area attractions

I am interested in knowing how close local restaurants and local attractions are. How far is it from the airport

Pat, This resort is 20 min. from North Scottsdale. Restaurants, shopping, is closer to the Arrowhead area 5 miles tops. It being the closest resort to the Glendale stadium, BCS games, spring training for baseball at Peoria Sports Complex. I would not hesitate to stay there at all. Very beautiful place. Not hard to navigate from. You WILL need a car though! Probably without traffic, it will be 40 minutes to the airport, easy drive, all freeway.
