Hotel Valley Ho

This was a last minute booking, so I didn't do my usual research for "kids-friendly" hotel, but it was parent-friendly. 2 pools came in handy, so when the main pool became too many adults we moved to the other less crowded pool, & surprisingly found other kids. Food was delicious, and being from Vegas I've had my share of pool food, so it was good. I also enjoyed happy hour while the family rested, that was a huge plus, food & alcohol nearby. Wings & empanadas were delicious. No fridge, additional cost, but we had a cooler that was sufficient for 2 day stay. Overall, it wouldn't be my first pick for a stay with my kids, but I'm glad we went with just the rating & rolled the dice. I would come back with family, girls weekend for sure. Beds are super soft. We didn't venture out much but there seemed to be a lot around the hotel.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Valley Ho. It was conveniently located to Old Town Scottsdale. The staff were friendly and helpful. I brought my 12 and 9 year old kids who had fun at the pool and enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants and shops. We also rented one of their pool side loungers and it was nice to have an umbrella and seats poolside. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel — both meals were good. We picked pretty busy time for dinner so service was a little slow but the food was good, staff was friendly and accommodating. Would certainly return to this hotel. It was very clean and met our expectations for a relaxing trip.

So, I live right down the street from the Valley Ho and drink/dine at Cafe ZuZu fairly regularly as the drinks, food, service (the same employees have been there for years, which says a lot) and atmosphere. I have started at the Hotel before, but haven't in awhile (re: live nearby), but decided to for my birthday this year, and wasn't disappointed, everything was top notch! This time my sister and I also had facials at the Spa, amazing... It's not one of the huge spas in town, but, we loved the spa and work out area, especially the dry sauna (the little window to the outside especially), our facials and our esthetician... From her, a long time employee (15-years), I learned this property is family owned, which explained a lot and made me live it even more! I also learned from her that the rooms will be undergoing renovations starting this summer... one thing I hope doesn't disappear are big bathtubs... My favorite thing at any hotel! I'll definitely be back for ZuZu and staycations in the future. Our stay was made best by all the people you encounter, from the valet, to the front desk (Wesley!), to the spa staff, to the bartenders and waiters, to room service staff, until we left with the valets again! Keep up the good work!

I recently went on a family trip with my wife and toddler. The hotel is in a very good location in Scottsdale with many things in walkable distance. the hotel was clean, and the staff was very pleasant. Very responsive. Even though it was off-season, the party never stops. The hotel is very thoughtful and placing us far away from the party pool.

Beautiful landscaping, staff is exceedingly helpful and nice, rooms were great amenities were great too. The spa was wonderful if a little over priced but what spas aren't, the gym was nice and the multiple.pool.earess were very nice as well. They have an adult part pool area then a quieter kids and family pool area

Not a hotel for kids but if you are looking for a fun lively place to celebrate, this is the place.

Great hotel and great service! One pool was like a club more for the young adult crowd. The other pool was more family friendly.

The restaurant has great specials and Happy Hour in the bar. There is a pool party every Sat & Sun so if you don't like crowds and music, stay away from noon to 5. The wait staff at the pool are great though! Being AZ, the main pool is always warm. We didn't get a chance to try the lap pool but I'm hoping that might be cooler. Not really a family atmosphere, lots of adults, few kids.

Stayed here with my family and used most of the facilities. The pool is beautifully maintained and the staff are friendly. The food at Zuzu was excellent and they have a children's menu with lunch options for breakfast for the little ones. Would definitely stay here again!

Not for a 35-40 crowd. Pool was all 50 over weight people, or families. I expected 21 plus on the weekends. Rooms have a weird smell and they used old thin duvets in between two top sheets, and the pillows were lumpy. I expected a little more for 500$ a night. Disappointing
