Hotel Adeline

On the outside, the Clarion looks like a motel, with exterior room entrances and an aging building. But the rooms are solidly mid-range (if cramped), and the pool within the Clarion’s shady, grassy courtyard is lovely. It's unremarkable overall, but the location is convenient for exploring downtown Scottsdale.

Numerous shops, art galleries, nightclubs, and restaurants are located within one mile. The Scottsdale Waterfront and Fashion Square, two upscale shopping locations, are a five-minute drive away. Shuttle service is free within five miles.- 5-minute drive to Old Town Scottsdale

Don’t expect to be wowed by the rooms, which are small and have exterior entrances. The decor itself, at least (aside from the worn red carpets) is basic but tasteful, with sturdy wood furniture and some cool southwestern touches (such as carved wood art on the walls).All rooms include:- TV with Nintendo game system, mounted in a large armoire
