If you want a party hotel this is your jam! If not, move along, and do so swiftly! My husband and I thought it would be a nice spot for a staycation. The W is in a great location for walking, shopping, and all the old town Scottsdale activities. We've stayed at W Hotels before and were spoiled with spectacular service and views so that could be clouding my feelings for this location. Location and cleanliness are the only positives from this stay.
The restroom offers VERY little privacy so be sure you are staying alone or with people you are cool sharing that time with. Everywhere you go, you hear the bass from loud music, the walls are thin enough that even if you didn't hear the bass, your eardrums are beaten to death by the drunken party crowd coming back in from 1:30a-4a. All this heard while wearing earplugs...
Top that off with the nickel and dime fees EVERYWHERE and don't necessarily get you anything (re pet fee $125+ just for pet access, we didn't get anything with it). This just wasn't my cup of tea. But hey, if you are in the party scene, this place will set you up for success!
