Papago Scottsdale by Reside, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
The hotel is beautiful, clean and close to attractions. I gave one star less because housekeeping did not clean the room for 2 of the 4 days I was there even after reminding multiple times. Front staff was very pleasant. Another drawback is that there is no breakfast available at the hotel. On site ...
