Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia
Room clean, big bathroom was nice and room size good. Liked the different seating areas with fire pits, private pool and jacuzzi nice. I did not like that you were charged for daily parking. Parking should come with the costs for the room as the hotel is on higher end.

Arizona Biltmore, LXR Hotels & Resorts
Beautiful stay at the Biltmore. Staff is over the top and customer service. The only thing that could be improved was that we stayed in an older part of the hotel that I believe needs to be updated.
