Hotel was ok. Bathroom was old and dirty. Tile was unacceptably gross. Carpet in room was old gross and wrinkled. My shower failed this morning as I was running out the door. No cold water so it was basically no pressure of scalding hot water. Could not shower before my business meeting today will not be back to this property.

This hotel looks very dated with the low ceilings so it felt a little claustophic in the hallways. My room didn't have any hand soap by the sink so I had to reach into the shower when I needed to wash my hands. There was extremely limited counter space, but it did have some shelves to put items on which helped eliminate the problem. I ate dinner in the onsite restaurant on Friday evening. The food was delicious but it was pretty pricey for a side salad and 2 taquitos ($25.00) There was only one person working both the bar and table tops so the poor girl was running like crazy. The live singer was nice to sit and listen to while eating dinner.

Good property and hotel but not worth the cost. Pretty expensive for the services provided. The pictures provided online were misleading. Rooftop was closed and no bar up there. Pool had no lights on at night even though it was “open”. No room service, had to go to the bar for drinks. Staff was really friendly and accommodating. Great location, lots to do around the area and a 20 minute drive to Scottsdale. Still a great spot but would have paid less for a different hotel had we known the conditions and not having everything that was listed online.

The stay was decent overall. The room was clean, but the hotel could improve by offering more amenities like a complimentary coffee bar or free bottled water. Additionally, I found the beds to be a bit uncomfortable.

Outdated hotel. It needs a lot of work.
Hotel needs to do some serious renovations and upgrades. Shower only has hot water and when trying to get it cooler goes to cold. No in between. The pipes were loud. No phone outlets. Only 2 accessible outlets for plugs only. Shampoo/conditioner was low. Told front desk but they never came to refill them. Restaurant has poor service and food menu is not appealing. Tables needed to be clean. Will not go there again.
