Hyatt House Scottsdale/Old Town - Good Location

We stayed at Hyatt House Scottsdale/Old Town for one night during our holiday trip to Arizona in 2019/2020 holiday period.  At that time, I was looking at good location to be within walking distance to Scottsdale towntown area.  There are only two Hyatt properties near Scottsdale/Old Town area.  Both Hyatt House and Hyatt Place are close to each other in the same area.

We took our car to the hotel.  The hotel itself is a group of several building complex.  The check-in desk is located at the building at the entrance.  There is a separate parking area just for check-in parking.  The parking space was very crowded.

We were upgraded at check-in to a two bedroom suite on second floor.  The building is located at the back of the property.

Guests park car at the unassigned parking space in front of the building.  As a budget type property, there is no bell service.  Guests take care of own luggage.  

The room is spacious.  There is a big TV.  Do not remember if there is any fireplace.

But the guest room has an odd layout.  The second bedroom is small.  There is no separate sitting area for the main room (bedroom).  The beds, sofa and chairs all show the lower quality of budget type hotel.  Carpet, door hardware and bathroom all show their ages.  

As a budget style hotel, there was not much service.  The check-in desk was adequate and upgraded our room to two bedroom suite.  

The staff at breakfast room did a good job to keep up with the food and the cleaning.  

This is the good part of staying in this hotel.  Morning breakfast is included as standard for all Hyatt House stays.  

The breakfast was full breakfast with bacon, sausage, egg etc.  The breakfast staff kept the breakfast plates full.  We did not have any issues with good running out.

Free breakfast was very popular.  The dining room was very crowded.

I like the dry fruits they offered.  Very tasty.

The hotel is located at the Southeast side of Scottsdale Old Town.  It is fairly convenient to visit most of the part of Scottsdale Old Town area on foot. 

Hyatt House Scottsdale/Old Town was a Hyatt category 2 property.  It requires 8,000 redemption points.  It seems its redemption value has been increased to category 3 that requires 12,000 points.  Since we also booked Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch, I just wanted to try this property for one night for easy access to Old Town area.

At 8,000 points, this hotel seems a good redemption value to easy access to Old Town.  But at 12,000 points, I'll probably look at other properties, even other brands.  There are so many options at Scottsdale area.
