THE MCCORMICK SCOTTSDALE, Scottsdale

The property is centrally located in Scottsdale, offering easy access to major roads and attractions. Salt River Fields at Talking Stick is 4 km away, and the Mayo Clinic is a convenient short drive. The setting is quiet, with the lake and golf course providing a peaceful backdrop, though the property sits on a busy road. Free on-site parking is available but without reservations, making a car the most practical way to explore the area. Local dining and shopping are within a short drive, and the neighborhood is safe for walking.

All rooms include air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, free Wi-Fi, and a mini-fridge. Bed options are one king or two double beds; double rooms are smaller than queen size. A limited number of rooms have walk-in showers instead of standard bathtubs. Patio or balcony access is available in all rooms, with ground-floor lake-view rooms providing direct walkout to the grounds. The property is older, with some rooms showing wear such as dated carpet and older furnishings. Rooms can be affected by hallway and traffic noise; light sleepers may benefit from using the air conditioning to mask sound. Air conditioning units can be noisy. Adjoining rooms are available upon request for families or groups.

The on-site restaurant offers a menu of American, steakhouse, Tex-Mex, and grill/BBQ dishes, with a bar and lounge (Diamondbacks Lounge) serving appetizers and cocktails. A poolside bar (Coyote Cabana Bar) provides drinks. Breakfast is available but may have limited hours on weekdays; the weekend breakfast is highly regarded, with dishes like avocado toast and specialty cocktails. The restaurant and bar typically close at 8 PM, so evening dining should be planned accordingly. The bar staff is noted for excellent service, particularly bartender Terry, who is frequently mentioned for creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere. Room service is not available, but grab-and-go orders can be placed with the restaurant for pickup.

The pool is heated to 27.8 °C and is open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM, with pool toys, sun loungers, and umbrellas provided. The pool area has been subject to renovations in the past, so it is wise to confirm current conditions before booking. The lake behind the property offers free use of kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, and fishing gear, all included in the resort fee. Bicycles and tennis equipment are also available at no extra charge.
