“There's a casual energy about this place, amplified by its Scottsdale address and vibrant art scene proximity. It's a pet-friendly property, so expect a lively atmosphere around the two outdoor pools. I see a good-value stay for those wanting to be close to the action but not necessarily seeking high-end luxury.”
