First time staying here, will likely stay again. We love the location-close to Scottsdale, only about 15 minutes front the airport. It's across from a nice mall with Macy's and many other stores and restaurants. My husband's family lives there so we visit often and have stayed other places that were mediocre. He had stayed at the ES Biltmore years ago when it was something else, and it was fabulous then. So, we gave it a try knowing it was at least 20 plus years old and hopefully renovated. we stayed four nights.
Our room was typical ES but updated nicely-LR, BR, one bath,granite throughout. The coffee maker, MW, and fridge worked fine. The beds were in good shape. bath was clean, though the inside door frame had a little rust on the bottom.
So the first night we were there (thurs), loud music played in the bar area until I don't know when; we fell asleep at 10pm after travel from the east coast. ES rooms open up into an interior courtyard. The other nights were quieter.
The food in the hotel restaurant Omaha Steakhouse was delicious! The place was deserted, but I think this was a slow period. Other reviews is had read of itwere good so we tried it and weren't disappointed. We also ate the free breakfast twice and were satisfied.
All in all, I was happy with what we got for the money.

Thank you for the great review! I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay and that you had a chance to try out our Omaha Steakhouse. The food and service are great and as you noticed, it is a pretty well kept secret!
I hope we will see you again soon!
Best Regards,
