"The mid century modern vibe is so awesome. The rooms were clean and hip with great toiletries. The pool vibe was fun and refreshing. We loved the Valley Ho!"
Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale, Curio Collection by Hilton
2/10 Terrible
"Incredibly disappointing service and severe pest issues — Will not return
We chose The Boulders expecting a luxury experience, but unfortunately, the service and room quality fell completely short. Days before our arrival, I emailed the property to request an early check-in (offering to pay extra if needed) but never received a response.
When we arrived early, we were told our room wasn't ready. We spent the next several hours checking in periodically—waiting at the lounge, then heading to the golf course restaurant for lunch—only to be repeatedly turned away. We weren't finally given our room until 4:00 PM.
The real breakdown happened after we returned from dinner. We found a spider inside one of our towels, followed by more spiders on the furniture and sink, and bugs in the bed itself. In total, we had to kill 8 spiders, a moth, and another bug. When I called the front desk to request a room change due to the infestation, I was flatly told they couldn't accommodate us.
For the price point and reputation of this resort, the lack of communication, poor customer service, and unhygienic room conditions are unacceptable. We will not be coming back."
"Checked in, got to my rm open the door to find large both dead and alive cockroaches all over the dresser in the shower. Went to office to get another rm, after he checked about 3 arms found a sufficient one, this used to be a great property, it appears someone purchased the property and can't afford to maintain it. I won't be back, I've stayed at this property half a dozen times in the past and always enjoyed it, now it's really declined."
"I love the location of this property in downtown Scottsdale. It’s easily walkable to shopping and dining. I love the pool and the breakfast buffet was plentiful. I highly recommend having that to your room price. I stayed here several years ago and at that time was underwhelmed but this time I thought it was a very nice hotel, very clean, nice comfortable bed, pillow sheets, etc. we’re only there for one night but will definitely come again when we need a staycation away from the kids.
The staff was super nice and friendly as well. The check-in process was quick and easy and personable and they gave us free water bottles which you need in Arizona. Not that you can’t drink the water because of course you can drink the water anywhere but the chef at the buffet was very helpful and encouraging us to order extra items that weren’t already out. He would make things fresh for us. We sat and visited and ate breakfast for a good long while. Super nice and very affordable hotel."
