- “When we got into our room, we saw mosquitos flying (like ten of them) around the room. I assumed it would be expected because it was Phoenix. The furniture appeared dated.” 15
- “and once we got to our room we were pleasantly surprised they're all sweets so you've got this nice little front room with a TV and a couch I'm pretty sure that pulls out into a bed” On camera100:54
- “Now, the rooms. Oh, the rooms. Fresh from a 2017 renovation, they blend contemporary style with cozy comfort. Think plush beds, sleek decor, and all the little touches that make you feel pampered.” 4
- “Suite is nothing special and needs upgrades. No USB plugs for example.” 12
- “But the Southwestern decor is dark and dated, and the sprawling grounds often require a golf cart or a lengthy walk to reach some areas.” 5
- “and then separated by another set of French doors here's your bedroom with a great balcony off of it we can get sun on the balcony in the morning to warm up before we went to the water park” On camera101:17
- “Overall, I found the room severely lacking in modernization and it just seemed really outdated.” 15
- “The suites are clean, spacious, and well maintained, but decor feels a tad dark and dated.” 5
- “The next room was the bedroom that featured two queen sized beds (that were not comfortable), a television, drawers, a closet, and a sliding door that led out to the patio.” 15
- “but my favorite part of this room was the balcony you could sit out here and enjoy your morning coffee while looking at these gorgeous views” On camera101:44
- “The Wi-Fi is horrible and needs updating badly. I would not stay here if I had a choice but the conference pass includes hotel cost.” 12
- “As compared to our stay at Disney World, it seemed a little pricey for everything it included. I don't think I would ever pay over $200 for a room here ever again.” 15
- “Tapatio and get a cabana. They're not that expensive (probably least expensive in the valley) and vastly improve the experience.” 16
- “this is what the room looks like it was really dated there were mosquitoes every so often and bugs and like it was a very small balcony and honestly like I mean I paid a lot so it was around I think between 299 and 368 dollars a night and there's a 35 Resort fee on top of each night” On camera11:54

- “The resort is perfectly positioned for nature lovers. Located just 1.7 kilometers from Dreamy Draw Recreation Area and about 2.1 kilometers from PSUA Peak and Phoenix Mountain Preserve, this is a fantastic spot for families because children aged 1 to 17 can stay free of charge, making it much more budget friendly for parents.” On camera60:13
