Your room that you get is not like the pictures. Rooms need updating and new new paint. Not a good place for seniors to stay has it far from the main office. Roseanne at the front desk was very crumpy when we checked in, but thanks to Tony he made our stay more pleasureable. Would not recommend this place. More

This hotel was chosen for us - our team hotel for a soccer tournament and I was dreading what we were going to find after reading alot of the reviews here. Arriving just before 10pm, we were greeted by a very pleasant receptionist, after driving from the lobby to the guest parking, a "porter" took us (& our luggage) by... More

The Scottsdale Cottonwoods Resort was decent, but I wouldn't go back. I was impressed by the main office and it set me up for great expectations for the rooms, that never came to fruition. The rooms are like bungalows with private entrances, and similar to your personal bungalow. But the rooms are very far from the main office, and from... More

We paid over $200 for the suite room upgrade. I can't imagine what the downgrade looks like. This is nothing more than a lower tier hotel and ignore any of the "resort" advertising. If you need a place to stay for a night that is not nice, this is the spot. However, do not waste your money upgrading bc there... More

I spent 5 nights here for our annual sales meeting in January 2012. The rooms need remodeling, there is no doubt about that, but the rooms are clean and the staff is very attentive and responsive. I have to say this: I spend over 100 nights a year in hotels, and this was the most comfortable hotel bed I have... More

My husband and I stayed at the Cottonwoods Resort in the Scottsdale area for New Years Eve weekend. After checking in, driving to casita area and hauling our luggage across a large, winding courtyard area, we entered our room only to find it with a bad odor and the room a complete mess, not cleaned and with trash everywhere.

Travelled to Scottsdale during the winter months.. Positives Super clean. Awesome location. BEAUTIFUL hotel "grounds". Our luggage was misplaced by the airline and the hotel staff was more than happy to accomodate. Rooms are huge, clean, and up to date. Negatives Bike rental was something like $35 an hour, crazy. Overall awesome place to stay, super luxury at amazing prices.... More

Off season rates make this very attractive for an enjoyable and relaxing getaway. The property is ideally located.Trader Joe's is next door and there are good restaurants nearby. Check out My Sister's Closet only if you're prepared to bring an extra suitcase! The property is a bit dated, but that's part of its charm, and to me, typical of many... More
