Wow! Where do I start about the W Scottsdale. I am a frequent traveler and hold Starwood Platinum and Hilton Diamond status. This could quite possibly be one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at the service was top notch from check-in to check-out. This is a newer hotel (only a few years old) and very well maintained. The designers of this hotel seriously deserve an award. The hotel offers several different room layouts and I have to give thanks to Bridget at the front desk who was very sweet and offered an upgrade to a corner studio suite. I also want to recognize John who brought my luggage up and pointed out some of the cool features in the room. The rooms are very stylish and modern, yet incredibly comfortable. My studio suite was actually equipped with a desktop computer (I've never seen that in a hotel before). The wall mounted TV swivels to any angle and was connected to a surround sound system installed in the room. The bathroom has a room divider in case you don't want it open to the room (choice is always good). Oh, and the bed.....the W bed is probably the most comfortable bed in the hotel world. As far as the property is concerned, the pool area is HUGE and located on the second level above the lobby with a bar area adjacent to the pool. I hear the pool parties are wild in the summer. There is also another bar in the main lobby. This place is definitely geared towards a younger crowd. As a full service hotel you will always need to be aware of the extras as you could get nickel and dimed to death if not careful. Thanks for a great stay and I can't wait to return the next time I'm in town.
