Very elegant resort, many amenities that they can offer. The resort has cool and nice function. It was good for big events, like wedding, birthdays, meetings and more.. The place was really outstanding.. Price has its reason..

My husband and I go to the Scottsdale, Arizona area at least once a year. We stayed at the this hotel in January '08 and we definitely haved mixed feelings about the hotel. First of all, I think this hotel is better suited to business travelers. We certainly saw tons of "suits" at the lobby. Of course, seeing suits is absolutely normal to see, but when 98% of the guests seem to be wearing one, then you'll also quickly get the point that this is the market they seem to be focising on, or at least this is the majority of their clientele, period. So ok, we felt funny being some of the handful of people who were wearing casual gear - by this, I mean mostly white linen clothes, you know, resort wear. Strike one. Another problem is their location. Most of the other resorts who cater to pleasure-seeking travelers are located well-away from the hustle and bustle portion or Arizona. This hotel is directly in front of the mall, right smack in the middle of traffic-world.
