I was a day visitor to the spa and pool, so I can't comment on the rooms. I loved this place! Starting with the valet staff, everyone I encountered were very friendly and efficient. The fitness room looked good, well stocked with good equipment and a view of the outside and it appeared clean. The spa itself is on the smaller side, but every inch was inviting and clean. My massage therapist Jennifer was an experienced pro and gave a really good massage - far above the quality you'd get at a strip mall (so locals should give this spa a try). Before and after, I was able to enjoy the salt water lap pool - very relaxing. I love the decor of this whole place - totally and originally retro chic.And the second floor hallways are lined with photos of the movie stars that had stayed there in the past, along with vintage memorabilia. Reminded me of the original Sands hotel in Vegas before they put up the Venetian. The public spaces like the front reception, lounge were very inviting and I definitely want to go back with friends for dinner/drinks. I spoke to guests by the pool and they said the rooms were retro but renovated and they were repeat visitors who loved the location (walkable to downtown Scottsdale) and the hotel itself.
