Bathroom
84- “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 showerheads. I know this is almost unavoidable at hotels, but still it was slightly disappointing considering that this is a AAA 4 diamond resort that just went through a major renovation and upgrade.” 613:27

- “The people were nice, but we thought the resort and unit were mid-tier.” 1
- “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.” On camera615:00
- “Shortly after one of the receptionists approaches me to confirm this. He then tells me it's required that both of us are here even though I was told otherwise. He also said some lame "well this makes it fun for me" thing that soured my mood.” 2
- “The main restaurant is called La Fogata Restaurant, and it is beautiful. We had dinner there out on the patio, and the food was delicious.” On camera69:45
- “The balcony is a great place that seats four, whether to share a meal or sip on morning coffee.” 3
- “In my opinion, the most luxurious boutique hotel is The Sanctuary on McDonald Drive. It is on the side of Camelback Mountain, with an exceptional view, plus an exquisite dining room commanded by master chef, Beau McMillan.” 4
- “Another nice feature of the Suite was the separate dining room, allowing groups to have a "sit down" meal like at home.” 3
- “Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort. This one has my nomination for best restaurant at a HIlton.” 4
- “I would also love staying at Sanctuary in Paradise Valley. Elements is one of my favorite restaurants for our Anniversaries.” 4
- “The food was insanely fresh, obviously cooked right then and there for us, and it was so good.” On camera69:58
- “The main restaurant is called La Fogata Restaurant, and it is beautiful. We had dinner there out on the patio, and the food was delicious. It was pricey, but I feel like that's to be expected at an upscale hotel restaurant.” On camera69:45
- “Outside of the main sitown restaurant, there is the poolside bar called Twisted Vine. That's where we had lunch. The menu is lighter and more of what you would expect from a poolside bar. Sandwiches, tacos, salads, but it was still really fresh and really delicious.” On camera610:34
- “And despite a few events taking place around the resort during our stay, our room was extremely quiet and very peaceful.” On camera614:12
- “The balcony is a great place that seats four, whether to share a meal or sip on morning coffee. There's also a walk-in closet perfect for storing luggage. I really liked the closet size, which made my Suite feel less like a hotel, where luggage ends up spread around the room.” 3
- “And trust me, this always catches us off guard no matter how many times we visit just how dry it is and how much water we need to drink. We stayed in a one king bed standard room and it was huge.” On camera612:39
- “And despite a few events taking place around the resort during our stay, our room was extremely quiet and very peaceful. We had two couches in our room and our TV was definitely one of the largest we have ever had in a hotel room.” On camera614:12
