Bottom Line

If your priorities are affordable rates and proximity to Old Town Scottsdale, the Clarion is a fine -- if unremarkable -- choice. The basic, clean rooms have motel-style entrances and are cramped by large furniture, but at least there are iPod docks and free Wi-Fi. The spacious pool area is also a highlight. If you'd rather be within walking distance of the Old Town district, consider the Scottsdale Marriott Suites.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hotel Adeline

Scene

An adequate mid-range, 218-room, family-friendly hotel

On the outside, the Clarion looks like a motel, with exterior room entrances and an aging building. But the rooms are solidly mid-range (if cramped), and the pool within the Clarion’s shady, grassy courtyard is lovely. It's unremarkable overall, but the location is convenient for exploring downtown Scottsdale.
