text: Before checking into the hotel I read several reviews from both Yelp and Expedia Many comments were made on the friendliness of the staff cigarette smell in the casino and starkness of the rooms While there was a cigarette smell in the main casino area it did not permeate the entire premises I found the staff to be friendly and helpful As for the decor the rooms were of an Asian flavor which I found to be very elegant The bathrooms had a very large soaking tub and a separate glass enclosed shower with a rain head Both were used many times by my wife and I We found the restaurants to be very good Do not miss the lounge on the th floor All in all I would definitely stay there again the next time we are in Scottsdale
