Stayed there for a professional conference this past week. The rooms were very well appointed with modern furnishings. Everything looked new. I think the hotel is only three years old? Beds were comfortable and pillows were nice and firm. Lighting in the room was a little muted with all the recessed lights. All in all, I give the room 4.5 stars. \nStaff was very friendly and courteous from the front desk to the bartenders to the housekeeping staff. The banquet staff was also very good during our dinner and breaks during the meeting.\nOrange Sky was probably the highlight of my dining experience there. Located near or on the top floor, you have a great view of the sunset (hence orange sky), they had a nice jazz trio playing. Wait staff was also top notch. We had an English lady (maybe Scottish- we had some disagreement and forgot to ask her). She was very good at explaining the menu and was attentive all evening. Everyone on our table had either the rib eye, New York strip or scallops. We shared three sides- brussel sprouts, baked potato and asparagus. Overall meal and experience here was 4.5 of five stars.\nThe only low points were the gaming area (small area for card games, and REALLY smoky) and the rest of the food. The buffet was nothing special. It's an okay deal for $14. They try to provide a variety of foods (Asian, Mexican, Mediterranean, carving table). Offerings were all average but nothing really stood out. \nOur banquet dinner was disappointing. I chose the pork roast. It was a HUGE serving, two pieces with a chipotle or other pepper sauce. Pork was dry, tough and lacked flavor. On a positive note, the iceberg wedge was very good. The only thing that would have made it better would have been bacon.\nAll in all, a very positive experience. There was a huge pool party going on when I checked it but things quieted down by 6pm. \nBlue Coyote downstairs was interesting. Menu offered sushi, Chinese food, burgers and sandwiches. I opted for the chicken and fried rice. For around $8, it was a good deal. Tasty and a fair portion.\nI would recommend this place overall. The general meeting rooms as well as the breakout rooms are good. Staff and facilities are also very good. \nI don't know when I'll be back in Scottsdale/ Phoenix but hopefully it won't be in 108 degree weather.
