This hotel is your average run-of-the-mill Garden Inn and is what you expect from the HGI properties. Nice big rooms, clean, large breakfast bar, free business center, small indoor heated pool and nothing more. The furnishings and bedding could use some updating, but I've always found the hotel to be very clean and comfortable.
The two room suites are especially spacious. One room has a workspace area with a large desk and chair, small fold-out sofa and easy chair, coffee table, and a TV armoire. All of the rooms have views of neighboring office parks with the gorgeous Arizona mountains in the background.
The location is great! You can walk to Old Town Scottsdale. Parking is ample and free via an underground garage (perfect during rainy season, your car stays dry and the hail won't damage it).
Also, all rooms have complimentary high speed internet access and you don't have to pay extra for it. That is a huge bonus! The hotel also has as 24 hour pantry in the lobby where you can grab snacks, drinks and toiletries in case you forgot something.
I stay here almost every time I visit Scottsdale and I have yet to be disappointed. This is a great hotel for single female travelers too; it is very safe and comfortable and the staff is friendly and accommodating.
