My husband and I just returned from a 4 night stay at The Royal Pams and we are huge fans. The grounds are beautiful and the employees are super friendly! I only gave this 4 stars because although the pool was gorgeous, it was really crowded and not nearly enough seating for all the guests. But, we still had a great time and the staff at the pool bar is exceptional. They are very accommodating and even come around to fill up every ones waters so you never have to go to the bar and ask for one.
T Cooks was really good, more impressed with the breakfast than the dinner but dinner was still really good so I highly suggest making some time to dine there.
The room was really nice, pretty standard size room but great bathroom and comfortable bed.
I think that this hotel is in a great location - 2 miles from downtown Scottsdale, a few miles from Camelback and only a 2 hour drive to Sedona. I highly recommend this hotel for a long weekend/romantic getaway.
