Rough Guide "To appreciate this historic very central 1920s hotel, you have to be the kind of traveller who positively prefers an old fashioned, frazzled and often noisy downtown hotel."
Michelin Guide "A yellow-brick downtown classic since 1928, the San Carlos is an historic anomaly in a region of spa resorts and golf haciendas."
Gayot "Set in the Copper Square district of downtown Phoenix, this hotel is a reminder of a different era."
DK Eyewitness "This historic hotel is full of character and charm. Despite some small rooms, it's priced right and filled with nostalgia."
Lonely Planet "A historic property in the heart of downtown Phoenix, this 1928 gem sports smallish but clean rooms, friendly staff and lots of old-school charm." Full review

"An institution in Scottsdale since it opened in 1956, the Valley Ho exudes a retro charm that draws the young and the hip." Full review
Star Service "For those who didn't get the memo, this is Scottsdale's go-to girl for fun and fashion, a fabulous midcentury landmark with a disproportionate slice of social cachet." Full review
Gayot "The hotel's location, within walking distance to downtown's galleries and shops, makes it a nice departure from the area's many desert resorts."

"Dating back to the 1950s, this "trendy" Downtown/Old Town Scottsdale "landmark" is a "hip and swank" "midcentury gem" featuring a "cordial" staff and "attractive" guestrooms."
Condé Nast Traveler "Restored to its original splendor, rooms are retro-chic but never twee. Lounge by the pool – just like when it was a desert paradise for top stars of the time – or stroll about in walk-able Scottsdale." Full review
Afar Magazine "Guest rooms are bright with colors that wouldn't be out of place on South Beach. And the pool is still the place to be." Full review
Afar Magazine "I am obsessed with the hit series Mad Men and the Hotel Valley Ho, located in downtown Scottsdale, is one of my favorite hotels to stay at because it feels like you get transported into another time." Full review
