Orange Tree Golf Resort

Again a FREE to ME deal, but probably around $150/night if I had to guess depending on peak/off season.

Location here is key if you are traveling for business or visiting the Scottsdale area for shopping/conferences/etc. It is very convienent for these activities. Also not too bad if communting to the Tempe area.

This resort is a southwestern style resort on the outside, and kind of a southwestern / modern feel to the inside. Very squared, simplistic, lots of open space, minimal size furnishings, but nicely done and had anything you might need.

The room I stayed in was more of a studio type (bedroom/kitchen/living area all kind of in one). However the bathroom was fantastic and equiped with plush white robes and a great double walk in shower and jacuzzi tub on the other end.

The resort has a golf course, swimming pool, gym, and spa services for those interested, however I did not have the opportunity to check out any of these amenities on this visit.

The rooms are nice, clean, and quiet and the beds very comfortable Tepur-pedic sleep systems. This is a little bit older of a resort, but still a nice place to stay if traveling into the area.
