You're spoiled for sightseeing choice when in Alhambra. Grand Canyon University is a good place to start here, but there are many other worthwhile attractions to experience. Chase Field, Footprint Center, and Arizona State Capitol are near the modern university and will top off your day nicely.

Booked our villa very last minute, staff was extremely friendly and punctual allowing us an early check-in. Villa had all we needed and more. Pool area was neatly maintained and was enjoyable for a day of sun. Thanks, Scottsdale IHG!

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
Overall it was a nice resort. The room was loud though. We got a room that backed a service road and the trucks would drive thru or go in reverse with a beeping sound. In the morning housekeeping was loud in the hallway. The grounds were neat and clean. The pools were nice but kind of misleading. I asked about pool hours and was told they are 24/7. While the pools are open the slides aren’t.

Such a beautiful resort!!! Everything from the room that we had to the beautiful pools and the bar outside to the restaurant and bar that the resort has on site not forgetting the convince of Starbucks is just amazing! The beautiful landscape just made everything seem like you’re at a tropical oasis. The staff and management is on point and available to you for anything needed. The resort is also walking distance to downtown Scottsdale and all the shopping which is ideal! Will definitely be coming back again!!!

Every service member we encountered was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. One thing to note is the concrete walk ways make maid-cart rolling and luggage (on wheels) rolling by or above rather annoying at 8am or earlier when thumping footsteps above you had kept you awake till 2am. The staff made up for that annoyance with their "kill 'em with kindness" spirit. They have customer service nailed! Beautiful pool and tasty offerings at the Grill, too!
