Hotel Solaya

Great walkability

The pictures look nicer than reality. Very old and a bit rundown. A little bit better than a motel 6. The pool area looked pretty. I don’t not use the pool. It’s kinda a party hotel. It was quite in the hallways.

If you have a family member in honorhealth Osborne Hospital it is very convenient. My room is depressing and dark with tiny furniture and a floor lamp that they hadn't even bothered to plug in. Not regular television just free TV and you have to put in your memberships to watch anything on any cable channel . No shampoo or body wash in the dispensers no glass to brush your teeth. Restaurant closes at 8:00 which is way too early for guests with people in a hospital

Loved the location of this hotel, but it is party central during the weekends! Very loud and crowded at the pool and loud room parties all night. Our AC unit was also extremely noisy. The lounge chairs at the pool were very uncomfortable and falling apart with no chairs at all at the “quiet pool”. Unless you’re headed to Scottsdale to party day and night, I would stay elsewhere.

The Monarch is an affordable hotel located right in the heart of Oldtown. The main pool/hot tub area is lovely with lush greenery and a lively outdoor bar on site. The guest rooms were clean and functional, but a bit outdated. The wall mounted TV was very small & looked like a computer monitor. The outdoor balcony was a nice feature, but an awkward shape...not enough space for patio furniture (or even a chair to sit down). So guests can only stand up on the balcony to enjoy the view.

It is more of a 3 star than a 4 . Location is wonderful

While the hotel looks pretty cool in pictures, there are parts that are falling apart. Most notably, the pool chairs are unusable. It’s like laying on three metal bars. I tried wrapping towels around the chair but it was still painful to sit on them. In the room, the bathtub had paint chipping off.

I am a solo female traveler and did not feel safe at this hotel, I am leaving this review for other women traveling alone. The listing of this property is misleading. It is a motel where the lobby is separated. The lobby and pool areas are nice and renovated, but the rooms and hallways are dated and frankly a little sketchy. Your room's front door opens to the outside/parking lot, literally anyone off the street could walk up to your front door. There are security bars to block the parking lots off, but they don't use them, so the parking lots are basically open to the public and anyone can walk around. During my short time there I saw several people lingering in the parking lot that didn't seem to be staying at the hotel. The night I checked in, I realized that my room's chain lock on the door was broken and essentially useless. I asked to be transferred to a new room, the second room's back sliding door did not lock at all. So two rooms both with broken locks, extremely concerning. The furniture is scuffed up and just not in great condition, and one of the three rooms I was placed in the tub was dirty and had chipping paint. I canceled the remainder of my stay the next morning and transferred to a different hotel. Main takeaway, I did not feel safe at this hotel at all.

The hallway to my room was dirty Room was comfortable

Great location, adjacent/walking distance to Old Town Scottsdale shops. DJ at large pool on Sunday afternoon when we arrived.
