Scottsdale hotels

great location, quick access to restaurants and shopping

The hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was phenomenal (especially Andrea at the front desk and the bartender in the evenings (never got his name)). They were very accommodating - allowed us to use the resort before the room was ready (we landed at 8am) and let us stay all day after check-out to play tennis and relax by the pool. The pool was fantastic - salt water and 80 degrees. The tennis courts were in decent shape and free to use (we brought our own racquets). The room was great - much larger than expected and had a small kitchen w/ fridge to keep supplies. The only complaint was the mattress was too firm for my liking. We will be back and look forward to staying here again.

Helped me find area dry cleaning stores. Nice breakfast and bright up to date lobby area

Excellent restaurant, and they give you a 2-for-1 margarita coupon when you check in. Rooms are clean and modern, with fun retro touches like original vintage Arizona Highways magazines. Excellent central location for all the Spring Training facilities if you're a baseball fan, and located right in the middle of the kitschy Old Town area.

Fantastic resort - no restaurants within the resort, but many nearby. We would definitely return.

Though we live in Arizona (Flagstaff), we hadn't been in Phoenix for many years. We drove down with two bicycles and spent three days bicycling the Canal Trail (down to the Old Town River Walk area) and another green strip trail that extends all the way down to Tempe. We ate a pleasant lunch one late afternoon at Crust - Home of the Rustica at the strip-mall corner of Hayden and Indian Bend (near Albertsons); another lunch at PF Chang's off Indian School Rd (River Walk area); a dinner at the Hotel Valley Ho (ZuZu Lounge) on Main Street, Old Scottsdale... and, our final night, we were so tired we just got take-out food from Goldman's Deli near the corner of Hayden and Indian Bend (where we generally unloaded our bicycles to start each day's venture). We liked them all - even Goldman's Deli was excellent for our purposes. We also had a drink at Zinc's on the Kierland Plaza - another spot to recommend. We did not take advantage of the Athletic Center, though it's quite extensive.

The outside of the hotel is very clean and the lobby is modern and chic. The hotel staff are very professional; I happened to be in the lobby while the front desk attendant was on the phone with a rude customer complaining about the deposit that is required at the beginning of stay and is refunded upon checkout (in 5-10 business days, which is on the form you sign when you check in)...anyway the front desk attendant was courteous and polite constantly for a 30 minute phone conversation..I was impressed with her patience. Our thermostat shut off twice during the middle of the day and both times the front desk alerted maintenance immediately and it was fixed within minutes. The pool and spa are spacious and clean; there's plenty of seating and lounging areas. The fountain by the pool is relaxing and there was a myriad of birds that would stop by from the adjacent park. The room we stayed in was the king with the jet tub. The room was very clean and smelled great. I opted for the jet tub because I've never had one anywhere I've stayed. It was a good choice. The bath amenities smelled great and seemed of good quality. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were soft. There were both firm and softer pillows, 4 in all, the perfect amount. The TV was also a good size and I liked that there was HBO included, we watch a lot of that at home. Overall it was the best place we've stayed at in Phoenix, and one of the best anywhere. I really enjoyed our stay.

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean hotel. Great price.

Ran across FireSky by accident when searching for a place to stay over an extended weekend. Could not have been more please with my choice. Great atmosphere, great location and great facilities all at a very reasonable price for the value. Room was great the bed very comfortable. Enjoyed sitting around the fire at night sipping a glass of wine given the cool temperatures of January when we stayed. Will definitely stay here again when given the opportunity.
