Axel's take on Old Town Scottsdale: #1 of 5 in Scottsdale, 7.4/10

The easiest first-visit base, provided you choose your block carefully. Old Town wins on character and things to do on foot, backed by good hotels, but value is middling and club-adjacent blocks compromise quiet.

Old Town gives you Scottsdale beyond the resort gates. Main Street and Marshall Way have galleries and Western Spirit, while Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and Civic Center add contemporary culture nearby. Fifth Avenue, the Waterfront and Fashion Square broaden the shopping-and-dining circuit without making every outing a drive.

Stay here for a first visit, restaurant-hopping or evenings out without organizing another ride. The catch is that the Entertainment District and the Arts District deliver very different nights: choose away from the club blocks if sleep matters. Summer heat also limits how much that walkability is worth during the day.

  • Best for: first-time visitors, travelers without a car, nightlife, museums and culture
  • Skip it if: You want secluded resort grounds; You need guaranteed quiet beside nightlife
  • Getting around: Walk the main districts; bus 72 follows Scottsdale Road and 50 follows Camelback, with free weekday trolleys nearby; use a taxi or rideshare from PHX, AZA or SCF—there is no direct airport rail.
  • After dark: The Entertainment District stays busy late on weekends; Main Street and the Arts District offer calmer alternatives.
  • Rates: Typical Axel rate $224 a night · usually 7% under the public rate

How to choose

What paying more buys

Compared with Motel 6’s compact basics, Canopy buys modern room comfort, a rooftop bar and more attentive hospitality. Marriott Suites offers two-room space for less than Canopy, but dated furnishings. Neither upgrade is essential if you will spend most of your time out; W Scottsdale’s still-higher rate buys a party setting, not quieter sleep. Typical rates with Axel here run from $98 a night at Motel 6 Old town Scottsdale/Fashion Square to $490 at W Scottsdale (last 30 days).
