We actually didn't spend a ton of time at the Resort since we were visiting family in the area, but I was still impressed at ... how nice everything was ~ and I did a complete tour of all their facilities. The best thing, though, was that they accepted large dogs (without an additional fee) ~ we have a 150lb Newfoundland and 70lb Newfie mix and we really wanted them to be able to travel with us for the holidays. The location was great, and the decor is quite nice ~ not exactly my style, but very well done nonetheless!

Wonderful gem in Scottsdale

Great place to stay while exploring Scottsdale/Phoenix area. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Front desk gave us ... 2-for-1 coupons upon check-in for breakfast buffet and dinner at their restaurant. Food was delicious, servers were extremely attentive. Great fitness facility and spa.

We will return!

We have family in town, but choose not to stay with them so we have some space and are not under foot while they are going ... through their daily activities. We just loved the whole look and feel of the place and plan to return with our 19 and 21 year old sons for another visit.

Excellent property, great staff

Traveled to Scottsdale for golf. Hotel staff went out of their way numerous times to make our stay pleasant. Clearly well ... trained and motivated to convince customers to come back. We will. Made us feel they were glad we were there.

[...] at the front desk was great.

I really only have good things to say about this resort. The staff was friendly and helpful, even asking what floor we ... wanted to stay on and what view we preferred. Never has any hotel asked me that upon check-in. We were very impressed with our room. It was quite comfortable with ample room for 4 people. The decor was warm and inviting, lots of wood and marble. The closet opens from both sides which was quite unique and offered lots of storage space. Our room had 2 sinks, one with a sit down vanity, which I loved, and it was separate from the rest of the bathroom. It advertises as a smoke free hotel but they do offer ash trays out by the pool. We would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay

Very nice resort. Understand that it is a conference center, so dealt with a few boisterous individuals in the bar on the ... weekend. We really enjoyed the pool area and the bar. Did not eat at the high end on site restaurants(pricey)-the one meal we had at the bar (burger & side salad) was great. Looking forward to a return trip and have already recommended to friends. Only down side was not having a mini fridge or micro. Thanks!

Overall good experience

It was a great value. I appreciate the friendly front desk staff and quiet rooms even though the hotel was filled with guests. ...

We went there to relax and were able to do that at the pool and the surrounding walking trails. The pool and lounge areas ... have ambient music 'everywhere' which you may or may not like, but we were still able to relax.

Good Choice

We stayed in a Casita room and liked it, plush towels and robes, quiet, HDTV. Did not like the surprise at check in of a ... "Resort charge" of $16 per night, which included "free overnight parking", free high speed internet, two hours of bike rental, fitness center (my husband is disabled). Should have been an option but it was not presented to us as optional. Still a great deal in a beautiful resort!

Great resort

The Scottsdale Resort is a beautiful setting and easy to reach from the Sky Harbor Airport. The rooom was beautiful, ... clean,great beds and a nice 52" HDTV. I spent a lot of time next to pool which had great lounge chairs and nice service bar. This location was easy access to all of Scottsdales shopping districts. I found a very friendly staff at the front desk and in the sports lounge. I would stay again, especially during the month of October.

I had a great time during my stay. I didn't spend a lot of time at the hotel itself, but the few times i relaxed there was ... great. I was there in october and there was three conventions going on there and i didn't feel overwhelmed by people. The only thing i was upset about was the $16 resort fee per day. It included fitness access, pool access, biking access, valet parking. And mini bar access. Honestly, working in sales, I can see that it's a way to make money and i don't know if i was able to decline this option, but i'm a health nut so i was working out every day. It's in a beautiful spot in Scottsdale, AZ and close to a lot of restaurants such as J. Alexanders, Marcella's Italian Kitchen, and Blanco's Tacos+tequila.

Nice property

Nice Spot for a Relaxing Time

Took a trip down to Scottsdale from Boston. Never been to the "desert" so wanted a chance to experience the Southwest. Take ... this review with a grain of salt since I'm more of a "functional" than a "decorative" kinda of guy... The resort looked very fancy and luxurious with very nice architecture and a lot of green in contrast to the dusty landscapes of Arizona. Our room was originally set up with two queens but we were able to get a room with a King in the Casitas part of the resort. Overall it was a nice room. The bed was comfortable and the LCD TV in the room provided hours of entertainment. Speaking of the TV, the channel selection was a little wonky. It had a few of the local channels and some cable channels as well, but they were finicky at best, sometimes not showing up or appearing frozen for hours. The whole TV system is integrated with some computer application that allows you surf the internet and play games on the TV as well. Unforatunately, I couldn't try any of these other applications because the wireless keyboard the works in conjunction with the remote just didn't work (batteries?) and you couldn't input text with the remote. A few other qualms about the room. The room had a mini-fridge, probably full of alcohol, but it was locked. Would have been nice to bring some of that leftover food we got at the great restaurants back to the hotel instead of throwing it away... or at least have been able to have a cold bottle of water or soda. Also, no ice machines... we called and asked and they offered to bring us some to the room but being stingy I didn't want to have to tip someone to bring me ice. The bathroom was basic tub and washroom. The toilet flush was very weak (had to wack the handle to completely flush) and the thing sounded like it was constantly running, had to close the door at night when we slept... oh and the door didn't close all the way so you couldn't lock it, which was fine since it was just me and the wife but I can see where that would be an incovenience. Maintenance in the room also seemed to be lacking a little bit. There were quite a few light bulbs in the overheads that were not working (burned out?)... and for some reason it always took me three tries with my keycard to get into the room (tho the wife's card worked in one most of the time). The maids were also hard to judge on when they would come. Sometimes we'd be inside the room all day and not hear them knock on our door. Other times we'd be gone all day and come back to find all the towels still on the floor. Once we had come back and they had changed the towels... great! Later we left for about an hour to get a late dinner not expecting anyone to come into our room but when we came back our bed was made... which would have been cool if all our stuff that we left on the bed wasn't folded into the cover. We made sure to put the do not disturb sign up whenever we left from that point on if we did not want them coming into our room. We also tried the breakfast buffet they offered since we had a buy one get one coupon. The food we were offered was a breakfast buffet with your basic staples plus some scrambled eggs, bisquets, bacon... your "cracker barrel" variety, just not as good. We were very surprised when we got the bill! It wasn't even worth half of what they charged, which with the coupon it ended up being near that. We actually went to cracker barrel the next morning. Most of the food there was way over priced for what it was. They also stung us with a "resort fee" on top of our normal room rate for use of the pools, the gym, etc. which would have been ok if we used any of those things. I can't complain about this too much because some people go to these places FOR these things. It's not their fault I didn't take advantage of them. Now it looks like I have nothing but complaints but honestly, the location itslef was nice, the bed was comfortable, the staff was friendly and the trip was very relaxin...
