| - I am going to start off by saying that my family and I are evidently not the prime demographic that Sheraton Desert Oasis Villas caters to. This is not clearly stated in the information that I read while booking our stay through Travelocity. Nevertheless, I would say, overall, our stay was fine, but not what we were expecting. What was described as more of a resort on the Travelocity site is really an extended stay hotel/condo establishment, mainly for snowbirds and retired people. They have no restaurant on the premises (unless you count the snack bar at the pool), but the rooms do have kitchenettes, complete with dishes, dishwasher, and convection ovens. The Desert Oasis appears to be somewhat older but fairly well maintained. There are 1 or 2 play areas for little kids (probably for when the grandkids come to visit) and a very nice large pool, complete with waterfall. They also have events every day, like movies in the office area, etc. After arriving, I soon felt we were about 20-30 years younger than the average tenet, but the price was certainly well within our budget. We were looking for a hotel/resort and got something else, but it worked out fine and our daughter loved the pool and play area. However, I think next time we'll search for something more traditional for a short stay in Scottsdale.
