First, the good: the location is great--within easy walking distance of downtown Scottsdale, the mall, and plenty of awesome restaurants. The breakfast includes freshly cooked eggs and either bacon or sausage each morning. The employees were all very nice.
The bad: it is directly across the street from the very popular (and VERY LOUD) W Hotel and outdoor pool party--which happened pretty much each day and night, which included plenty of police activity as well. The gym is tiny and not well equipped.
The ugly: the beds are quite possibly some of the least comfortable I've ever slept on. The AC blows directly down on your face, no matter where you try to hide. And when you book through Expedia (or any other outside booking site) they do not honor your room type request--confirmed a King and got two queens instead.
We definitely overpaid for the room and hotel type--but it was the last weekend of Spring Training and of Spring Break--so, I am sure the rooms across Scottsdale would be more reasonable at a different time.
