We stayed here recently with friends. This is a hotel converted from an older apartment complex. While the fresh paint and new floors look good in pictures and give a welcome first impression, the experience falls short after that. The decor is cute and the retro theme is inviting but things are unconventional at the El Dorado in a not-so-good... More

We stayed here with our two children twice during our recent roadtrip and loved it. Don't book here if you're expecting the typical service and amenities of the brand name chains. El Dorado is a recently converted retro-style appartment complex and you can tell staff and management are still experimenting. Service was great and very personal. We loved having a... More

I have to start out by saying that I love the vintage vibe, the pool area and the apt style rooms. The atmosphere around the pool is terrific and the fire pit and heated pool are awesome and I enjoyed it very much. The part that is so TERRIBLE you can hardly imagine is the service and hotel staff. They... More

I stayed here with a group of friends over this past weekend and had an amazing time. It was not only affordable but the rooms were decorated super cute -- each with its own unique vibe. We stayed in two of the two-suite rooms and were surprised to find that both bedrooms had their own bathrooms and king size beds... More

I found this hotel to be quite a find, my girlfriend and I stayed here for a conference in March 2013. It was very affordable considering it was Phoenix's peak season (most hotels were $50-$75 more a night); the amenities were great and the staff was very accommodating. Initially, we arrived 4 hours before our check-in time and the staff... More

I agree with most of the other guests that there is a real effort on the part of the owners-staff to be extremely helpful, and the hotel offers a lot of amenities ie bikes, games and barbecues. With that said I think the hotel must be catering more to the party crowd . It is 9 pm (early by most... More

I recently stayed at the El Dorado Scottsdale for two nights on a business trip to Phoenix/Scottsdale and was quite pleased with the accommodation at the hotel. The property seems to have been renovated from an apartment complex and has a sort of "melrose place" vibe, with the guest rooms surrounding a common courtyard with pool, lounge and activities area....

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful time! The staff was outstanding and friendly and I would recommend it to anyone who loves mid century period properties. We rented bikes from them and pedaled around old town. The rooms were converted apartments so we had a kitchen from which we could plan some meals... More

I frequent Scottsdale on occasion and usually stay at Hotel Valley Ho or Fire Sky. Guess what? Not anymore! For the price, location, hip/fun design and friendliness of this place-you can't beat it! I loved everything about this place but the best part was the underlying sense of freedom you feel here. It's hard to explain. Maybe it has to... More
