While this may look like an older hotel, you still have your own access. Our room was a bit outdated, but it was very comfortable and had what we needed. There are elevators in the building. The price was right and very affordable. They do have a front desk during regular hours of business, so if anything was needed that would be the only time to communicate. Not far from 51 or the 101, plenty of restaurants, gas stations, and other stores needed. There is a Safeway (Jewel/Albertosons) about 2 blocks away for groceries. I would stay again if wanting to be near Scottsdale but don't want to break the bank.
