I have toured other Fairmont properties in Hawaii, Maui, and Cancun. I've also stayed at the one in San Jose, CA.  When my friends came for a vist and said they were staying at the Fairmont, I jumped at the chance to visit them.  The property is beautiful.  The grounds are well kept and everything is spotless.  The rooms are nicely done.  The room my friends had was a very nice garden view.  There was a nice patio with table and chairs. It's the perfect place to have your morning coffee and watch the bunnies on the property.  They were everywhere and so cute!  The bathroom had a nice big tub, separate shower and double vanity.  All in all it looked very comfortable.  We had drinks in the bar outside that evening.  There is a small indoor bar and a huge outdoor bar with lots of seating and fire pits all around.  It gave a very nice ambiece.  The drinks were very good and our server was very attentive.  I would highly reccomend this property if you are going to visit Scottsdale or if you want a nice \"staycation\".  I will be utilizing the spa there soon since my wonderful friends gifted me for my birthday.  I cannot wait to try it!!
