Great hotel. However, housekeeping was a bit too anxious. Came in on me on checkout day at 8:30am and again before checkout. Continental not complimentary breakfast. The watermelon slices came to $5. That's a half of a melon. But, it's the rich part of town so...

I stayed here for a work event nearby. The hotel was super clean and the staff was wonderful. I’m not usually a fan of hotel beds or pillows but they were very comfortable and I slept like a rock!!! It’s a great location and super easy walking to restaurants and shopping nearby. Shout out to Chad for being so hospitable. I will definitely stay here again

Stayed at the AC Hotel Scottsdale North and had a great experience! The hotel has a really clean, modern feel and the rooms were comfortable and quiet — perfect for relaxing after a long day. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the location is awesome with plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. Definitely one of the nicer, more stylish places I’ve stayed in Scottsdale. Would absolutely come back!

Stayed here recently and honestly, very solid choice. Room was a great size, clean, modern, and comfortable. Shower pressure was elite—like “stand there an extra 5 minutes questioning your life choices” good. Only design mystery: the toilet placement. Whoever approved the layout clearly wanted guests to maintain direct eye contact with themselves while using it. Bold architectural choice. Not a dealbreaker, just… memorable. Location is a huge win. Super close to Kierland Commons and a ton of restaurants and shops—about a 10-minute walk depending on how distracted you get by food options. Also an awesome home base if you’re in town for the WM Open. Overall, great stay. Would absolutely come back—mirror stare and all.

Well first I've never stayed at this hotel but being a local I've visited the bar quite often. I've brought friends for a nice quiet night there. The bar area is very comfy and well appointed. Usually has current sports playing on the TV. The bar menu is awesome and has something for everyone. (More so than the large resort across from here!) The staff is great, Leah the bartender is awesome and Maria the chef in the kitchen makes the best meatballs with marinara that are on the menu. (I have them everytime I go!) (Better than the dry meatball I had at Mastro's). Chad the hotel manager is very attentive and I've relay to him how nice the whole hotel is. Hope they never change a thing. At least at the bar. Another thing I've noticed. I don't know his name but the man who takes care of the facilities does a wonderful job. I've never been in such a clean restroom.. Thanks

I recently stayed at the AC Hotel in North Scottsdale and had a great experience. The room was comfortable and well kept, and the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location is excellent with good restaurants nearby, and it is right across from the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa. The only minor downside was that the elevator felt a little slow at times, but that is a small issue compared to everything else the hotel offers. Overall, a great place to stay and one I would definitely recommend.

A bit disappointed that if you get a room with 2 beds, so usually that comes with 2 people or a max of 4 you only get two pods of coffee. Yes only one regular and one decaf. So you have go downstairs for another regular or decaf. Plus you have to pick up and move the coffee pot from its location and move it because there is no plug outlet for it. Kind of a hassle for a morning cup of coffee. This wasn’t just our room but the other room we booked as well. No microwave in the room either for hot tea.
