The Scottsdale plaza resort is very well kept, and it is nice to simply walk the grounds. The location is relatively close to Camelback mountain, which is nice, though the sun has to be pretty low for it to be "in the shadow" of the mountain. The resort is easy to get into and navigate through. The rooms are very nice, though they are slightly crowded in their groups. Swimming pools are available throughout the grounds, though they are all relatively small and plain; much better for relaxing adults than for children. Food is fantastic and reasonable, though not included with the rooms. The staff was excellent the entire time we stayed. Overall we had a wonderful time.
