"It's part of Marriott's JW luxury brand, and mostly lives up to expectations, but prices seem a bit high considering decor is a tad generic and signs of age are starting to show." Full review

Although they cost a bit extra, the pool-view rooms are worth requesting.
Gayot "Although...on busy Scottsdale Road, 22 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds do a good job of blocking out traffic noise. Spacious, well-furnished rooms have private balconies or patios."
Star Service "Visually arresting, the two-story resort has a porte cochere marked by a life-sized bronze statue of galloping horses. " Full review
