We arrived to a very dated hotel that did not have the amenities their website said they had. Our room was old and in the back although the entire place was practically vacant. When we addressed the issues with the front desk, we were told they didn't know what was in their website so we showed them. They said it was false advertising, no restaurant, no bar, old rooms with no microwaves or DVD players unless we asked for them. Weeds growing by the pool, so we cancelled our last 2 nights & moved immediately to a Hyatt. Luckily the manager refunded our 2 nights probably to shut us up since she said she "couldn't build us a place to eat". In short, don't waste your money because you will leave feeling cheated & blamed for trusting the Scottsdale Resort & Athletic Clubs website. Bait & switch at its best!
I stayed here for 3 nights while attending a conference in the area. The rooms and grounds were very nice and well maintained with lots of amenities. The staff were very nice and friendly. They provided great customer service. This is more of a family business than a chain and the atmosphere is very laid back. I felt very much at home while staying here and recommend this hotel!
1 night stay. Great location, room was comfortable. The hotel was empty and was unable to check in early. The pool needed cleaning as there was a lot of debris.
We stayed here for one week while attending an event at Westworld. The location was perfect for getting easily from the airport to the hotel to Westworld and to the many great hiking opportunities in the area. Staff was friendly, pool was nice, room was clean and comfortable. Nice, big bathroom and very comfortable mattress were much appreciated. If you stay here, don't miss Goldman's Deli in the Albertson's plaza within walking distance of the hotel.
Needed: Light BulbS, Serious dusting, Draino & Bed
Went to Scottsdale for a week of spring training. locatin was perfect for our venues. Ate at continental breakfast a couple of days. Basic service, cereal,yogurt, juice, coffee and danish. Did not eat at athletic club on site restraunt. however did work out at athletic club daily, mostly tennis, but had all ammeneties, weights, machines, cardio, & pool
This place worked out perfectly for me. Smooth check in, clean room, free wi fi, work out facilities, morning breakfast....plus a good rate right in Scottsdale. While the door to your room is accessed externally, it would not be a deterrent for me if making travel plans to the area again. A great deal of attention was paid to the furnishings and finishes....more upscale than expected!
I really enjoied this place. A welcoming place. Everythign was modern, well kept up, and it was just an excellent experience.
I was expecting more being in Scottsdale, Old TV, just basic cable, internet didn't work. Not what I saw on on line. I would not stay on this resort for this price.
Overall it was an ok experience. It was kind of weird though getting a check out call at 11AM in the morning. First time a hotel has ever called me to make sure I am checking out.
The listing said that rooms featured Roman Style Jacuzzi tubs, but fails to mention that they are available only if you purchase the Villa which is over twice the price of the room rate listed (which said special price). Rooms were clean, but plain jane. Could have gone to La Quinta and got a better room with more features. Continental breakfast featured day old bagels and pastries and some boxes of cereal (again better at La Quinta or other hotels). Live band at the bar consisted of a guy with a keyboard and a drummer one night, and a guy with a keyboard and a singer the next. Music was lounge lizard quality and the youngest people there were in their 70's and there were only about 8 or 10 of them. Bartender did not know how to make mixed drinks and my wifes Vodka and cranberry juice was so bad she couldn't even finish half of it. Hotel was practically empty I think there was only 1 couple sharing a room on the side that I was on. Maybe 5 cars in the parking lot....Sad because it could be such a nice place. Pretty bad that it's that empty during the holiday season.
I needed to get away and unwind for the weekend but didnt want to go far from home. I had a great time and would go back !
Perfect for running, biking, hiking, swimming....make your own food....great training place. Quiet little paradise:)
The front desk staff was very helpful & accommodating. My standard room was ready before the scheduled 4pm check-in time. It was very clean, & the bed was very comfortable. Plenty big for 2 people, not spending a lot of time in the room. For families, a suite would make more sense. The location is great for walking, golfing & a variety of restaurants for dining.
If you love tennis then this is the place for you. If you are on a standard business trip this place is less attractive. The check in process was time consuming - what normally takes 2 minutes took over 20 with this hotel and lack of staffing. The continental breakfast was a complete joke. Canned fruit in a salad bowl, some not so fresh bagels and cold cereal. Most continental breakfasts would have fresh fruit, yogurt and either donuts or pastries or muffins - not so here. The grounds are nice and the pool is nice. There wasn't a lot that stuck out except for the unlimited use of the gym and tennis courts, if you have time for those and enjoy them then this could be the place for you.
We had a very nice stay at this location. The free access to the fitness center next door was a major plus. One down side was thier pool was not heated but the fitness center lap pool was so it made up for that. If you are looking for a nice quiet time this is the place. we would stay there again.
The Scottsdale Resort and Athletic club featured a comfortable room, good size bath and easy access to a fairly decent, large pool and hot tub. Very quiet atmosphere in this out of the way resort. Did not try the tennis rackets court (lots of them) or the health club due to short stay and visiting our son at ASU-but all was nearby. Room air was blowing hard though - cooled off nice though. Close proximity to restaurants and shops = very convenient. Good service and welcoming reception! Would stay there again. Sparky Bob
Exterior was a little dated but the room was very nice. They upgraded us and the room had a kitchen with refrigerator, dishwasher, etc, a dining area, nice living area, patio with table and chairs. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was large with a jetted tub. Large pool and the athletic club was also very nice. Not sure what the regular rooms are like but ours was great.
I looked for a house to buy, and also it was a wonderful vacation time for me.
Location 3 minutes to the 101. Rooms were updated and clean with very comfortable bed, and the Athletic Club was great. If you workout when you travel, this place is terrific.
