage and a pedicure and both were great. The only drawback was house keeping only came 1 day out of our 4 night stay.

The staff is incredible. Rooms a little dated and clean. Great central location. Safe area. I liked the breakfast. Selection varied both days. They even had a free uber service to the airport. Wow.

Hotel Valley Ho
This is by far the best hotel in Scottsdale. So much character, kidney shaped pool, bath tubs in the middle of the room, abundance of chairs, solid restaurant, and an overall hetty vibe. Lucas at the front desk is The Man.
