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.

I must admit, I chose this hotel based on two factors... One was the price... I paid $53/night which was very good given the location and the cost of other "Scottsdale" hotels. The second was that this hotel is located right next door to one of my favorite Mexican food places.. Carlos O'Briens. While staying at this hotel I also visited the "Tilted Kilt" pub right next door.... also a great place... The hotel itself was very basic, but very, very clean and the people were very nice. I have stayed at many hotels in the area (The Phoenician, Marriott McDowell Mountain, Copperwynd, etc.) and although other hotels have more amenities (spas, golf courses, fine dining, etc.) I have decided that the Sleep Inn will become my hotel of choice when staying in Scottsdale. Give it a try, I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

As a previous poster stated, at $150+/night, this hotel is a disappointment. It does everything a budget hotel should do: a clean, fairly comfortable room, with adequate front-desk service, a minimal continental breakfast, convenient parking, maid service, etc. But if the hotel is going to charge a price you'd expect from a middle of the road business hotel, then look elsewhere.
High-speed internet is available for free, but as they say you get what you pay for. It was hit or miss at best.
Unfortunately, the combination of excessive taxes on visitors to finance the Cardinals' new stadium and a busy high season doesn't leave visitors with many affordable options in North Scottsdale this year. If this hotel is going to continue to charge in the $150-range per night, however, travelers would be advised to make a longer drive to find better value.

At $59-$89 this place would be OK, but at $152 it is not.

Our small, clean room had beds so hard that we were unable to get back to sleep once awakened. When I reported this to the desk clerk at 7:00 a.m. he told me that I was the first customer to make this claim.

When I checked out after the first night of our projected three-night stay, I spoke with the manager. She apologized for our sleepless night and offered to move us to a room with comfortable beds. I told her it was too late and asked to take advantage of the offer of a free stay for not being 100% satisfied.

The next day I realized that I was so tired after a night at Sleep Inn that I had forgotten to take essential medications.

We moved to Homewood Suites, where we were extremely comfortable in every way.
