| - Love this place. My wife and I stayed over Easter weekend and were really impressed. Upon arrival, you've got two parking options - valet or self-park. Most hotels of this caliber don't offer self-park and if they do, it's typically a hike from the lot to the hotel. Not so with The Scott. The lot is open and the closest spots are no more than 30 yards from the main building. Valets, whether or not you choose to park with them, are friendly, welcoming and helpful.
Check-in was seamless and friendly. It couldn't have taken more than five minutes from the time we approached the desk to the time we were handed room keys. One other note on parking: Our room was on the opposite side of the property from the main lot. You do have the option to pull your car around the building and closer to your room if you'd like. For us, the main parking lot was still so close that we simply walked our bags to the room, which, was clean with a beautiful view of the grounds, which transport guests from the bustle of one of greater Phoenix's bustling nightlife hubs to a quiet oasis.
The restaurant menu is a fusion of Caribbean-influenced dishes featuring fresh ingredients. One of the standout features is how tight the menu is. I like options as much as anyone, but at some point dishes begin to overlap and become unnecessary. The Scot has done a good job editing the menu. Recommended dishes: Shrimp ceviche; quinoa and arugula salad; doughnut holes. Drinks are extremely solid and, like the food menu, lean island-y; Hemingway Daiquiri, Cubano Viejo, El Floridita, etc. If you like rum, look no further.
Summary: Family friendly, but still quiet; top-notch hospitality; quality food and drink; convenience to everything Scottsdale has to offer. Enjoy!
