Top Phoenix Zoo Hotel Reviews

Springhill Suites Phoenix Scottsdale Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second stay at this property, and once again, I had a wonderful experience. Upon check-in, I was warmly welcomed back, and I was genuinely impressed that the staff remembered me from my previous visit.It was such a nice personal touch and a great example of memorable customer service. I chose to stay at SpringHill Suites again because I enjoyed my first visit so much.I really appreciate the 24-hour fitness center and the complimentary breakfast, which offers a nice variety of healthier options, including granola, Greek yogurt, and dried fruit toppings.What especially stands out to me is that they also offer vegan-friendly options and almond milk—something I don’t always find at hotel breakfasts and definitely appreciate! The parking garage is currently under construction, so there is a mandatory $12 valet parking fee. However, I booked through Expedia with VIP Access, which included complimentary valet parking—a very nice perk Overall, another great stay! The friendly service, thoughtful amenities, convenient location, and little touches are exactly why I chose to return, and I would happily stay here again"
