Everything was great. But the serving staff at the restaurant were rude and basically ignored me. But room was very clean and I loved all of the art!

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.

Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia
Resort food/drinks were pricy but nothing crazy. Pools and hot tubs were nice (adult and non-adult). Our favorite restaurant was Centro but Prado had a good vibe (Crave was great for a quick coffee/snack). If you go be sure to take advantage of gelato happy hour. Most of the resort had a great view ...
