Hyatt Regency Scottsdale at Gainey Ranch Review

Hyatt Regency Scottsdale at Gainey Ranch
$$-$$$$, Scottsdale
Fodor's Review:
When you stay here, it's easy to imagine that you're relaxing at an oceanside resort instead of the desert. Shaded by towering palms, with manicured gardens and paths, the property has water everywhere -- a large pool area has a beach, a three-story waterslide, waterfalls, and a lagoon. The two-story lobby, filled with Native American art, opens to outdoor conversation areas where fires burn in stone fireplaces on cool nights. Large rooms have balconies or patios. Three golf courses at nearby Gainey Ranch Golf Club will suit any duffer's fancy. Spa Avania aims to soothe the soul, while kids get their kicks at Camp Hyatt.

EXCELLENT atmosphere, golfing and dining experience. The staff were top notch. I had a very relaxing weekend and enjoyed walking gorgeous, well-maintained grounds, as well.Dated rooms, nosiy public areas

Memorial Day weekend may not be representative of an average stay, but that's when I was there so here goes. Kids, kids, kids. Noise everywhere. Screaching, screaming, yelling. Do parents control their kids anymore or do the kids control them? The room we were given was a handicapped room. Walls were scuffed (we presume by wheels of wheel chairs) and the furniture worn. On the plus side the bathroom was big, water pressure great and there was more place to put toiletries than at other hotels we've stayed at. Bed was hard, down pillows great. Air conditioner going on and off disturbed sleep somewhat, as did loud music in lobby that goes on to 11pm or later. Room service was prompt and food very good. Our non-smoking room curiously had an ashtray on the balcony table. Housekeeping didn't clean room until 3pm (when I called at 2pm, thinking they forgot us, they said it could take as late as 'til 5pm). Seems like a dated hotel where the "rat pack" might stay.
