Hotels Near Shaw Butte Trailhead in Phoenix

The camelback inn maintains a lot of its historical characters, we stayed here because there has been much raved reviews about the property. We were here for Easter weekend, so it was rather chaotic. The lobby for check in isn't grand by any mean. The property is very spread out, and you self park to be close to your casita. The casita we received has an obstructed view of the camelback mountain. And the back patio to seat out. The casita is good size, but the bathroom is disproportionally small compared to the rest of casita. And the floor was very dusty. House keeping takes away towel during cleaner but doesn't bring in clean ones, which I find it mind boggling. And the floor remain dusty after cleaning. The pool area is packed, and I meant packed with family & kids. It's impossible to find an available lounge chair. And they ran out of pool towels. The pool attendants were friendly, but there's not enough of them vs number of guests. The location of the property is convenient, short drive to downtown scottsdale. We ate out both nights as its impossible to get reservation for the Rita's on site. We had spa treatment the second day and spent our pool time there. The spa pool is quiet and serene. I think the spa is much much better run than the hotel. We had easter brunch at Lincoln's as Rita has no availability. There are only two spots with EV charging. So you kinda have to drive to the charging spot, walk back to your room. And walk back to the spot to move your car closer to your room after charging. Overall it was an ok, somewhat disappointed stay. The house keeping, the onsite restaurants availability and the crowded Jack Rabbit pool left a lot to be desire.

We were here for a business meeting. Our room was nice, clean and had everything that we needed. The gardens are well kept and the area is easily walkable. The room had a fridge, safe and microwave. The bed was comfy and there was a nice leather chair and ottoman to use. My Only complaint would be that there was trash sitting in front of our room when we arrived (5:00 pm) and was still there until afternoon the next day. Each day there were sugar and creamer packets and coffee cup lids on the grounds in many places throughout the resort. We had a few receptions and the staff could not have been any more attentive. They did an amazing job serving drinks and food. They were on top of the cleanup also. Job well done. We did have a pre-order luncheon one day also. That meal did not seem as well executed. It took over 45 minutes to be served our meals. The resort has some restaurants across the street that were walkable. The mall and Old Town Scottsdale are nearby also.

Spent one night here. Came to Phoenix to see a Diamondbacks baseball game. Staff was super accommodating. They got us into our room early! The location was perfect! Although the valet parking was pricey, we never had to drive or look for parking downtown. We were able to walk everywhere: to lunch at the Kettle Black restaurant, to a coffee shop, to CVS and even to the BB game. We took advantage of using the Lime scooters and got exercise walking. On our downtime, we relished how comfortable the bed and room was. Except for a microwave in the room (they had one in the lobby) we had all the amenities we needed. Loved the sun blocking blinds! The breakfast was in keeping with the Hampton Inn’s reputation for a hot meal with good variety of foods. They did not have a pool (Phoenix is soooo hot and I would have welcomed it but knew it going in) but had a fitness center. The area had some homeless people around but we never felt unsafe. Well lit on the streets at night. For a large city, it was uncrowded. All in all, great place!

I checked in late at night after a long drive. Only here for a few hours. Lisa took such great care of me checking me in, helping me out, getting me food. It made a world of difference to me when I was weary, hungry and struggling! She is the best.

Satisfactory hotel. Very close to the city light rail and the convention center, it is perfect for those who come to the meeting. In addition, in the city center, general day trips can be picked up and dropped.

The hotel is in the city center and the location is very good! The equipment is very new, there is a shopping mall behind the hotel, shopping is convenient, there are few Chinese people nearby, the outdoor terrace on the second floor of the breakfast hotel feels very delicious. I solved it at a nearby Japanese restaurant in the evening, and there is Starbucks near 200 meters. All of this is very good, the only bad thing is that there is no boiled water, but most hotels in the United States do not, especially this place with few Chinese.

Nice new clean hotel, comfy bed. Short walk to cafes restaurants. Staff were great. I’d stay here again!
