Cottonwoods Resort is spread out over 25 acres. Parking is FREE but the parking lots are a distance from the rooms. The grounds are well maintained from a landscaping perspective however there is some deferred maintenance (painting, plaster peeling) that if performed could improve the slightly worn look of the resort. The rooms are huge for today's standard, all with private outdoor space which I really enjoyed. The rooms were clean, the beds were of good quality... linens and bathroom amenities were just fine. The upholstered furniture in the rooms looks like they should have been replaced a good year ago... the TV's are old style thick units in armoires. Internet service was great. The pool was awesome. They have two... one mega large one with incredible in ground spa and one smaller residential one with another in ground spa. The larger pool had an outside bar and was staffed. The Youngman working the bar also kept the pool area clean which really added greatly to the experience. He made great drinks and snacks at the bar. Pool towels were supplied. The pool was heated and best of all were the pool hours 6AM to Midnight!!! The staff was pleasant, business center worked fine and the location is the best... so close to everything Scottsdale has to offer. The rates at this property are really value priced considering all the good the resort has to offer. If you can deal with the lack of touch up painting (inside & out), slightly worn furniture and drapes that have seen better days.... this place is great. They're PET friendly... especially to the rabbit population that calls the resort home. They have a resort fee... which always annoys me..... JUST CHARGE ME A FAIR RATE THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING!!! However that practice is industry standard and this fee for this hotel is pretty low at $15. I had a great time and would definitely stay here again.
