No I apparently have a serial downvoter.
My Valley Ho experience was more like 20+ years ago...the place was decent, but a bit down at the heels, long before mid-century modern had become chic again. I was traveling with a coworker whose parents had been married/honeymooned in Scottsdale 30 years before, and she persuaded the hotel shuttle driver to take us to the resort where her parents were married. It (can't remember the name) had devolved into total kitsch, with a vaguely tropical theme, with a parrot on a stand in the lobby. Total weirdness, with ancient people hanging out, eager to chat with anyone who paid them a scrap of attention.

I suspected that might be the case, clicked on your post history, and you have a downvote on every single post.

You must be a hot chick.

I stayed at Valley Ho in summers of 2006 and 2007, not longer after they did their renovations. Awesome rooms with patios overlooking the pool. Even in July it was a great few days of relaxing and drinking.

I'm pretty sure I also went to a rooftop party in the condo tower to watch fireworks on July 4th 2008, nice views of the entire valley.

A very unique place that has some good memories for me. And a lot of history that I forgot about, it was one of the original Scottsdale resorts back in the day. And the restoration/remodel kept the same theme. It has a "Mad Men" vibe to it, but authentic not cheesy.

OP, if you are staying someplace like Phoenician or Kierland then stay put. If you are staying in a Holiday Inn Express or some chain deal you should look at staying at the Ho. Rooms look to be around $200/nt right now.

Antiquetiger, if you happen to read this thread, based on your trip to W TX/NM I think you would like this place.
