    When I say I love this place! I LOVE THIS PLACE!! It's such a chill vibe! I stayed 2 nights and had a blast! The room was spacious and clean. I really enjoyed having the record player and the fact that I got to pick 3 records to listen to. The retro feel in the room was right up my alley! The bed was huge and so comfortable! Paul at Lylo is amazing!! It's so lush all around the property that you don't even realize you're in Phoenix! Cartel is connected to the property and it didn't disappoint! Olivia had a great playing each time I went in for coffee!

    We came for a staycation for New Year's Eve. We have come for NYE party last year and have come for a pool day before so we decided to stay. Room: the room wss spacious and had fun decorations and design. It had a great size balcony but only one chair. The bed was comfortable. There was a nice refrigerator that had 2 waters in it. It was quite large. The closet had two robes which is a nice touch. The vanity had drawers and had a steamer and hairdryer. There was no iron or ironing board. The bathroom size and shower size are great. There is a frosted window in the shower which wss fun, but if you turn on your bathroom light at night, you wake the other guest. There was a cool Bluetooth retro looking speaker and nice size TV, though we didn't turn it on. The comforter and bed sheets needed updated. They seemed clean but had holes in them. The room was very dusty. It didn't appear it had been cleaned for a while. There is no phone in the room but you can text the front desk. We did not try the WIFI. Paint was peeling off wall and ceiling and could use a fresh painting. Service: there was a $30 amenity fee per night. This seemed quite steep. At check-in no one told us about the daily free drink during happy hour advertised on their website(nor did the bartenders when we showed our room key and asked about it). No one mentioned the daily$15 food and beverage credit for the room. They advertise free Popsicles but when we checked in they said they did not have any but offered for us to buy ice cream. We asked about checkout time because we were not told. Apparently you can get a record player and records for your room but we only found that out from another guest. Service at the bar during the party at Don Woods was poor. Staff was not friendly, and they were more concerned with hanging out with each other than helping guests. The woman checking us in for the party was pleasant. Last year's part was great with servers passing food, champagne toast, and taking drink orders.this year we had food passed one or two times, no one taking drink orders outside and had to go inside to get champagne for the midnight toast. They were supposed to be taking Polaroid pics and that didn't happen and when asked, we were told someone should come around later to take pictures. Last year they had an amazing photo booth. The DJ this year was terrible and never looked up to get a read of people were enjoying the music. Though, he did dance by himself. Food: food at the party that we get was okay. The drinks we were able to order were good. I would come back for summer pool days but probably not to stay unless rooms were cleaned and had new bedding.

    Everything was great... except for our room. We ate chicken and pastor tacos with a DoleWhipped cocktail while lounging at LyloSwim Club. Nice atmosphere and great music playing. Quick and friendly service. At the Say When Rooftop Bar, we enjoy the complementary cocktail. Not sure what it was but it was delicious with passion fruit and vodka. The service was not so good. Our food ended up at another table and vice versa. When we got the Mini Pizzas, they were very tasty and a great little snack between lunch and dinner. At the Cartel Roasting Co. we had two different drinks. Hubby enjoyed his cold brew and my CCL as I didn't like it. He did like it a lot tho. He loved the Poblano Burrito and I really like the blueberry muffin. They were able to heat his burrito but not the muffin. The complementary popcicle from the Pop Stand was SO GOOD. You can take the popcicle at check-in or come back at any point during the stay. We both had boozy ones. Ok the ROOM. So dirty. Rug, floor, chairs, you could see the crud coming from the air filter. Water was leaking into the concrete floor from the drink fridge. Water sprayed out of the shower onto the floor and took more than ten minutes to be only warm. The redeeming quakes that we book a room with a fire pit. We used it make s'mores and it was lovely outside.

    Making a cross country journey, we stayed the night at the lovely Rise Uptown Hotel after finding it listed on HotelsTonight. Honestly, we went in with fairly low expectations but this place blew us away. The rooms were super cozy, the retro vibe of the entire spot was spot on, and the pool/lounge area was a great way to relax post-long drive for an hour or two. The area itself is also cool, with some restaurants and bars in walking distance, and a cute little book store we just fell in love with. The rooms were well maintained and cozy as well. Already looking for another reason to hop over to Phoenix to visit the Rise crew!

    Rise Uptown is a whole vibe - fun, funky, and full of personality. This place is exactly what you'd hope for from all the cute things people post online. We were greeted with a popsicle when we checked in (we went with lime + vodka, which was super refreshing after the drive). One of the fun extras is that you get to pick out three records, and they bring a record player to your room. Ours didn't really work that well--kept skipping--but it was still a cool little touch and fun to browse through the vinyl collection. The rooftop bar, Don Woods' Say When, was definitely one of the highlights. It's got such a cool retro vibe, great cocktails, and views for days. We went up there around sunset and could see Camelback and the whole skyline--it was stunning. Perfect spot to hang out before dinner or for a late-night drink. The pool scene at Lylo Swim Club was just as fun. The setup is colorful and laid-back with tons of loungers and umbrellas. It's very mid-century modern, but in a playful, not-too-serious way. Drinks by the pool were solid and the vibe was super chill. Overall, Rise Uptown nailed it. It's got character, style, and all the little extras that make a stay feel special--even if the record player was more for show. I'd absolutely stay here again.

    My mom and I stayed here this Mon-Wed in July. I picked this hotel for the pool. There weren't more than 6 people at the pool at any time but that's to be expected on a weekday. They check your bags at the pool entrance. You cannot bring in outside food or drink. The room was really cute and everyone working here is very friendly. I wish the rooms had 2 luggage racks. They didn't have any. You get 2 free overnight parking passes per room. You get 2 free popsicles (with or without alcohol) and each night you are there, you get 2 free drinks (one per person) at their HH. The HH location changes between Lylo and the rooftop bar depending on the day. I tried some fruit flavored mojito at Lylo HH on Tuesday and it was awful. It was so sweet, that even when you replace half of it with water, it was still too sweet. I also wasn't sure if there was any alcohol in this at all. Couldn't taste it, only the sugar. They can deliver ice to your room if you send a text to their number which they give you at check-in.

    Roomnet Streaming Menu

    I loved everything about the place, and I mean everything; from the mid-century modern boutique to the popsicles, the excellent staff, and the outdoor bar. It gets a two because of the Roomnet streaming service. It is extremely limited and only offers Fox News as a national and global news source. Expand the choices or dump Roomnet. I don't watch state-sponsored news outlets or establishments that solely endorse them (either passively or actively) As Keenon Rhompson says! "FIX IT! . Please do better so I can return. It's a great place with a great vibe.

    Beautiful property with a fun pool scene. Really nice rooms with balconies. 420 friendly and dog friendly. Great coffeeshop and the food at the pool bar is delicious. The nearby cafe and restaurants are also great. Conveniently located in Phoenix.

    We loved it enough to stay 2 nights when we had originally only planned on staying for 1. The property was cute, with a Palm Springs/Miami vibe and awesome pool & pool bar area. There were free popsicles when we checked in, a cool retro-cabin-father's office style rooftop bar and so many cool spots within walking distance. We loved the room decor and for some reason - the towels were extra amazing (big and super soft). It was clean and DOG FRIENDLY , with no additional fees for fur family members.

    Ask the Community - Rise Uptown Hotel

    So, is it possible to grab a seat at the pool without reserving a seat through the lylo swim club? Like I'm trying to figure out if I even need to buy a seat at the Lylo.

    If you aren't a guest staying at the hotel you need to purchase a seat as you will need a wristband to be in the pool area. A night at the hotel costs less than a Daybed rental but you won't be able to sit on the Daybeds as a paying overnight guest,…

The hotel is inspired by the colorful and folk art influenced works of renowned mid-century modern architect and designer Alexander "Sandro" Girard. The hotel's bio says he was the main source of inspiration for the design of the Andaz Scottsdale. The property is beautiful to walk around, with all the landscaping, flowers and trees; some of them are marked with what kind of plant they are. There are century plants and aloe and various cacti. The fitness center is located at the spa. It has windows which open up onto the pool, which is a more private pool than the main pool. The staff is outstanding. Savannah, who ran the front desk on my most recent visit, is absolutely amazing and really helped with any questions or small issues with my stay. The restaurant is wonderful for the hotel breakfast. I recommend having cocktails there too. You can see a beautiful sunset from the bar. I love the open design of this hotel resort because it makes you feel like you're in the countryside and you can admire the beautiful views of Camelback as you walk around the grounds and hear birds chirping. It's so relaxing. Parking is easy and you can usually find a spot right outside your casita room as the parking circles the hotel. Toiletries in the room smell so good! Lavender with sea salt. It's really like staying in a spa! One of my favorite experiences at this hotel was taking a late afternoon outdoor class at the spa/gym on the large lawn where we did stretching/light resistance training with the the sunset behind Camelback Mountain as the backdrop. It was glorious. I definitely recommend trying one of the classes or "experiences" if you stay here. Some of them you have to pay extra for, but a few of them are included with your room rate. At first glance the hotel interiors and architecture seem extremely simple and minimal, but then you realize it's actually all a piece of mid-century modern inspired art. It's really fun to walk around and admire all the understated design details at this hotel.

The hotel is surprisingly affordable for Scottsdale, clean, well maintained, and has a ton of character. Unfortunately, there were also several things that left me wondering if time is beginning to pass this Scottsdale icon by. Our room was nice, but it stayed consistently around 76 degrees until the middle of the night. Why? Because there appeared to be a single vent pumping out just enough cold air to rival a household fan. I don't need my hotel room to double as a meat locker, but in Arizona, I would at least like the option. Also, being woken up by a leaf blower each morning as the wind whipped around the crevices of the door... yeah, not enjoyable. The pool was nice enough, but surprisingly small, crowded, and the water was hot. For a Scottsdale hotel with the reputation Valley Ho carries, the entire pool experience just felt a little dated and cheaper than I expected. We also paid $400+ for our cabana, only to discover the safe didn't work. At that price point, I expect every amenity included with the cabana to function properly. Now for the absolute bright spot of our pool experience: Alex! Alex was THE MAN. This dude strutted around that pool serving patrons with a smile and a full heart. My wife, our friends, and I were genuinely excited every time we saw him coming our way because his customer service was impeccable. He was personable, attentive, funny, and made us feel like he genuinely wanted us to have a great time. Give that man his flowers. Overall, I understand why Hotel Valley Ho is such a Scottsdale institution. There's history, character, and plenty to like about the property. But between the struggling A/C, questionable soundproofing, small and overcrowded pool, hot water, and malfunctioning cabana amenities, the experience didn't quite live up to the reputation. I don't regret staying here. My wife and I still enjoyed our weekend, and we made some great memories with our friends. I just think the Valley Ho experience sounds a little better on paper than it actually delivers in practice. Would I stay again? Possibly. Would I request Alex if I'm sitting poolside? In a heartbeat.

Dining: TAQUERIA CENTRO -- 10 out of 10. The food and service were both exceptional. Manager Carlos did an outstanding job and was a true highlight of our stay. Prado -- 4 out of 10. We visited Prado twice during our stay. Our first visit was for breakfast -- the food was okay but noticeably overpriced for what was offered. Our second visit was a far worse experience. We were seated and waited 15 minutes without our server ever acknowledging us, so we got up and left. The service at this restaurant was consistently poor and the pricing did not reflect the quality or experience provided. Dining Options -- Room for Improvement. For a resort of this size and reputation, the dining options felt limited. We would strongly recommend adding at least one additional restaurant to give guests more variety. The snack and coffee shop, which could help fill that gap, closed far too early in the evening. Extending those hours would go a long way in improving the overall guest experience, particularly for those who want a light bite or a cup of coffee later in the day. The Room -- 6 out of 10. The room itself was nice, but there were several issues that fell well below the standard I would expect from a resort of this caliber. The bed was old and noticeably worn down, making for an uncomfortable night's sleep. To make matters worse, the comforter on the bed was torn and had visible holes in it -- something that should never make it into a guest room. We also struggled with the room temperature throughout the night and were unable to get it to cool down comfortably. A Bright Spot at Checkout: I spoke with Avery Williams, Director of Front Office, at checkout and she was genuinely outstanding. She was sincerely concerned about the issues we experienced and did everything she could to address them. She even followed up with an email after our departure, which was a very nice touch. Overall, I left feeling somewhat disappointed given the reputation of this resort. With a few improvements -- additional dining options, extended snack shop hours, updated room bedding and linens, and better temperature control -- along with a serious look at the service standards at Prado, this could easily be a 9 or 10 out of 10 experience.
