Hey even bloggers have to get out of town every now and then.
Many of us head to the Phoenix area at least once a year. Since this trip was on the back end of the holidays, we were definitely looking to keep a lid on costs.
Have I a find for you! 3 Palms Scottsdale (7707 East McDowell Road,) is a recently remodeled 2 story motel...oh I know what you are thinking... bare bones, horrid location.
The rooms, though on the small side, are beautifully appointed with all the latest electronics, contemporary furnishings, granite countertops and very comfortable beds. The shower/tub was fresh and and the water was good and warm but they do have those flow regulators--hey it is Arizona.
The pool area is immaculate (though a little on the spartan side) well heated in January and the generously sized hot tub is great. Pool towels are available at the front desk.
If you are a light sleeper I would recommend the top floor closer to the back of the property as late arriving guests can wake you up.
Avalon an adjacent restaurant is popular with guests, but we were trying something new each meal. And nothing is more than a 15-20 minutes drive. Old Town Scottsdale is about 5 minutes away.
Oh yeah, and room rates start at $56.00 a night! For that rate, you cannot beat this place. I have paid much more for much less.
Check it out for yourselves:
