We started our Arizona vacation at the Grand Canyon and spent the first 4 days up north by the Canyon and Sedona. We then came down to Scottsdale for the last 4 days of our vacation! It was perfect. Our travel agent suggested the itinerary and told us to forget all about the other "suggested" hotels to stay at in Scottsdale and go straight to the Westin. He was so right! My husband, I and two kids (10 & 14) had the best time. We travel alot and this was way at the top of our hotel picks. We are just so sorry we were only there for 4 days. It is beautiful from the minute you walk in. THe rooms were very clean and if I could do my bathroom over I would do it the way they have it at the Westin. The lazy river and slide were of course a big hit with the kids, the Dream Weaver Canyon with the bag pipes at sunset was beautiful, and the staff we encountered were extremely courteous and helpful. The kids loved the crafts and games they had at the pool during the day! I really have nothing to say negative about this place and can't wait to go back!

Our stay at the Westin Kierland Resort was excellent. Our room and bathroom were spotless, the pool side service was excellent, and we all enjoyed the lazy river. The grounds and facilities were beautiful and plentiful. And access to the KIerland shopping area was a big plus - Bistro Zinc has become my favorite restaurant in the area. Excellent for kids and families.

We arrived prior to the normal check-in time and were given our rooms at Noon. The agent checking us was very helpful letting us know about the Westin Unwind. We had resereved a cabana for one day and we choose the adult pool. She advised to change it to the pool that has the lazy river as it would be more fun for us. She said if you want to have fun that was the pool area. I agree.

We had 2 rooms and they placed us acorss from each other. The rooms was very large, had the Westin Heavly bed, a sitting area, balcony, mini-bar, seperate shower and tub. Very nice.

The pool area is perfect. The cabana came with fruit, water, chairs, tv and two chaise lounges in front of the cabana. Very good wait staff to take drink/food orders. Lazy river is great! Very relaxing day at the spa.

We ate in Nellie Cashman's Club Cafe every morning for breakfast. Also had dinner one night at Deseo. Deseo was good but be prepared to spend.

There is also a coffee place (not Starbucks) to get that extra cup of coffee if you don't get enough with the in-room coffee.

Valet is free until 11pm then you may self park. Self parking is not covered (I don't think valet is either) but it is very close.

The four nights we spend here were wonderful. Easy to un-wind and enjoy!

We are already planning another trip in October.

Just returned from an overnight stay at Westin Kierland. This is the fifth time I've stayed there, and probably the last. Had to switch rooms 3 times when I checked in due to first room with completely wet carpet, 2nd room very small, tattered with no view. We had booked the romance stay which included sparkling wine at arrival and breakfast. Had to call to remind them about the wine, which was eventually delivered. Although the rate included breakfast, we were charged for it anyway, and had to have the charges reversed. In general, very disorganized hotel. If you stay here, make sure to allow plenty of time to follow-up on promises made by the hotel.
