Score breakdown
How the 90/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom

Food
92Location
93- “Set in the Sonoran Desert, with 360 degree views of the mountain peaks, this remote location is striking by day and night” 4
- “This boutique luxury hotel may not be in the center of everything (far from it - the property is actually in Fountain Hills, about 34 miles northeast of downtown Phoenix), but recent guests say that the resort's remote location is one of its best aspects.” 9
Room
87- “The hotel does encourage guests to use the binoculars and telescope provided in each room, and with stunning views of the surrounding mountain ranges, it should almost be mandatory.” 10
Service
87- “Staff is very accommodating.” 2
- “Although the Adero grew from just a handful of accommodations to 177 guest rooms and suites with the addition of the new tower, you'll still find that the hotel staff will get to know you by name. It always seemed like whoever you ran into in the hallways was ready to point you in the right direction.” 10
