Az Staycation at SpringHills Suites.

 

Recently my mom, my daughter & I decided to have a girl's staycation to have a day where just the three of us could spend together. We wanted to find a hotel that was near some of the spots we wanted to visit, didn't break the budget, had a pool & possibly had breakfast included. I ended up finding a great deal on a room that was perfect for the three of us at a hotel called SpringHill Suites Scottsdale North. This post is not sponsored, we paid for this ourselves, I just wanted to share this great hotel with others in our area or even anyone traveling to Scottsdale/Phoenix that is looking for an affordable hotel. It is located in North Scottsdale just south of Scottsdale Road & the 101 freeway.

The room included two queen sized beds along with a sleeper sofa. The hotel room had quite a bit of space; it was essentially two rooms along with a bathroom & vanity space. The first half of the room contained a small office space + kitchen nook which had a desk, desk chair, mini fridge, microwave and coffee pot, it also had the 'living room' area where the sleeper sofa was located plus a ottoman & big screen TV. The back half of the room contained both the queen-sized beds, a closet area to hang up clothing + a safe and another big screen TV. In addition, there was the vanity area plus the bathroom that was spacious with a large step in shower. 

The shower was nice, it had a multifunction shower head. This hotel aims to be more eco-friendly so instead of having small travel sized toiletries in the bathroom they have shampoo, conditioner & body wash secured to the shower wall which get refilled after guests have visited. I really liked the scent of the body wash it was a mixture of lavender and eucalyptus. The only thing I didn't like about the shower was the weird metal bar they had as a drain, it made such an odd sound when the water hit it and you could hear it in the room itself when someone was in the shower. The beds were comfortable as was the sofa and sofa bed, the room in general was very relaxing & no one felt cramped. We even had a friend of mine stop by and when she was there everyone had plenty of space and somewhere to sit. 

I also liked that the pool was open late (until 11pm) as we were able to relax for a little while after having dinner before getting in the pool. The pool was quiet, when we went down there was only one other family who was in the hot tub at the time. The other family left after a little while, so we had the pool and hot tub to ourselves. The pool area was nice, it was well kept & had plenty of chairs and tables for everyone. I wouldn't consider their pool towels actual pool towels though, they didn't have any out at the pool so we asked the front desk for three pool towels. We were provided with two towels that were smaller than the towels in the bathroom of our room & one hand towel. 

The breakfast they offered was great, they had a wide selection to choose from which included an oatmeal bar, build your own waffle, cereal, bagels and more. It was filling & everything was fantastic. Both our check in & check out went quickly and smooth. So how much did a night run? I found a deal to get the room for $98 per night, with taxes along with a parking pass (they require you to buy one to park on the property) the room came to about $120. Considering you save a decent amount of $$ by not buying breakfast for everyone in the room, that isn't a bad deal. We also liked that it was close to shopping plus a variety of restaurants along with fun things to do.
