โCharles greeted us at the valet stand and thus began our awesome experience with the staff at Scottsdale Marriott at Mcdowell Mountain. He directed us to check-in and we were greeted by a smiling young lady named Morgan. We we're a little early but our room was ready and she quickly got us checked in. Room was spacious.

โThis is a nice hotel but don't expect it the Ritz Carlton. The room and bathroom were both very clean and the bed was very comfortable. It is located in a very popular area with shopping, dining and bars less than a mile away yet it is a bit secluded and quiet. We'd stay there again no question. โ

โEverything about our stay was amazing. Concierge was there any time we needed them, the food was awesome, property was beautiful and everything exceeded our expectations. If you stay, stay GOLD! Itโs worth it.โ

Room was pretty clean, some stains in the toilet bowl but nothing terrible. Bed was clean and very comfortable. Overall very pleased for the price. โ

Bed was dirty with hairs, pillow was stinky, some cookie debris on the table and chairs, sticky gross thing on a glass.
I enjoyed staying in many Holiday inn locations across the states for many years, but I think I will stay away from Holiday inn on my future trips.
So disappointed.โ
