At first I was surprised to see this hotel only has a 2.5 star average, but then I saw the crown that the pool area brings in. D-bag central! In all fairness to the hotel, the hotel and pool area should have separate reviews because the hotel itself is a very nice place.
I arrived on a Sunday and the people at the front desk were very friendly and they even were gracious enough to call me after I checked in to see if there is anything else they can do for me. I know they do this for every guest, but it does make you feel a tad more welcomed.
The hotel room was very modern, the bed was a king size with very cozy pillows, sheets and comforter. It had a large walk in shower and not your typical sardine can sized shower in most other hotels. The room also had a nice 32" LCD along with quite a few channels to choose. I was about to rent a movie on demand, but the $16 price tag put a stop to that!
Overall, I was very happy with the stay. The room, food and TV entertainment were a it expensive, but I'm sure most higher end hotels in Scottsdale are the same.
