Chaparral Suites Scottsdale

The room and hotel were very clean, comfortable, and spacious. I was very pleased with the layout and amenities. It is an older hotel, but very well maintained. It also has a very good restaurant on premises. The staff were very friendly and efficient, and there is a free computer room available in case you forget your laptop. My only complaint is insufficient parking.

Given the high ratings on the travel sites, I was expecting a nicer, more modern room that is more in line with other hotels in the area. Square footage of the room and living area were good as well as the location. The complimentary breakfast was nice. Hotel is at the point where decor needs to be refreshed. Some examples: small LCD television in the front room but still a tube television in the bedroom, color schemes and framed pictures are also better suited for the 1990s. Good value but you only get what you pay for.

Good location with walking distance to the major shopping mall, friendly and helpful staff and fully equipped suites with for example refridgerator and micro oven. Free hot breakfast and transportation from and to the airport (also Phoenix).

We booked this hotel for a one-night stay at the start of a vacation, and liked it so much that we came back at the end of a week and stayed two more days. It is a true suite hotel -- the bedroom, which was generously sized, had a very comfortable King bed with nice linens, a sink and counter with a mirror, a blow dryer and nice lighting, a chair, desk, and the other usual hotel room features. The door from the bedroom led to a short hallway, off of which was the bathroom, which was just a typical bathroom, and then the hallway opened out into a small living room with loveseat (sofa bed) and armchair, round table with four chairs, kitchenette with a sink, microwave, and mini-fridge, counter and bar area, and another large TV. This living room featured glass doors with louvered wooden shades that could be adjusted for privacy or light, or even swung completely open. The living room furniture was quite comfortable, and the lighting good for reading -- they even provided a powerstrip for convenience, and a cable for those who didn't want to use the wi-fi. The only room downside was that the mini-fridge did a very poor job. I finally put a can of soda into the "freezer" area, which was the only way it seemed to actually chill anything. The included breakfast was served in a large freestanding building in one courtyard. Eggs (scrambled, or easy over,) bacon (ok, but not great), sausage (quite good), hash browns (pretty good), toast or English muffins (they do the toasting, but were happy to re-toast the English muffin to my desired dark toast), french toast, (didn't try), bananas, grapefruit slices, and mini-muffins (mediocre at best), a couple of cold cereals, and packets of oatmeal and cream of wheat seemed to be the food offerings, along with juice and coffee (okay but not great... many of the Arizona hotels have gone to the machines that make coffee from instant mix on demand, and this is one of them.) I don't think that the menu changes very often; it was the same each of the days we were there. The evening cocktail reception was the one weak (literally) point in the stay. The other half of the breakfast room building is opened up, and a "bartender" serves small plastic cups of beer, and a handful of very weak and poorly flavored mixed drinks, and a few sodas. Everything seems to come out of one of those gizmos where the bartender just needs to press a button, and one thing flavors the next. Popcorn was the only food, and overall this "cocktail hour" was eminently skippable. Kids did seem to like the arcade games in the area, and there are pool tables. I'd much rather gotten a voucher for one decent drink or beer. The rooms are all organized around two different patios, each with swimming pool, hot tub, and some lovely fountains, one of which was visible from the living room area of our room ...quite pleasant. Staff were very nice and helpful, and the main lobby is quite attractive. Parking was easy. The resort itself is on the main road, about 3/4 of a mile north of Old Town Scottsdale, and even closer to the fashion mall. Overall, we were quite pleased at the accommodations and the value, and would happily stay there again...though we'll skip the "cocktail" hour next time. We really enjoyed the separate living room and the comfortable furniture...made it easy for one of us to sleep while the other read or watched TV, and the ability to open the shutters allowed for very pleasant natural light in the room.

Good location just outside of Old Town. A courtesy shuttle is available for short trips to and from the hotel if you're not willing to walk the mile or 2 for all the touristy stuff. Great free breakfast & a good evening reception for 2 hours every day (draft beer & bottom shelf liquor). Parking is free if you have a car. Staff was very friendly & helpful. The rooms are nice with separate bedroom and living areas. The pool is decent. This hotel offers a great value.

The summary is that we would instantly stay here again. The overall value is great considering its location and overall value. The staff was very friendly, the grounds were well kept, the complimentary breakfasts were made-to-order, the main restaurant had very good food, two nice, large pools (they'll bring your drinks right to the pool) and the rooms are true suites with the bedrooms separated by two doors. The only drawback to this hotel is it's a bit older and dated. Neither my wife or I said anything when we arrived, but the moment we left the lobby, we both laughed out loud. She asked if we had just gone to the Regal Beagle (Three's Company reference) and I said I though we were at the hotel where Clark Griswold met Christie Brinkley - where he had the white leather shoes and Members Only jacket. If you look at the hotel's website, you'll see the dated 80's tile and bricks instantly. Fashion aside, we really enjoyed our stay for the reasons listed above. It's a great location and I don't think its value could be beat. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

I always enjoy my stay. You cant beat free cocktails and made to order breakfast! I plan on staying again!

I came for an interview with Capella university but had the opportunity to go shopping and see some sights. the shuttle drivers were great for taking me where i needed to go and picking me up at their schedule and accommodating and the food was outstanding. the only recommendation i would have is that there needs to be snack vending machines by the other vending machines, other than that it was a great stay and everyone was super friendly, wish i could have stayed longer

needed to rest good place

We had a great time, rooms and service was great. Good value and location, rooms clean and spacious.
