Basic. But clean and nice. Big pool but being December was too cold. Late Spring probably very nice.

Desk was friendly. Server at dinner was the absolute worst! Extremely rude. Room was clean. Shower door doesn't seal and water goes everywhere. Beds very hard. Great pillows!

Outstanding resort. All of staff was great. We were there for a wedding (at the resort), and that could not have been better either

Scottsdale Plaza Resort
Room was clean, towels were nice and soft! It was difficult to find though as there wasn't clear labels for the office or our room building until you got close. Any road storms showed the villas numbers.
