Beautiful views of the sunset in the morning. It was clean and fully stocked. The staff were super friendly! Especially the man who helped us find somewhere to hike (I’ve forgotten his name but thank you so much!) Food selection for breakfast was lovely, and the gym was always clean as well. Staff always greeted you in the day and the night. I honestly would love to stay here again just because of how hospitable everyone was. I wish I took more photos of the room, but it was 100% accurate to website photos!

    Superb - What previous guests thought, 146 reviews
    Was my second stay. Outstanding experience, we’ve seen a lot of 5 star places around the world. Kids said this is one of the very best ones, and this is “only 4 star”, but it has sooo much more. I do recommend staying in the suite with kitchen and washing Maschine. It does make a difference when travelling with kids and it gives you a bit more space as well. There are options connecting to another room instead of having a rollaway bed. For us, the suite with rollaway was enough to fit beds, 5 big suitcases and 4 pieces of hand luggage. Yes, it does look wild! Pool area super nice, very friendly service (Alex is amazing), front desk always friendly, professional and helpful. Concierge and parking always nice, friendly and super professional. Convenient store in house with incredible pricing for a hotel. Big big bottle of Fiji water 4 dollar, half bottle of champagne (Laurent Perrier) 40 Dollars - might sound strange, but if you compare prices around states and hotels, this is super fair!!!! In Walking distance to Old town, Fashion mall and many more.

    Xanadu nestled beneath the magical Camelback mountains. It doesn’t get much better besides an orchestra playing the above ‘X’ theme or La Boheme for the purists. Generous sized and well appointed rooms and suites. Everything supplied for the exercise aficionado before cocktails and solids around the infinity pool

    Getting around Scottsdale is easy.

    Getting around Scottsdale is easy. Very beautiful landscaping, buildings, homes and landscaping made traveling interesting because of all the sites. We stayed at this location because we were traveling to the Salt River which was only 25 mins from where we stayed. We are from Prescott Valley so the stay here definitely made it much easier of a trip. There are plenty of shopping areas, food selections, and outdoor activities in this area.

    First time in Tempe. City was very hot but manageable because there is no humidity. Clean city, at least the parts I saw. College town with resort casinos nearby. Lots of opportunities for fun and adventure. All the restaurants seem to have lively business but there is some lack of variety of cuisine. Will likely be back.

    The front desk staff was helpful, but the check in process took longer than it should have. That seemed like a system issue to me. The room was spartan at best. The table was wobbly and I would have expected at least some utensils given it is an extended stay facility. I wouldn't recommend it for a business traveler.

    I thought Goodyear was a very nice area to visit. The scenery is beautiful. I was there for Reds Spring Training Games. There is quite a bit of traffic in Goodyear. I-10 is always very busy and gets backed up a certain times of the day. I was only there for 5 days but could have stayed longer - didn't get to see everything but I would highly recommend this area.

    It appears to be an up-and coming area with a lot of newly-built or in-progress properties. Nice wide roads and not a lot of traffic congestion. Great views of the mountains when driving around town. It definitely is a car driver's town. I am not knowledgeable as regards public transportation. The area I was in had convenience stores, a local brew-pub, gas stations, hotels, and other businesses. There were a lot of new residential areas withing a couple of miles. Just a short drive away is the Salt River, and also a lake (which I didn't get a chance to check out). I did a small group tour of the Grand Canyon/Sedona through Detours (ask for Mark L.) and kayaked the Salt River. Both excursions were enough to make me want to buy a house and stay there!! Note: Gilbert is a suburb of Phoenix, but is not close enough if you plan to spend a lot of time in the city. But it is great for those that want to hit the trail!!

    Surprise, Peoria, and Sun City (all next to each other)...

    Surprise, Peoria, and Sun City (all next to each other) beautiful area! No skyscrapers to block the views, ALL day sun. These 3 areas are mostly for retirees so not very noisy (being summer, also, kids are inside avoiding the heat), not a lot of foot traffic (more club carts, beware, there are some crazy drivers). I noticed there were not a lot of gas stations and convenience stores. (less loitering from undesirables) You will not see very many vagrants as the locals make sure that is curbed, the police may not be visible, but they are there and you can tell by the lack of vagrants, the streets are clean of trash. I come from a tiny community and you would thinks this area is too by the lack of street noise and pedestrians, (at least in the area of the hotel) If there hadn't been intermittent noise in the hallway, I would have thought I was alone
