The Westin Keirland Resort & Spa - Scottsdale, AZ

Located in north Scottsdale, the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa is located next to the Kierland Commons shopping center.

Upon entering the hotel, there is a big atrium overlooking the golf course.

The front desk is to the left, with separate check-in desks having two staff per desk.  I contacted the hotel before I arrived, and was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a King Parlor Suite.

Upon entering the room, there is a foyer with a half bathroom to the left.

The bathroom is fairly large, with a shower and toilet.  There is only one sink with a small counter (about the only drawback).

The resort is huge, with an adult pool, another pool with a lazy river and water slide.  They are scheduled to open a wave machine (FlowRider) later this year.

The property also houses the Westin Kierland Villas, which are nice but may be better suited for longer stays since the units have a kitchen, washer and dryer.

The staff is very friendly and helpful.

I was looking forward to eating at deseo, a Douglas Rodriguez restaurant, unfortunately they are closed during the summer.
