Doubletree Paradise Valley Resort Resort - Page 2

The close proximity to the spring training baseball fields makes this a fan friendly location. The Saint Patrick's Day celebration was a hoot!

This hotel made me feel secure: The security gate surrounding the property helped make the grounds feel safer.

The concierge service was excellent.

This hotel has a great location right in Scottsdale and is close to great restaurants, shops, etc. However, I wouldn't call it a true "resort." It is a decent property but is not what you would expect a true resort to be. The hotel is set up "old style" where you park your car outside the rooms, it looks like an old renovated roadside motel.

The room itself was well appointed and extremely comfortable with plush-top mattress and super soft sheets. This was a great hotel for business travelers and I found the work space and desk to be large and comfortable. Note that you do have to pay $15 per day for internet access.

The hotel grounds are lush and tropical with lots of palm trees, grass and fountains. It is nice to take a stroll around outside during the daylight hours. I found the grounds to be lovely in the daytime, but dark and a bit scary at night. As a female traveler, I would not have felt comfortable staying alone at this hotel. There are too many dark nooks and crannies around the property (the stairwells are dimly lit and the rooms are "hidden" in numerous dark, outdoor corridors) and it was just a little scary.

The major downside to this Doubletree is that it hosts many conferences, weddings and special events, so self parking can be a huge problem. The last two times we were guests at this hotel, we had to park on the curbs to get to our room. I think the hotel should have a separate lot or reserved spaces for paying guests. If you have a car, you have to circle the lot and hope to get lucky enough to get a spot. And if you do, it will most likely be quite a hike back to your room.

The room was not vacuumed properly. The porch was not clean and there were food trays left all over.

The hotel was great and very large. It has enjoyable room. The summer price was very reasonable.

This hotel made me feel sophisticated: My room had it’s own patio and rock garden with a hedge separating it from the rest of the resort. There was a Senora Cactus garden in the front courtyard as well.

The staff was amazing. They really went beyond in every situation. There was down bedding in the suite and I am allergic to down. I called housekeeping and in less than five minutes, I had a newly made allergy free bed. The staff truly was exceptional.

This hotel made me feel welcome: I was provided with freshly baked warm cookies upon arrival. The staff was very hospitable.

The location was convenient. The hotel design was very attractive. My room was very comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone.

We were both very impressed with the resort and look forward to staying there again. There was nothing I can think of which I did not like. The employees were top-notch. Some of the best I have ever encountered and I used to travel a lot.

This hotel made me feel respected: The staff was very courteous. When asked questions, they offered plenty of information in the answers. When an employee walked by me while I was carrying two large bags he offered me help and actually did help when I said yes.

It was the nicest resort I had ever stayed. It was very nice to all the athletes.

I liked the cookies. I did not like the crying child next door and the lack of available parking spaces.

I found my stay pleasant and comfortable. I had no issues with any service. My overall impression was that it was quite clean and well run.

The location was not close to anything (stores) within walking distance. I did not get the room I asked for (type). The room was too far from the meeting rooms.

This is a great hotel. It's very clean, has excellent grounds keeping, and is centrally located.

This hotel made me feel relaxed: The atmosphere was peaceful.

It was a very large conference and they handled it very well. They had very friendly and helpful employees.

The scenery was lovely. I was expecting it to be in a remote location but it was right on the main road. It did not feel like it though. We had a balcony and that was really nice, it looked out over the courtyard.

The room was poorly lit. The pillows were all of one type and did not meet my needs. The staff appeared more courteous to males than females.

The cookies at check in were a nice touch.

This hotel is in a good location and is a great value. It has very nice grounds and very comfortable rooms.

I had an enjoyable time. The room was clean as well as the meeting areas and pool.

This hotel is in a great location, and provides good comfort and service for the most part. But there was a problem with the phone and with getting room service for breakfast one morning. I gave the order for room service but it never showed up.
