Howard Johnson Scottsdale Old Town

After staying 3 weeks and having one more (originally booked online) left they decided to raise my rate by $10 a day. I had arranged to stay for 30 days and secured the price the 2nd day I was there with Kristy, the manager. Impossible to get ice bags or anything else for that matter from the guy at night.. Dan. He doesn't know where the phone books are and doesn't really care about people making loud noises on weekends. He says it's typical. He's asleep most of the time with the office locked until 5 or 6 am. No security whatsoever, even the video surveillance doesn't work which I found out too late. I asked for clean sheets and received dirty ones as the worker laughed at me.. 3 times! This place is definitely within budget but there is a reason that is for sure. Not recommended.. there is not enough time in the day to type all of the problems at this MOTEL.

Staff could not provide me a receipt because I booked online

When I checked in the lady up front was great! Unfortunately the lady that helped check me out was another story. Called to leave a day early and the on staff management was complaining about my stay and being extremely rude. Made very rude personal comments, won't be coming back anytime soon.

The room is very simple. The location adds value to the room. Not bad for the price.

My boyfriend and I stayed here briefly for our friend's birthday celebration. Aside from not being able to get into our room right away when we checked in, it was an overall good experience.

This Hotel is located in the heart of Downtown Scottsdale so you can walk to dinner, shopping and some of the museums. Great place for the price and nothing compares to this hotel as far as location and price.

Very good value, not noisy in spite of location and biker convention happening that weekend.

I gave this HoJo 3 stars: 1 for cleanliness, 1 for a comfortable bed, and 1 for great value in a good location. However, be warned that every room faces the pool, and if there is a party going on, you WILL NOT sleep. We had the bad fortune to book on the night of a big, loud party with live music. Thankfully, the music shut down shortly after 10pm, but you know how some loud guests can linger. Ear plugs and a blanket over my head eventually worked.

Centrally located near all amenities. Great hotel for the money. Staff was nice, very curteous.

Bed comfy. The disappointing part that we didn't realize that this place is actually a motel. Pics on website don't show this. Room was also VERY dark even with all lights on.
