If the pool is a priority, ask in advance about access policies for your dates and the pricing for cabanas/daybeds, as some guests report restrictions and high poolside costs. The location makes it easy to walk to Scottsdale Fashion Square (494 m) and nearby dining and bars, so a car may be optional for Old Town-area plans.

Comfort touches like a comfortable bed and fast hot water in the shower come up as positives.

Food and presentation at the pool receive mixed feedback, even when service is well regarded.
