Nice mid-range family-friendly smaller hotel property.
Highlights:
- Jacuzzi tub: one of my favorite things ever. This one had one surrounded by a 1/4 pie shaped rounded capsule because it also was a shower. In the larger room my cuz was in, it had a heart shaped one which I loved!
- Pool: good size with a waterfall on one end and a jacuzzi hidden underneath the rocks. Loved that it was heated since we went at a cooler time of the year.
- Rooms: nicely decorated with southwestern theme (Kokopelli all around) and clean. I thought it may be old and dated from reviews, but it was not.
- Playgrounds: 2 on the premises with fake grass which I liked so little ones can crawl around
- Free wi-fi: always like that
- Themed courtyards by vegetation: we were palm which was my favorite
Lowlights:
- Bed and sheets: not quite heavenly and sheets were pretty rough
- No restaurant: this is a nice to have for breakfast and such
- Room service: limited menu just til 4
- Loudest toilet flush: not the biggest deal but we had our baby with us so we were worried it'd wake him at night
Our favorite family-friendly Scottsdale hotel is the Westin Kierland which is a bigger, more elaborate resort property, but we'd come back here again if that's booked.
