I found the location to be fantastic, very close to tons of shoping, eating, and tourist type things. The hotel is right on the corner of Bell Road and Scottsdale Road. Two busy streets (watch out drivers not familiar with the area, everyone drives fast and likes their horn. They are very quick to honk and are extremely impatcient. So if you are visiting for the first time, make sure you have a general idea of where you are going and explore a little when it isn't so busy) I did make my reservations about 2 months in advance and also made arrangements to check in 4 hours early which seemed to be no problem. The room was clean. I did request a 3rd floor room so I could see the hills which were beautiful. The only complaint that I may have is that there isn't much of a selection for those who are eating healthy on their breakfast menu. Besides, the waffles and muffins, there was just some fruit and two cereals for me to choose from. Grocery stores are just down the street on Bell road. There was also a problem with my phone in my room as I could not receive incoming calls. For the price and location, this was a great and quiet place to stay.
