The room & bed were extremely comfortable. The front desk and staff were very attentive and friendly. A great value all around for the price.

Positives: The cleanliness of lobby, restaurant, pool, facilities, and fitness room.

Negatives: I would have liked a lap lane in the pool.

With scenic views and great landscaping this hotel was a joy to stay at. Recent updating to the rooms is very nice and the beds are fantastic. Not the extra firm slabs you usually get. The new LCD TV's had not been installed in our room yet but are planned. The bathroom was large with separate bath and shower plus a double vanity. We also had a balcony overlooking the golf course, very nice. There is a small airport nearby so if you are in the wing that is closer you may notice the plane noise. We were able to hear it but did not find it distracting as it was intermittent. The pool was nice and large so it never felt over crowded and the sun/lounge chairs had real cushions making them very comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again.

Positives: Great suite that was newly updated, large and very clean. Bed was great!

Negatives: Breakfast service was a little slow in the restaurant.

Positives: Large suite with balcony and nice marble bathroom.

Negatives: No close by eateries.

Once again a five star rating for me and my wife. I can't wait to be a hotel/resort guess again.

Positives: I gave the Hotel/Resort a Five Star Rating

Negatives: The only complaint, which I say is small - The menu at the resturant needed a better selection (Hamburger, Pasta, Ribs, etc.)

The hotel overall was a wonderful value. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. The staff was wonderful and we had a wonderful buffet breakfast on the patio overlooking the TPC golf course and the hotels pool.

Positives: The rooms are nice and roomy (a suite) we had a fantastic location right outside the pool and a paitio that opened up to a beautifully landscaped yard.

Negatives: The only thing that really I didn't care for was the lack of decorations. It was a pretty blah hotel setting

All of the hotel staff was very friendly. The beds were wonderful. The room was very nice. We did not get very good service in the lounge or in the restaurant. The drinks were very expensive. Lots of airplane noise, especially in the morning and evening.

Positives: Beds

Negatives: Airport Noise

The service at this Hotel was very poor. They seemed to be under staffed in the restaurant and pool area. Service was beyond slow in the restaurant. We had 3 meals there, and it was the same for all. By the pool they left dirty towels and trash around the pool the entire day, no one was picking up as guest left.

Positives: Size of the rooms

Negatives: service was poor and hotel is in the middle of no where.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 25 May 2005 rated 10 out of 10.

This is a well designed hotel that makes all the guests feel like they deserve luxury no matter what price they paid for the room.

Positives: The grounds, entry and rooms were very nice. I felt like we were at a resort. All staff we met were really friendly.

Negatives: Slow service poolside and at the restaurant.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 12 May 2005 rated 10 out of 10.

This hotel offered large clean rooms with patios. Perfect for an Arizona vacation. The pool was nice and the patio near the restaurant was enjoyable. They also had a free pool table outside that was fun to play. Great margaritas at the bar.

Positives: Fun, Clean, Comfortable, Perfect!

Negatives: Slow to pick up room service trays in the hallway
