| - A hip and trendy hotel. I stayed here with the bf this past weekend. We arrived early at 11am on Saturday and they welcomed us into our room immediately! (we didn't even have to wait for the 3pm check-in) :-D I instantly noticed the sultry house music playing throughout the hotel-extra points! I love house music and it set a great ambiance! The room was spacious enough for 2 people, bed was sooo comfy we took multiple afternoon naps. The staff was super friendly and always very helpful; they even knew me by my last name, and greeted me every time I passed by the lobby, which I thought was a great personal touch. The bartenders are also really nice, love to chat with the patrons and can make a great cocktail. It didn't hurt that they serve happy hr from 4-7 either!
The hotel is definitely for the younger, partying crowd. Which I didn't mind because I knew I wanted a trendier hotel with a great location to restaurants, bars, clubs, and shopping. On Saturday nights, you can hear the partiers on the street level, even from our room which was located on the top floor; but the hotel provides earplugs and I usually fall asleep to the tv anyway, so it didn't bother me. The pool was my only disappointment--it's very small and only has a limited amount of lounge chairs for tanning. I had to go down and check every hour for 3 hours to see if there was an empty lounge chair I could lay on. I recommend going to the pool early to snag a chair otherwise you'll be SOL like me.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay here. It was easily comparable to my stay at the W-Scottsdale last year, if not better, and most definitely better than the Theodore (formerly the James Hotel) down the road. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to my friends looking for a fun and hip vibe.
