Hotel W Scottsdale (Scottsdale, USA)

This is a 'good time' hotel; perfectly designed to cater for partying groups and all those out to party. There's a great flow from bars to restaurants, resulting in a fun, party atmosphere throughout. The policy is adults only .. with grownups behaving like children sometimes!

They're super efficient, friendly and - as the party progresses - patient! Management have their eye on the ball too and the occasional complimentary bottle of fizzing happy water encourages more spending at the bar.

The sushi restaurant is a 'must' - just great. Then, the pool, with two busy bars, is the place to be. Everything is brilliant with lots of staff around to make sure that everyone has drinks.

It's 'not on' in this setting to start charging for niggling little extras like parking and Wi-Fi. A silly policy and a big turn off.

Not what you think! .. There's no dividing door between the room and bathroom areas! Rooms are also quite small and cramped; not in keeping with the expansive, 'anything goes', party atmosphere that is generated elsewhere.

During special events, the place becomes a complete party area. The DJ who was entertaining earlier, goes on well into the early hours and becomes a source of intense irritation. Not the place to come for a break - or to sleep! And boy, do they know how to charge!
