text: The W is definitely one of the more hip hotels in Old Town if you are looking for a more lively vibe as opposed to relaxing this is probably where you should stay I have to say all staff I have ever encountered here from the valet guys to the bartenders servers etc have always been outstanding The rooms are nice and modern and they serve their customers needs around the clock It is within walking distance to Old Town nightlife and shopping at the boutiques galleries and Scottsdale Fashion Square mall nnI am a big fan of Sushi Roku the restaurant attached to the W I have always had great service food and cocktails there With this prime location you are also within a rock throw of many other fine dining establishments cute local cafes and bars nnThe pool parties in the summer are rocking with DJs spinning tunes and Scottsdales finest or as some call them Snotsdales finest prancing around naked and possibly filled with plastic At night this same pool area transforms itself into an energized nightlife spot nnMy last visit to the W I stopped in on a random Sunday evening to grab a cocktail with a friend and I was impressed There were a quite a few patrons enjoying their Sunday Fundays and the bartender made sure to keep the vibe going It was some of the best people watching I have done in a while The lobby bar had cool lounge music vibing in the background There were some hotel patrons with some escortish looking guests which entertained us while time with our cocktails passed nnI end up here on rather impromptu occassions but every time has never been a disappointment
