Hotel Valley Ho

After a vacation full of mishaps the likes of the movie Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, we really needed a win. An emergency vet visit in Phoenix meant we needed to arrive at Valley Ho a day earlier. Kyle at the front desk not only fixed the funky booking I made with central command, but also gave us an upgrade and a little goody plate for our room with a nice note from the GM/VP.... Kyle must've been able to tell I was stressed (maybe it was the dog hair or the nasty dog sick smell on me, not sure) and needed a good shower. For context, we had a horrible experience a few days earlier at a Motel 6 that should be shut down (huge holes in the tub, fixtures broken off the walls, blood on surfaces). Literally, put our camp blankets on the bed and slept in hoodies with our hoods up. After putting my hand in something sticky on the nightstand, I was afraid to even sit down in the place. —SO, to arrive at a hotel where someone looks at you as a person and provides you with the most beautiful clean bathroom, a large, hot, high pressure shower, a giant tub, a patio looking out into the pool, fluffy clean sheets on a soft bed—I was nearly in tears (honestly, was a bit, but wiped them away with my shirt and kept my cool). The property is so beautiful, the gym is amazing with a huge selection of ultra-modern machines and a view of the pool. My dog was so comfortable and could heal from his vet visit in the comfort of a cool room. This was wonderful. I can't wait to come back. And, honestly, I was a bit weepy when we left. THANK YOU HOTEL VALLEY HO and THANK YOU, KYLE!

Perfect place for a quiet mid-century getaway. The location is perfect for food, shopping, or just walking around. The area is quiet and feels very safe. The hotel is lovely and feels like stepping back in time (in a good way). There's a pool with music and a bar as well as a quiet, secluded pool. The property is very lush for being in the desert. We love that our patio opened up to lime trees. We live in Las Vegas, and don't have anything close to this type of experience here. We've been twice and will definitely return..

Awesome hotel and really cool 50’s vibe. Pool area was excellent with lots of staff constantly checking if anything is needed.

Great location and a really nice vibe overall. We had a patio room, which would’ve been great, but it happened to be one of the hottest weekends, so we couldn’t really enjoy it. The pools were nice, and the room itself was stylish and comfortable. The issues were all heat‑related. The room just couldn’t stay cool in 110° weather — it hovered around 75°, so it never felt fully comfortable. The bigger problem was the minibar fridge. It wasn’t cold at all, which makes buying anything from it pretty pointless, and because it wasn’t actually cold, we couldn’t even use it for our own drinks. There was no separate fridge for personal items either, which is a huge miss for a hotel in Scottsdale during summer. All the drinks were warm, so we kept running to the ice machine, but the ice melted quickly because the room wouldn’t stay cool. We ended up going to Circle K just to get cold drinks. Honestly, it felt like the hotel and Circle K had some kind of side arrangement going on. For the price we paid, having a proper fridge for personal items is a must. That alone would make me think twice about staying here again.

We loved our experience at Valley Ho, but the star of the show was definitely Niesha at the pool — she didn’t just provide customers service - she provided an experience. She was so engaging and knowledgeable about the area (provided many recommendations.). At a time when people are constantly looking for the ‘next best thing’ - it is people like Niesha that keep you coming back to the same property.
