Happy Valley House
A B&B feel a short drive from the water park
Glendale
About this stay
Happy Valley House swaps the standard chain-hotel layout for a bed-and-breakfast feel, with a guest lounge that gives the property a more residential, unhurried character than the Courtyard and Hilton properties along the same corridor. The pool covers the basics for cooling off, and free parking and Wi-Fi keep the essentials in place. Hurricane Harbor Phoenix sits nine minutes away by taxi for a full water park day, and Over Easy is a short taxi ride out for breakfast if the house's own offering feels too casual some mornings. Golf access nearby suits a quieter round away from the resort crowds, and the pet-friendly policy makes this a workable stop for travelers on the road with an animal who want something less corporate than the surrounding chain hotels.

Our take
This suits travelers who want a quieter, more residential alternative to the chain hotels along Happy Valley Road, particularly couples or small families who value a guest lounge over a business center. It works well as a low-key base for Hurricane Harbor Phoenix days. Anyone wanting a full-service restaurant or a hot tub on site should look toward the larger properties nearby instead, since this stays intentionally simple.
- Book here for a quieter, less corporate feel than the chain hotels along the same corridor.
- Use the guest lounge in the evening rather than retreating straight to the room.
- Confirm pet policy details ahead of arrival if traveling with an animal.

Why guests love itHappy Valley House is a relaxed bed and breakfast on the Happy Valley corridor, a change from the chain hotels around it. It has a pool, a guest lounge, free parking and free Wi-Fi, and pets are accepted. Hurricane Harbor Phoenix is close by for a water-park day with children, and Phoenix Sky Harbor is about 31 minutes away. The 7.8 score rests on only 47 reviews, so I would see it as a character choice rather than a safe bet.
