The bed in the downstairs bedroom is as hard as a rock and I really couldn't sleep on it. It needs some updating, too. The owners/managers were very nice and quick to respond to my questions. The restaurant on the property has great food. ##### Yvonne Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-The-Westin-Kierland-Resort-And-Spa.h893067.Hotel-Information) > > [Arabella Hotel Sedona](https://www.expedia.ca/Sedona-Hotels-Arabella-Hotel-Sedona.h6626.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Scottsdale-At-Troon-North.h423622.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Phoenix](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Phoenix.h6802.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Pointe-Hilton-Tapatio-Cliffs-Resort.h2736.Hotel-Information) > > [W Scottsdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-W-Scottsdale.h1872501.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Valley Ho](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Hotel-Valley-Ho.h15298.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Scottsdale-Resort-And-Spa-At-Gainey-Ranch.h24193.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel St. Michael, BW Premier Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Prescott-Hotels-Hotel-St-Michael.h9701324.Hotel-Information) > > [Orange Tree Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Orange-Tree-Resort.h856832.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Sanctuary-On-Camelback-Mountain-Resort-And-Spa.h27646.Hotel-Information) > > [Canopy by Hilton Scottsdale Old Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Canopy-By-Hilton-Scottsdale-Old-Town.h54159544.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Sedona Summit](https://www.expedia.ca/Sedona-Hotels-Sedona-Summit-Resort-By-Diamond-Resorts.h795875.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Solaya](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-The-Saguaro-Scottsdale.h4603199.Hotel-Information) > > [Arizona Biltmore, LXR Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Arizona-Biltmore.h9796.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Kierland Villas, Scottsdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-The-Westin-Kierland-Villas.h1043911.Hotel-Information) > > [Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Boulders-Resort-Spa-Scottsdale.h10782.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Omni-Scottsdale-Resort-Spa-At-Montelucia.h2263.Hotel-Information) > > [HYATT house Scottsdale/Old Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-HYATT-House-ScottsdaleOld-Town.h200678.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wilde Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Sedona-Hotels-Sedona-Rouge-Resort-Spa.h1195453.Hotel-Information) > > [Sedona Pines Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sedona-Hotels-Sedona-Pines-Resort.h9373888.Hotel-Information) > > [Arizona Grand Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Arizona-Grand-Resort-Spa.h2774.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Hilton-Phoenix-Resort-At-The-Peak.h2729.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Canyon Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Marriotts-Canyon-Villas.h987426.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Phoenix Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Sheraton-Phoenix-Downtown.h2007681.Hotel-Information) > > [Legacy Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Legacy-Golf-Resort.h328584.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Phoenix-Desert-Ridge-Resort-Spa.h892733.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Scottsdale Links Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Scottsdale-Links-Resort-By-Diamond-Resorts.h665144.Hotel-Information) > > [Amara Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Sedona-Hotels-Amara-Resort-And-Spa.h974861.Hotel-Information)
