Best Paradise Valley Hotels

The surrounding environment is wonderful. There is no problem with the meal. Friendly staff. The interior of the room was beautiful and harmonious.

BEEARE OF BED BUGS here. Check the beds have been changed properly and inspect before sleeping here. I’m devastated to leave this type of review since the location of this resort was gorgeous. The management on the other hand is leaving me no choice or relief from being chewed up by bedbugs from my stay there. I was there for a work conference. Landed and checked in Thursday, checked out Sunday. After being in full conference mode, Sunday I woke up in bed super itchy. My first thought was: mosquitoes must have enjoyed me last night since I walked the hotel grounds after exhibiting hours. Since I was checking out that day, I packed up and didn’t think anything of it. Monday I woke up at home with a trail of bites all over my back, stomach, chest, neck, and scalp. I looked up what this could be and all signs pointed to bed bugs bites. When contacting the hotel to notify them, they immediately said “why didn’t I let them know when I was still on the grounds? We’ll send someone out to inspect the room.” Almost a week later I receive an update. “No bed bugs found in the room.” I’ve requested the report and crickets, hence my review. Good luck staying here and check your beds!

We were here for a business meeting. Our room was nice, clean and had everything that we needed. The gardens are well kept and the area is easily walkable. The room had a fridge, safe and microwave. The bed was comfy and there was a nice leather chair and ottoman to use. My Only complaint would be that there was trash sitting in front of our room when we arrived (5:00 pm) and was still there until afternoon the next day. Each day there were sugar and creamer packets and coffee cup lids on the grounds in many places throughout the resort. We had a few receptions and the staff could not have been any more attentive. They did an amazing job serving drinks and food. They were on top of the cleanup also. Job well done. We did have a pre-order luncheon one day also. That meal did not seem as well executed. It took over 45 minutes to be served our meals. The resort has some restaurants across the street that were walkable. The mall and Old Town Scottsdale are nearby also.

Surprised at how good our stay was. Sometimes trip advisor 5 star recommended hotels are good for the price -we’ve seen courtyard and Hampton inns that are 5 stars. This was a very good hotel at any price point. We had a clean modern beautiful room with garden patio. We ate at both restaurants and both we great. The bar was hopping, the golf course full, pools had cabanas and loads of seating. The fitness center offers multiple free classes each day. The hotel is super dog friendly- my dog got a doggie bed, bowls, treats and poop bags as a welcome amenity. The reception staff and valets were efficient and courteous. The hotel’s guests were nicely dressed and respectful. Loved it, sorry to leave.

The resort was beautiful. Several pools and activities spread throughout the resort. The food at the restaurant was very good. We stayed in a suite with several friends and it was breathtaking. The service was great and the location was perfect just minutes from OldTowne Scottsdale. I would recommend a trip to any group of friends, family, or couple to visit.

I recently stayed in one of the Villas and checked out on April 29. We were three friends traveling together, celebrating my birthday, I was very disappointed. The hotel was very understaffed. I had a few bad experiences with one employee, whose name was Christina. The first time, my friends and I ordered lunch at the pool bar. We were given a number that clipped onto the table. The number was not facing out directly, but on a slight angle. Christina came up to us with a plate of food, that was not ours, and in a nasty tone said, ”How can I see the number if it's not facing me”. After we finished lunch, my two friends went to the bar to settle the bill. They were standing there waiting to pay the bill and Christina was just ignoring them. Then my friend, Larisa, said something like “can I pay?” and Christina just kind of looked at her and rolled her eyes and said you should’ve said what you wanted. Then Larisa asked her why she had an attitude, and Christina got very defensive and said, ”I do not have an attitude, you have an attitude.” And Larisa reminded her of what happened at the table with the number and that you should never argue with customers, but she was still very defensive. And then after a while, just said she was sick. When we were at the pool, we noticed that all of the cabanas were unoccupied. We called the number that was on a chain and asked what the cost was. We were told by Margaret that it was $200.00. We offered $100, and Margaret said ”We would never accept that amount.” The next time we had a run in with Christina was while my friend and I were waiting at the Starbucks counter for at least 10 minutes. Christina walked past us several times and not once asked if we could be helped. I finally asked if we could place an order, and she responded in a very nasty tone, ”You have to wait in line.” We then stood in line and placed our order. I ordered a Grande Americano. She made a tall Americano. I told her the order was wrong, and she proceeded to argue with me ”That is what you ordered”. She changed the coffee to a Grande, and we sat at a high-top table to eat. While sitting at the table, we noticed that the food and beverage manager passed us, so we stopped him to tell him of our experience. Jeff told us that Christina was on our way out, and at her last review she was disciplined due to her attitude. I also mentioned to Jeff that we offered $100 for a cabana rental and Margaret said no. He told us he would buy a round of drinks at the pool bar and offered us a cabana on Sunday. When we went to speak to Jeff on Sunday to get a cabana, he first told us to take any one. Then he said ”No, they are sold, take number 4”. Well Jeff lied to us. No other cabana was occupied that day. Several employees did stand out though with exceptional service. Will who worked at the front desk. Justin at the pool bar; always polite and with a smile on his face, no matter how crappy his

10/10- I loved everything about this hotel. Redone midcentury that has amazing staff, daily maid servie and a banger of a pool. The location was perfect for shopping, hiking and restuarants. Great touches such as fruit water in the lobby, replensihed water your room daily, in room coffee for those who need a coffee before venturing out. Did not end up eating but used my hotel credit on a couple of poolside drinks- they hit the spot. This is my go to for a mini trip to Phoenix.

This is my second time at this Hotel with my family. The staff provided excellent service and were very courteous upon arrival and with any questions I had. The room was clean and large. It has been updated nicely with granite and tiled shower, and nice furnishings. As with most Embassy Suites, there is a sitting tv area with fridge, sink, microwave, and small dining table. I had a pool and mountain view, which was nice. I didn't use the pool, but families appeared to enjoy it. There's really nice sectional seating with fire pits next to the pool, which would be great when it gets cooler. I enjoyed the evening reception which was better than the 1st time. Due to covid restrictions being lifted, they provided light snacks, such as cheeses, veggies, chips, and a few dips. There is a two drink limit per person, and it's free. The morning breakfast is always a nice perk and very good. I gave this hotel four stars only because it is an older hotel, but it's still very charming. I definitely will be back again.
