I don't have anything truly bad to say about the hotel, but we're not coming back and I wouldn't send anyone I know to this hotel. It's an old hotel in decent condition but completely lacking in style. The ceilings are popcorn, the furniture is a little worn, the "balcony" was concrete block...in fact, the whole place is just heavy concrete painted in bright colors. It feels like a huge motel. Our room was a hike from the lobby and parking lot. Everything is very disjointed. The pools are not anything to rave about and not even anything worth mentioning unless you've never been to another resort in your life. Near our room there was a "sun deck" that consisted of some bare lounge chairs facing a concrete wall on 3 sides. It was the most unappealing sun deck I've ever seen and it became kind of a punch line for the weekend. Again, I don't want my review to be too negative because there is nothing wrong with the hotel per se...it's just old and tired. It lacks any kind of style, vibe or energy. All the staff we encountered were OK. In my opinion, if you're a family from the mid west and you're on a tight budget and want some sun, this is a good option. If you want something new, interesting, "resort-ish", or with energy, either spend a bit more for the big resorts or spend less and just book a budget hotel near a big resort and get a day-pass. I'm really glad we didn't book the rooms with the dining certificate ($50 per night certificate for an extra $20) because we were really happy to get out of the hotel and have meals in town and Scottsdale has a lot of great options for any budget.
