text: I just returned from a trip to Scottsdale and staying at Hotel Valley Ho nnHave a seat get a drink and get comfy This is going to be a doozy nnI picked up my rental car headed to Hotel Valley Ho The entrance to the hotel is off the main road actually behind it Kind Of strange but I thought maybe it was an AZ thing I pull up to checkin and I am told that it is valet parking day if I want to leave my car to go checkin I ask where I should park if I want to selfpark I am told that it is next door in the Trader Vics parking lot nnSo I turn the car around and go park next door Let me say that it is NOT close and there are no sidewalks So you end up walking on the road as you cannot push your luggage through the grass nnSo after I walk back to the front of the hotel to checkin the first thing I encounter is a group of drunken girls in bikinis hooting hollering at the valet staff They are having some sort of flirtatious interaction and I thought What did I get myself infonnI checkin without too much trouble I head up to the th floor to my room The room seems nice enough although I found a little odd at first that some of my light switches did not appear to do anything I leave to meet a gf for dinner so I do not bother to try to figure out what is going on nnWe head to dinner arrive back to the hotel around pm It is now dark in Scottsdale as the sun has set I had to walk to the hotel from the Trader Vics parking lot in the dark on the street since there is no sidewalk I did not feel safe AT ALL and there is not great lighting along the walk back to the hotel nnI retreat to my room and think that maybe I will take a bath since the tub is so large and deep That is one thing that is good about the hotel is the bathroom is nice oversized nnI now realize that my lights are not working since the room is so dark It is quite strange as there is no reason why it should not be I proceed to mess with all the switches in the room and still cannot turn on anything but the entry way lights nnI call the front desk to ask for assistance The girl tells me she will send maintenance up mins go by nothing Shocker I call again and am rudely told that she will try again to call maintenance A gentlemen finally shows up but I hear him knocking next door I open my door and ask him if he means to come to my room nnHe tells me that he has to go next door to check the circuit breaker Sure enough somehow the lights in MY room got turned off because of the circuit breaker Why would you check someone into a room and have it have bad light switchesnnAnother odd side note There was no hotel directory in the room You know the one that tells you when the pools open what they offer in the hotel But they had plenty of books magazines for you to read So I kept having to call the front desk if I had a question nnI had purchased wifi for MB or for MB and it was incredibly slow It was to be hours for that fee I had a business meeting for half the day and I returned around pm When I attempted to reconnect to the wifi it was not working nnNow I am a tech savvy girl it was clear the router was down needed a reboot When I called the front desk again I was told that they would have to send the IT guy up as they cannot troubleshoot nnSo after a long sweaty workout in their hour gym I had to sit and wait for the IT guy to come to my room It was the same guy who had been the maintenance guy He watches me try to connect to the wifi and it fail And then his solution was to have me wire in via USB nnIt worked after a few attempts but what is the point of wifi if you are going to have to wire in nnThen in the morning I was going to check my email before I flew out and found that the hour internet service I paid for apparently reset at midnight So instead of having a real hour clock I had a hour clock That is ridiculous to charge for internet that did not work half the time and then timed out earlier than it should have nnThe pool was nice although I never got to spend any time in it I tried to catch some sun before I had to head out for the day It was absolutely dead Quiet When I returned home at pm and debated the pool it was full of douches They had opened up a bar and DJ booth and the music was clear all the way up to my th floor closed door patio nnI can see why some reviewers have said the scene is all about eye candy nnI also had breakfast in Cafe Zuzu one morning and the waitress was horrible I will write a separate review about that nnOverall the hotel had potential to be nice but they lost it all in the lack of service and the I do not care attitude nnIf you do not want to be in hospitality then do not But do not punish those who travel for the fact that you are miserable It also was quite steep over night and do not feel it offered anything worthy of that nnIll never make an appearance again
