W Scottsdale Hotel, Scottsdale

The hotel room, though on the smaller side, was comfortable and had all the usual amenities you'd expect. However, it didn't offer good views despite requests as a gold member. The large and nice room was a plus, but being near a Hyatt House might be quieter and more affordable.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and had a nice 'bar/kitchenette' as well as 3 bathrooms, but they started to smell badly of smoke halfway through the trip, and the staff didn't offer to move us to a different room, which made the experience unpleasant. The location was convenient, near a lively area with shops and restaurants, but the view of a power substation from the pool was off-putting.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was lively right next to some bar/clubs, providing great nightlife opportunities, but that also meant it was loud at times. The rooms had a strong smoke smell that was not resolved when we raised the issue, although we did receive a complimentary upgrade eventually. Offsite dining was available at the W with fresh local products, but not directly at the hotel. Despite the noise and room odor, the central location and vibrant surroundings were a plus.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were cozy but a bit small, and they offered complimentary water alongside other drinks and snacks for a price. On the bright side, the rooms were well-equipped with luxurious features like 2 rooms, 3 bathrooms, walk-in closets, a sub-zero kitchen, and a complete renovation.

The hotel is like a dormitory with no separate bathroom area, smack dab overlooking an alley and parking lot. Although there are complimentary water and drinks for a price, the room lacks a balcony and fresh air, making it not ideal for an extended stay.
