To say that this hotel does not meet Mondrian standards is an understatement. To advertise it as same is highly misleading.

Yes, the website photos were well shot and flattering. Hyberbole abounds. Sadly, the property is not as it appears, and does not live up to its billing.

It is an older, two story, motel like property that has had some room updates -- mostly paint and furniture. North of $300 a night should provide better than an old, noisy window a/c unit, though. Bathrooms have some updated sinks and mirrors; showers are old and dingy. Rooms were, at best, weird. They covered all the hook-up amenties, including condoms next to the soap and shampoo, but the basics are sadly in need of attention.

The pool area was nice, in contrast. The effort must have gone into the public areas. Restaurant food was good, but $80 for breakfast for two (omelettes / coffee / juice) was absurd. Location was good, convenient to everything -- just know the hotel is located within / adjacent to a shopping mall.

There are dozens of lovely properties in Scottsdale; I've stayed at most four / five stars. Neither by price or amenity would I ever return to this. Sorry, but....

Caveat emptor.

This hotel has the best pool loungers around! Full size beds beside the pool---lots of pillows, shaded areas and/or full sun and some in the misters....there's no way you won't enjoy your pool/sun time here! The staff at this hotel is superb--friendly and always ready to help. I'm not really in the right demographic for this scene, but I still enjoyed it anyway. I'm over 55 years old and the general scene around the pool was young professionals with a higher percentage sporting major 'ink' but the scene was fun. (I later moved to the serenity pool for a quieter scene!) Our room was too nouveau for my taste---especially the fringe hanging from the counter top...but the beds were to die for---one of the most comfortable beds and linens I've had in years! If you go be sure to request a room NOT bordering on Indian School Rd---it is VERY noisy all night long!

We only lasted 20 minutes. When we checked in the staff was very nice, except there was a conflict with a special package we booked with their own reservation staff. That put aside, we went to our room. The room was a sad, small, dark room (it was about 3:30pm) that looked like a cheap motel room that they repainted and took a staple gun to add some sheer curtains to cover the ugly walls (complete with cottage cheese ceilings). The bathroom was also that of a motel, and for those prices, it was unacceptable. There were two beds and two chairs (one a plastic/acrylic chair)--not enough space to even sit down. The balcony was a tall, solid, cement wall with standing room only. When we complained, they happily moved us (they were VERY nice) to a suite. The suite was two crappy rooms (one with seating the other with a bed) with a door between them. Needless to say, we left and checked into another local hotel that was amazing (R.P.)

I was thouroughly impressed from the moment of arrival. Valet was immediate and attentive. Front desk staff was bright-eyed, informative, and fast check in. Had a room overlooking pool, which was a refreshing view, having escaped Southern California's smokey skies from the October fires. Service by the pool was excellent for food and drinks. We dined at Asia de Cuba for dinner one night and breakfast one morning, all excellent service and food. Red Bar and Sky Bar were easy choices to drink and hang with a cool mix of people. You can walk from the property out the front gates to old town Scottsdale and stroll the western boardwalk shops, location is right where you want to be in Scottsdale. Overall a great experience from this hotel and highly recommend it!
