- “I will say - everything was renovated and lovely but it still felt like a cheaper hotel in the sense that I could hear freaking everything happening next door to us and that is one of my biggest gripes with hotels.” 8
- “And despite a few events taking place around the resort during our stay, our room was extremely quiet and very peaceful.” On camera214:12
- “The 126 rooms sport a trendy, minimalist motif, which can either feel stylish or sterile, depending on perspective. Rooms can get noisy on the weekends, too.” 18

- “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 camera215:00
- “However, I sent a message to the hotel to inquire if they had these and by the time we got back from our golf day, they'd delivered two razors and full-sized shaving cream cannisters to the room. A really nice touch of service that is sometimes hard to find in North American hotels.” 17

- “Stayed 3 nights at Westin Kierland (loved it and had great service) and 4 nights at the Phoenician (terrible pool side service and unattentive bell desk service).” 16

- “The food and drink are, in my opinion, above average for quality (and cost).” 12
- “We mainly go for the pool, spa services, location, and luxury vibes. We stayed at Sanctuary two years ago and were in love with it and loved that it was more adult focused. But it's so much more pricey now than before.” 12
- “My husband and I decided on The four seasons because it does look like its in the desert. And all rooms have a fireplace and a small patio. Plus the rates are fantastic right now.” 16

- “The Hyatt Place Scottsdale Old Town has nice suites at reasonable prices.” 5
- “Daily resort fees are pricey, but they cover perks like bicycles, a local area shuttle, valet parking, and Wi-Fi.” 18
- “The property had a small gift shop which had a variety of souvenirs, clothing, convenience items, snacks, and more. Everything was quite overpriced as to be expected, but still very nice to have something like this available should you find yourself in a pinch.” 17
- “This property used to be called the Cottenwood. It's a great location and for the price winter $319 and summer (we were there in July) $199. You can't beat it!” 16
- “Phoenician is nice but might seem a little outdated, ritz-carlton paradise valley is the modern option but very expensive.” 9
- “And all this for about half the price that we paid last year at Hilton Embassy Suites here.” 4
- “The staff is super, the maintenance of the units beyond excellent, and the rates are more than reasonable for the value received.” 4
- “You could maybe get some warm enough days in March. Also as others mentioned, the Christmas stuff at the Princess would be best to avoid. It's so overpriced and chaotic during that time.” 8
- “The Courtyard by Marriott Scottsdale at Salt River has good rates.” 5
- “This hotel definitely exudes prestige appropriate for its price point, although rooms aren't quite as luxe as one might expect at a hotel of this caliber.” 18
- “The resort's grounds are lushly landscaped, and there's a large pool with private cabanas, but expect a hefty daily resort fee.” 18
- “While there were little complaints with the resort's facilities, guests had a bone to pick with the rooms. Many felt the rooms, which feature Wi-Fi access (for a fee) and iHome docking stations, were outdated and in need of a renovation.” 1

- “The buffet wasn't extravagant but had some solid options including an egg and omelet station, freshly made pancakes, french toast, and waffles. This was a highlight of the breakfast for me.” 17
- “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.” 18
- “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 camera29:45
- “Regular DJ events, a fine-dining sushi restaurant, and cavernous lighting have given the hotel a reputation around town as a place to be, but the noise levels (especially on weekends) may turn off some travelers.” 18
- “Aside from that, there was a nice selection of pastries, fruits, cold meats, dry starches like toast and bagels, perfectly crispy bacon, sausages, and hashbrowns.” 17
- “the property also offers one of the most amazing breakfast buffets as part of the Rita's restaurant if you're Platinum lead in higher with Merit you do get two of these complimentary every morning I do have to say it was some of the best hash brown potatoes I've ever had and the selection was just tremendous with even an omelette Chef who could make an omelette or eggs for you” On camera63:54
- “Talavera sources food locally and obtains the highest quality ingredients possible. This translates into great taste-farm fresh food is always better and the flavors pop right out at you. Talavera is a popular Scottsdale restaurant that draws people who are not staying at the hotel as well as guests.” 11
- “Unfortunately, the creamer packets that came with the coffee were not good and formed a chunky mixture upon mixing with the coffee. As a result, I stuck with black coffee during my stay.” 17
- “I also prefer the restaurants at the Princess more. Bourbon Steak and La Hacienda are both decent and the brunch at Ironwood is good.” 8
- “Cabanas are complimentary, and staff will check on you throughout your time at the pool, offering food and beverages from the outdoor restaurant, Suagaro Blossom, which serves yummy drinks and light fare alfresco.” 11

- “It was great to be completely walkable to so many restaurants. Their breakfast was very good, especially for a Westin. The omelette bar was a highlight and staff always got us to go coffees at the end of our meal, which was a really nice extra service.” 8
- “Never used the spa but the food is good” 12
- “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 camera210:34
- “Dessert Cart in the lobby in the evenings where she also got excited to pick a treat from. We only ate breakfast in the hotel (and lunch at the pool) but it was very good - it's across the street from a shopping area that has some good restaurants.” 8

- “The food and drink are, in my opinion, above average for quality (and cost). Didn't do any other stuff there during our stay.” 12

- “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.

- “Got married at mountain shadows in 2023, it's a legit location because it's still got a lot of the 1950/1960s vibes it had before the remodel.” 12
- “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.” 18

- “I've actually stayed at the Motel 6 on Camelback about 10 years ago, it's a much better choice location wise than the other.” 5

- “SPS is ideally situated, next to the park and close to the grocery store.” 4

- “I agree some of the rooms can be downright gloomy (they once had us facing a wall), but the resort has so many different styles of rooms, you can just ask to see another room (although it is a haul from some of the rooms back to front desk!) ...or upgrade to a room with a balcony or better yet, a villa (which we had for our wedding)...I am sure they will be very accomodating in August!” 16
