SCOTTSDALE PARKVIEW HOTEL, Scottsdale

The property sits next to El Dorado Park, a large open space with a pond, walking paths, and a disc golf course. Arizona State University is 6 km away, and the Mayo Clinic Hospital is 31 km distant. A variety of dining options including Peter Piper Pizza, Denny's, and New China Gate are within 0.5 km. Free parking is available on site with no reservation needed, but the long, narrow layout means some vehicles park along the street. Parking lot lighting is limited and the area sees some transient activity, so securing valuables is wise.

Each room includes a private bathroom (tub/shower combo in double queen rooms), a flat-screen TV, microwave, and refrigerator. Some rooms are updated and comfortable, while others are described as small and dated, with a few noting cramped layouts, limited storage, or thin walls. The Deluxe King Whirlpool room has an in-room jetted tub. For more quiet, an upper-floor poolside room is recommended. There are no balconies, and no elevator is available. The property has two floors and exterior concrete stairs. Some rooms have reported issues such as strong cleaning chemical smells, difficulty with door locks, and hard-to-use air conditioning. The property is a converted motel with exterior corridors, not a mid-rise resort.

The hotel does not have a restaurant or provide breakfast. Room service is available from Hokkaido Sushi Asian Bistro, located adjacent to the north side of the lobby. Several restaurants including Denny's, Peter Piper Pizza, and New China Gate are within a 0.5 km walk. A minimarket is on-site for basic supplies. For those who prefer to self-cater, rooms include a microwave and refrigerator.

The outdoor pool is heated and open year-round from 8 am to 10 pm, with a fence around it, a shallow end, and provided pool/beach towels. The hot tub/jacuzzi is outdoors and free to use. Around the pool area there are sun loungers and chairs; however, the pool furniture has been noted as worn and umbrellas may not all function. Adjacent to El Dorado Park, the area offers hiking and disc golf within 3 km. Laundry facilities and a shared lounge/TV area are available.

WiFi is free throughout the property, though connectivity can be weak in rooms at the back of the property. Free on-site public parking is available without reservation. A 24-hour business centre is free to use. Daily housekeeping is provided but only upon request; the policy is not automatically communicated at check-in. Luggage storage is available free of charge. Laundry machines are on site at $1.50 per cycle. The fitness centre is small. The lobby area serves as a shared lounge. Pets are allowed on request, with a fee of $30.50 per night per dog (dogs under 27.2 kg). Service animals are accepted with no fee but a vest or card is required. The property includes accessible rooms with roll-in showers. Smoking is not permitted in rooms but there is a designated outdoor smoking area.
