The Westin Kierland Villas, Scottsdale

Front desk staff was extremely rude. Went to have a romantic getaway for our anniversary and was blown away how we were treated by the staff that worked at the front counter. Rude looks, snyde remarks by underage over privileged employees that do not care what so ever about your stay.

We have stayed at the Westin Kierland Villas many times, and it continues to maintain its standard of excellence. It begins at the Front Drive with a warm welcome from the Bellmen - Rob, Troy, and Scott, who are always eager to assist in any way. The Front Desk is professional, efficient, and helpful. Our villa was well-maintained, and if a need existed, the maintenance staff was prompt and thorough. The grounds continue to be a beautiful garden-like setting. The food in the restaurant is very good. We would like to recognize the bar staff - Dani, Devon, Sean, and Erica - for their service and for creating a fun environment. The servers - Juan, Joseph, Lexie, and others were very attentive to our needs. The pool staff (Spencer, Mike, Alison, et al.) kept us well-hydrated and comfortable. It is worth mentioning the addition of several new fun activities, stargazing, Bar Trivia, Owners' Reception, where we enjoyed beverages and snacks while mingling with Villa Leadership and other patrons, recreation pool activities, and several music events (Steel Drums was particularly enjoyable). We look forward to our return this fall. Thank you, Westin Villa staff!

Coming to Westin Villas is like coming home. As an owner we always receive the very best rooms in building 2,3,4 and 5. This last trip we had a room in building 5 overlooking the golf course. Not much of a view on the second floor but it's always fun watching the golfers sink their balls in the water. The Villas has everything you would need to cook for the entire week. We did however request an additional comforter for the pullout couch, which arrived shortly. The rooms recently received a makeover which improved Kierland even more. Yes to Internet TV. However I did find that the Internet was slower. Maybe this is due to all the off the users watching Netflix. Something I need to raise with the board. However I was still able to work. The staff at the Westin are incredible. I love seeing the same bar staff every year. Kevin is the best salesman at the Marriott sales office. He is the guy to talk to if you want purchase, trade or exchange your Marriott timeshare. However a huge shoutout to the maintenance grew for keeping the BBQs clean. Here are my tips and tricks regarding Kierland as an owner and frequent visitor: 1) Request a fire in the evening during the cold seasons. Ask the maintenance grew for firewood 2) Pool and hot tube is open 24 hours.. Hot tube is the best hotel ever 3) Use the gym and steam room. OMG!! 4) Daily happy hours. The best!! 5) Amazing BBQs, recommend BBQing in the evening. Get food from Safeway's a few blocks away. Get meat from Rusty Nails Butcher!! Omg their steaks are incredible. 6) Kurag coffee machines. Bring your pods. Kierland has coffee to purchase. Great onsite food. 7) Westin resort has a nice new bar! Wow what an improvement 8) Visit Kevin at the sales gallery. He is not pushy. Super knowledgeable and won't lie to you to sell you something 9) Must visit Westin resort. Pools are incredible. 10) Wow never knew pickleball was so much fun. Lots of pickleball courts at Westin. Can't say enough about the Westin Villas. Already booked for next year!! Westin Villas have created many memories and was my getaway during Covid. A must stay!!! Additional item: Omg I left one shopping bag behind in the room which had a lot of new cloths that I purchased at Kierland Commons. Housekeeping had found the bag and stored it for safekeeping. Once I noticed the missing items I called Kierland. They had located the items and shipped everything back to me!! Wow..

Loved the property. Only thing is that it closes at 5 pm for dinner. Pool closes early for kids too. After 5 it’s slim pickings here. Also my room had no window in the living room. Only window was in the bedroom.

We stayed at the Villas through *******, we were there with a large group, everyone in the group that booked thru the hotel were in their rooms by noon. We were told "soon" after arriving at the property at 11 am, we waited in the lobby thinking soon meant an hour or so. We did not get in until 4 pm, I truly think this was a function of not booking thru hotel. Units are out dated, did not like the bathroom, it has a deep soaking tub and no separate shower so it is not very safe getting over that tub into shower and out with out slipping. Everything; bar and store close up really early and it's too far to anything else to get a later evening drink or snack. Shuttle and Bellhops were AWESOME.

Great place!
