Recently stayed here for a weekend with a couple girlfriends and we were very happy with our choice. The staff was always super friendly and offered many recommendations for places to eat, fun bars to check out, etc. They really went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time in town. The pool is small, but during our three day stay we were literally the only people out there, so laying out in the sun without crowds of people around was actually really nice. On our final night we even decided to not use our beds at all and spent all night/morning at the pool, with permission from the front desk attendant, who just asked that we not be too loud and turned on the fireplace for us when it got a bit chilly. We split our time between Mill Ave and Old Town Scottsdale and this location was a happy medium to get to both areas fairly easily. I'd definitely stay in an Aloft hotel again based on my experience here.
