"⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Great Vibes, A Few Things to Know
My daughter and I stayed here as the finale of a spontaneous mother-daughter Arizona trip and it delivered.
The front desk staff were exceptional — greeted us warmly every single time we passed through the lobby. That genuine hospitality made a huge difference.
Our main tower room had a pool-view balcony facing east — we caught a stunning sunrise! Beds are low but comfortable. The shower runs extremely hot, so first-timers beware (we loved it).
The pool scene is everything — lively, fun, easy to grab lounge chairs even at 100°F+. We lucked into a free Shop & Sip event with wine samples, and ZuZu's Saturday brunch was delicious.
The frustration: pool bar closes at 6pm — way too early. After that you're forced inside, but you can't enter wet or in a swimsuit. On a busy Friday night that's a real inconvenience. The pool drinks we did have were weak in both flavor and alcohol.
Small notes: towels took 30 minutes, weekend pool drinking requires ID for a wristband, and valet is $30.
Overall a stylish, fun Scottsdale stay. Fix the pool bar hours and drinks and this is easily five stars."
