DIRECTIONS:
Chaparral Suites is in Scottsdale at Chaparral Rd just north of Fashion Square Mall – Chaparral Rd has a light. Parking
is in the rear – two large parking lots Note: best to enter from the middle
elevator for the 4^th Floor Grille.

From the 101 freeway exit Chaparral Rd and go west. Just prior to Scottsdale Rd enter the side drive at 4^th Floor Grille and come up that elevator – it is in the center of the hotel complex. There is an awning marked 4^th Floor Grille.
This is the easiest way in – not through the lobby. The parking lots are in the back of the complex.
