Scottsdale Marriott at McDowell Mountains

If I could give this hotel a zero I would. I stayed here 2/28-3/2. They overcharge me for an additional room of over $900.00. As of today, 4/7, I still do not have my credit. Be extremely careful when checking out. Check your statement closely. They will offer to email the receipt to you. DO NOT DO THIS!!! Request a paper copy. Once they have your credit card to charge, you will never get a correction.

I was concerned about the hotel based on the reviews. But since I had not picked it I was ready to go and have a good attitude about it. I was very pleasantly surprised. The room was dated and the sheer curtains were torn at the edges. This would seem to be a quick fix for the management team. But the room was clean and comfortable. The staff is great. We did not encounter an unfriendly staff member. The shuttle service was a nice bonus. The conference rooms were modern and comfortable. The food served to us at the conference and in the restaurant was very good. The views of the golf course were nice. The hotel is in the flight path of a small airport. But we enjoyed watching the small planes coming and going. There were no large planes so the noise was not bad. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

This is a great pet-friendly hotel with very friendly service. My husband and I were traveling with our two dogs, so we got a "1 Bedroom Deluxe Suite, 1 King, Sofa bed, Golf/Pool view, Balcony" room, which was on the ground floor with direct access to a nice outdoor area for walking the dogs. It had a beautiful view of the golf course too. We had dinner and breakfast on the terrace at the restaurant, and it was a perfect place to go with the dogs. They also had a delicious white wine by the glass: Conundrum. I would definitely stay here again; highly recommend!

This hotel is geared towards golfing, and it might be fine if that’s the only reason you’re there but there are plenty of problems. The front desk staff were very nice, the bright spot in my experience there. The hotel is located directly under a flight path for the nearby airport, so planes are passing regularly right overhead as they land. My room had rips in the curtains, a bathroom fan that did not go off and bedroom lamps that didn’t work. The hotel’s entrance and walkway from the parking lot reek of cigar and cigarette smoke as it seems there’s a smoking area there. I was told on check in that the $30 facilities fee could be applied to any hotel purchase, yet when I checked the next morning about using it for breakfast I was told it actually is only valid at night, not in the morning. Nonsensical. All this for just under $500 a night. Plenty of better options.

This was a very disappointing “resort” stay. SO OUTDATED, needs a major update. The restaurant is a joke, the tap was broken, no draft beer. Our first room was dirty and had a huge bug on the floor. We did move to another room, which was better. We won’t stay or recommend this Marriott property.
