I've stayed at a lot of hotels over the years. This DoubleTree in Scottsdale is easily within the top three of hotels I've ever stayed at. I am a big fan of the Hilton brand due to the quality generally being good across the board. This hotel even exceeds the high quality standards. First off this hotel really gives a Hawaiian type feel. The grounds are amazing with green grass that is freshly manicured and nice large palm trees throughout. There are two pools. One pool is more of an adult pool with music and a very relaxed feel. The second pool would be more of a family-type pool. The second pool has a basketball goal and volleyball net in the pool. Adjacent to the second pool they have a large sandy area with play structure for children. Both pools have an attached Cabana bar. The rooms are very spacious and the beds are amazingly comfortable. I have not used the multiple restaurants on site but they are available if anyone needs food. I have used the gym and it has everything any person would need to work out. All the equipment is state-of-the-art and practically brand new. All the parking that I've seen and used is free and easily accessible. And last but not least let's not forget the free DoubleTree cookie. I highly recommend anyone coming to the Phoenix area to book a room at this hotel and take advantage of its many amenities, you will not regret it. My only complaint is I feel the front desk is understaffed. There seems to always be a wait if you need anything from them.
