The Scott is one of my favorite, most relaxing places in earth. I'm not sure what all the hate is about. We recently visited The Scott as part of a family Spring Training vacation. The room, while older in style, was spacious, comfortable, and had a beautiful pool view. The grounds are not traditional resort with sprawling pool space after pool space - it's more of a rectangle of two-story 50s style motel buildings with a great courtyard pool and lagoon in the middle, but the space is amazingly beautiful and comfortable. Great touches like water fountains and outdoor fireplaces provide places to enjoy the cool Arizona night. And the lobby building is spectacular. I can't wait to see what The Scott will look like once they do renovate all of the rooms and grounds - I'm sure it will be even more incredible.
