Step onto Old Town Scottsdale in 60 seconds. The Monarch features beautiful yellow and orange accents like its butterfly namesake. The peaceful Calma Pool is at the center of our six-building property, complete with a Hammock Haven. Across the courtyard is the larger, more lively pool. Splash parties, a hot tub, walk-up bar, yard games, cabanas, and weekend DJ-style music. Book a massage with our partner, Todd Miller's Spa and Wellness. Or lift weights in the fitness center, which overlooks the main pool through floor-to-ceiling windows. Plus, La Flora is our onsite restaurant and cafe, offering delicious dining options. Enjoy breakfast or a quick coffee and pastry from the cafe, or settle in for dinner at the restaurant. Inside your modern room, you'll find a mini-fridge, drip coffee, and a Roku for streaming. Outside your door, there are endless Southwestern food and entertainment options. Catch a baseball game at Scottsdale Stadium, a five-minute walk away. Browse cactus-inspired trinkets along Scottsdale Road. And The Mission is a converted church serving Latin cuisine and hand-crafted margaritas. Spice up your getaway with a stay at The Monarch. The Picante Pool hosts DJ music Friday to Sunday, 11 am–6 pm, throughout Summer. This is a central location and prone to city noise. Use the Sonder app to navigate your stay from start to finish. Check in. Request amenities. Connect to WiFi. Contact customer support. All via our small (but mighty) app. Whatever you need, we’ve got you covered. This Sonder has a front desk which is staffed 24/7. Our on-site team is available to ensure you have a better stay.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This place is a total joke. They painted some damp old hotel rooms yellow and are trying to pass it off as a Scottsdale resort with resort prices. Our room was musty and damp, old AC unit plus tons of street noise woke us up all night long. Stiff uncomfortable sheets. Leaking refrigerator. Slow wifi that couldn’t support the streaming they offer on the tv half the time. There’s no cleaning offered during your stay and extra supplies cost $$. We used all our towels up mopping up the leaking fridge. Pool is decent but was unfortunately overrun by a loud group of kids and a dad playing unsafe and rowdy games - encouraged by the hotel staff. We didn’t even touch the spa because the prices were totally prohibitive and if it’s anything like the quality of the hotel it would not have been worth it. They try to minimize the need for hotel staff with their minimal services, but the interactions we did have were mostly rude and unfriendly. The lobby was strangely very beautiful and inviting - I can’t figure out why they don’t put half this amount of effort into the rooms themselves as no one really uses the lobby and rooms are self check-in. The biggest thing this hotel has going for it is that it’s in the heart of old town Scottsdale which was a great location, walkable to shops, restaurants, and civic center. So if that’s your single criteria then go for it. I’ll be avoiding the Sonder brand in the future.

Really? No! Yes, really! I checked into Sonder from an on-line booking company since I thought this was a good price. When I arrived, I thought, well, I can always changed if I didn't like it as I was staying in Scottsdale for three days. Here's what happened; -got into bed - most comfortable hotel bed in many months -pillows and sheet quality was fantastic -okay, in the shower ... what great water pressure -lush cotton towels -oh look, I can open the door to the baloney --fresh air - by God, ..great internet connection!!! next morning, went to the front desk and extended my room for two more days! So when you think what is important when you stay at a hotel... this place got a GOLD star! The only down side was that there was no desk in the room.

Sonder dropped the ball from first stepping into the hotel. Upon arriving, none of the codes emailed to our group worked, and we needed to get new ones. Upon entering my room, I noticed stains on the sheets and malfunctioning electrical in the bathroom. I was moved to a different room, which also had hair in the sheets. Due to cleanliness issues, I was moved to a third, fourth and fifth room, each dirtier than the last. Sonder had no more rooms that were “up to par” after checking three additional rooms (for a total of 8 rooms) and was asked to stay elsewhere and discuss it with my group sales manager. No one took ownership or responsibility, and no apologies were issued. After telling my company manager about this, she spoke with Sonder and had to “deep clean” all of the rooms for the rest of our group prior to arrival.

this place is a motel, as long as you are okay with that then it is okay ... The rooms are old, walls are filthy, floor dirty and sticky. The rooms smells of mildew and overall a bad place. on a business trip so all I want is a clean room to sleep in. No front desk staff, no one answers the phones and no one responds to emails

All very nice, and the price was really good. It is keyless entry like am Airbnb. We were on the first floor, so there is a patio you can step out to from the sliding door. The pool area is very beautiful. They do charge for daily parking.

The bed is very comfortable, the staff is friendly, and I love the pool! Property is well maintained with lush gardens, waterfalls and lots of greenery everywhere. Location is second to none, right next to Old Town Scottsdale.
