Take everything you like about the Valley Ho in Scottsdale and copy and paste it into a much more urban, artistic setting, and you've got the Clarendon. \n\nI thoroughly enjoy Camus, as an aside, and was compelled to check out the hotel only after spending some time at the restaurant. \n\nThe layout is motel chic: a hollowed out edifice with a fifties style pool in the center. The walls are painted in bright colors and illuminated by alternating colored lights. Music echoes through the spa and pool areas with just enough volume to leave you at the door of your room. \n\nInside the rooms, the beds are amazingly cozy. They creatively leave a large window for natural lighting and allow the guest to privacy by sliding the wall size painting over the empty space, for darkness and privacy without curtains or shutters. It's very Thomas Crown. \n\nRobes hang in the closet for spagoers and the bedside CD player/ alarm clock will make you feel right at home. \n\nVery fair rates (I went through Hotels.com) for what you get in return.
