How the 82/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
87- “This particular hotel checked the three most important boxes I look for in a stay: * A good breakfast. The complimentary breakfast buffet boasted an omelette station - something you normally only see at a high-end golf resort. * A powerful shower with good water pressure. * A comfy bed.” 1
- “The counterspace in the bathroom was adequate for two people and there was a small, lighted mirror for doing makeup - but this space would get very small, very fast if say, a few girls were getting ready for a wedding in here.” 14
Location
92- “Its located in the heart of Scottsdale within an easy walking distance of shopping and more. We did a quick Facebook video walkthrough of our suite when we first arrived that shows how awesome their newly renovated rooms are.” 7
- “It's ideally located just on the outskirts of the Old Town, which is the dining and entertainment hub of the city -- its restaurants, shops, and galleries are within a 15-minute walk.” 13
Room
85- “Since that time, we have stayed at the Hilton Marina (totally enjoyed our stay, room was spotless and the ships are right in your backdoor!).” 8
- “The room was beautifully decorated and designed with lots of thoughtful touches to be found. There were cotton balls, q-tips, and makeup remover wipes in the bathroom, plush robes hanging in the closet, the soaps were all "upgraded" from the usual ones we find in Hilton hotels (and yes, we are Hilton Diamond Members, so we've stayed at a lot of them), and there was even a steamer in the closet.” 14
Service
87- “We found the staff at the Scottsdale Resort and Spa very friendly and very helpful. From the moment we checked in, to our interactions as we got food, to whenever we had a question about trying to find the Social Boardroom - they were happy to help in any way.” 14

- “The bathroom boasted a beautifully tiled, walk-in shower, but upon closer examination, it did have some mold in the corners and corrosion on the shower heads. I know this is almost unavoidable at hotels, but still, it was slightly disappointing considering that this is a AAA Four-Diamond Resort that just went through a major renovation and upgrade.” 14
- “The counterspace in the bathroom was adequate for two people and there was a small, lighted mirror for doing makeup - but this space would get very small, very fast if say, a few girls were getting ready for a wedding in here.” 14

- “The price for ES has continued to be higher in the past couple of years. Our last two stays at ES were not good. Customer service was not good and when we arrived the last time at 8pm at night, we walked into a dirty room that hadn't been cleaned. :(” 8
- “The resort's grounds are lushly landscaped, and there's a large pool with private cabanas, but expect a hefty daily resort fee.” 13

- “The furniture was worn badly.” 8
- “Avoid room 221. They had us there initially and it's an absolute dungeon that smelled like mildew.” 10

- “Comfortable, contemporary rooms feature flat-screen TVs and iPod docks, but you'll have to pay for parking, breakfast, and in-room Wi-Fi.” 13
- “The WiFi in our room was quick and reliable so I was able to get some work done during our downtime.” 7

- “I will note that if you are staying at the Scottsdale Resort and Spa and find yourself looking for a small dessert item or a sweet treat, I highly recommend getting a cookie from Barnaby's.

- “Grounds are immaculate, the main pool is one of the liveliest in the Phoenix area, rooms are stylish and colorful, and the restaurant serves tasty food.” 13
