When I first entered the W Scottsdale I braced myself for the cheesy club music that I've developed a love-hate relationship with at my home away from home, the W in San Francisco. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), I wasn't greeted with such music at the W Scottsdale.
I was greeted with friendly ladies at the front desk, a spacious room and of course lovely bliss products. During my 48 hours in Scottsdale I didn't spend very much time outside my hotel room, although I did get a few glimpses of the pool. Once while working out in the adequate gym and another time while ordering some grub at the pool bar. While I didn't get to experience the pool "scene" myself this is obviously the place to be.
I've stayed a few other hotels in Scottsdale (Firesky, Valley Ho and my favorite Montelucia). The W suits me well when it comes to work purposes since my office is located in the building behind the W. People may not walk in Scottsdale, but it's so close that it would be pathetic to drive. Looks like this W may end up becoming my home away from home while in Scottsdale.
