Convenient to Mayo clinic, but..
We were there for the usual week of tests at the Mayo clinic. It is within walking distance really so very convenient. It is quite a distance from downtown scottsdale etc. If you need to eat or shop for supplies go back to Frank L wright blvd and turn right, many shops and eateries.
The Marriot little "market" is very limited and expensive. The restaurant food is fine but know that 18% gratuity is added for room service automatically. Housekeeping was aggressive about getting into our room early even though we had the do not disturb sign out. We had feather pillows--the opposite of our request. Thin walls, you will hear snoring next door. Nice pool, jaccuzi, sitting areas and wonderful nature path just up the sidewalk.
Good for may visitors especially but out of the way for others.
