We were looking for a place in Scottsdale with a view of the mountains. I saw the pictures of the hotel on skyauction and made a bid. We didn't know what to expect because we booked through an auction site but when we arrived we were very impressed with the hotel, the service, and the location. We asked for a mountain view room, it was confirmed by the hotel and that is what we got. (Thanks Ryan). The next day, after walking the path along the golf course, we thought a room on a different wing of the hotel would be even nicer. We requested a change and it was done without a problem. (Thanks Amanda).

All the staff we encountered during our six day stay was friendly and accommodating. The full breakfasts were great, made to order eggs, way too much bacon and sausage, and the staff was friendly and eager to please. The manager's reception was much appreciated, especially after the days we golfed on the course (Stonecreek) which the hotel overlooks.

Our room was spacious enough, we very much liked the suite layout and sitting on the balcony looking at the views.

The location, for us, was perfect. It is on a golf course, surrounded by nice residential areas, close to shopping, restaurants and easy access to the highways to go to places like Sedona and Cave Creek. There is also a complimentary shuttle that will take you to, and pick you up from, places you would want to see around the hotel (Thanks Dave).

We will definitely return to this hotel when we decide to visit the Scottsdale area again.

This is a lovely hotel in a very lovely setting located on a golf course on the north side of Camelback mountain. The views from the grounds and from our room (overlooking the pool, golfcourse, AND the mountain) makes the price of the stay an extra good deal. Our room was spacious, considering we have 4 kids - including a toddler. In addition to the door between the bedroom and the living room, the bathroom had a dividing door between the vanity and the tub and toilet, so that it can accomodate multiple users in need of privacy. There were plenty of choices at breakfast including a hot buffet for those who don't want to wait for cooked to order food.

Most hotels have friendly staff and good service. It's mainly the degree of attentiveness that make the difference. With our experience, the ones at this hotel rise to the top of our list. We were stopping for the night on the way up to Sedona and GCNP. Our plane arrived on Easter Sunday evening and check-in took place well after 10PM. When we planned the trip, we hadn't considered the possibility that the circumstance would leave us with zero dining option because all the eateries closed extra early due to the holiday. The front desk staff checked several places for us with no luck. Knowing that we had 4 children in tow, the staff sent up a bunch of snack items from the vending machines and extra bottles of water just to make sure we wouldn't go to bed hungry.
We really appreciated the gesture. Thank you so much for giving us a great start to our vacation.

My friend and I stayed here in March 2008 for a golf weekend, booked through a tour operator and prepaid. The room was perfectly sized for two middle-aged guys. The view was great. Only two issues -- one morning we awoke briefly to the shower running next door (walls must be really thin) and another morning the leaf blower was firing up at 6:30 a.m. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. And service at the adjacent StoneCreek golf club was fabulous. We had no problems with the breakfast service, and we were amused with the server at the manager's reception who insisted on shouting "Tequila!" every time someone asked for a margarita.

Our son was to be married and we were looking for a property that could accommodate us and our out-of-town family and friends comfortably and affordably. The rooms were spacious, the complimentary breakfast surpassed expectations, the staff was helpful and friendly, and the four nights at the Embassy turned out to be a very good experience. The feedback we received from those in our party of more than 25 was all positive. One of our four nights was spent in the Presidential Suite so that we could host a party for our group, and (except for a broken jacuzzi) all was well. We would recommend the hotel to others in similar situations. Thank you, Evelyn, for your assistance in the booking!
