*I hope that your weekend was fantastic and that you enjoyed the rare site of clouds in Phoenix. I myself, dislike more than one cloudy day in a row and have all the sudden been freezing because the temperature hasn't reached the 80's! Sadly, as soon as the summer comes around i'll be itching to feel cold again, but for now I'll enjoy the heavenly weather that March and April brings to the valley! 

The best advice for the summer is to enjoy one of the many indoor activities that Scottsdale has to offer, or a vacation/day-vacation at Hotel Indigo, where you can take pleasure in a stimulating swim and an air conditioned room.  This summer you can also stay cool with a refreshing cold glass of water in the lobby. The friendly, helpful faces will be glad to assist when your hands are full from beating the heat in the Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall.
"Julio, who stopped what he was doing to help me pour a glass of water from the wonderful iced lemon water cooler in the foyer when he saw I only had one hand free to fill my glass."

~I laid in bed last night, thinking the most random thought as I starred into my closet. I looked at the shoes hanging on my shoe rack and started to wonder what shoe am I? Am I the polka-dot converse gym shoe, the black leather heel, the tan ballet flat, the Nike running shoe, or the beach flip flop? Could I be a combination of all four or could the combination just be my uncertainty about myself? I think our personalities are all comprised of multiple shoes, at least I hope, even though one may be worn more than others. That's what I love about Hotel Indigo, it fits every shoe, from the Converse lover to the high heel and every style in-between. "It was a great place to come home [to] at the end of the day."

• The valley is full of guests coming to enjoy Spring training, art and culinary festivals, one of the many golf courses, and the infamous Scottsdale nightlife. The question that always arises is where to stay? The ever so popular place to be is Old Town, also known as, Downtown Scottsdale.

*Hotel Indigo is receiving rants and raves from its guests and is the hotel of choice for many visitors. From the hotels unique and beautiful rooms, to its friendly service it will provide a trip to remember for all.*

"The staff was great, Lloyd the Head Engineer was so very helpful to me and my guest it was unbelievable, John & Matt the bartenders were great, and Luise were all very delightful. My stay at Indigo was one to remember for a lifetime..."

~Located in the heart of trendy Scottsdale in an atmosphere full of excellent service and accommodating staff! What better way to start off the evening or enjoy a happy hour with close friends or business associates in a "calm and cool atmosphere."

~Saturday nights bring a substantial amount of people into the Old Town Scottsdale area and no one wants poor service or unfriendly people serving them on possibly their only night out! Be treated by employees and a staff ready to serve above and beyond. Enjoy $3 domestics and $4 well cocktails at one of the only places providing Friday and Saturday night specials.
"The entire experience was great. Especially Matt at the bar adjacent to the lobby check in and outside fire pit. He was especially polite, and accommodating. Highly recommend his attitude, and attention to detail."
