We loved that there were many outdoor activities in the backyard for the kids to enjoy as well as inside when we needed a break from the heat. It was a huge plus to have the pool right out back. It wasn't too far from old Scottsdale and stores were close by. Check in time was flexible so we were able to check in when we arrived instead of having to wait around until 4:00. We thought that the washer/dryer and the ice machine were a bonus!
