Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “The decor is Old World elegant, with rooms furnished and decorated with European antiques and artifacts.” 8
- “Every room includes a private balcony, many offering magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and a lush golf course.” 8
- “Comfortable, contemporary rooms feature flat-screen TVs and iPod docks, but you'll have to pay for parking, breakfast, and in-room Wi-Fi.” 11
- “Kauboi's nearly 10,000-square-foot adjacent terrace - connected to the restaurant with glass garage-like doors that rolled up once it cooled down later in the night -- was one my favorite spaces of the entire property with its giant square bar, potted trees, greenery-covered trellis, and plenty of lounge seating.” 2
- “All 204 rooms and 13 suites are spacious and feature handsome Miami-esque Art Deco style, plus they're equipped with minibars, Nespresso machines, iPod docks, and outdoor areas.” 11
- “Choose a room with a white noise machine to help mask the room climate control noise.” 1
- “While the guest room windows are meant to provide some soundproofing, the hotel is upfront with guests that they may hear noise coming from the nearby nightlife establishments. I slept just fine but if you're concerned, request one of the king rooms or suites, most of which don't directly face any late-night clubs.” 2
- “The 126 rooms sport a trendy, minimalist motif, which can either feel stylish or sterile, depending on perspective. Rooms can get noisy on the weekends, too.” 11
- “Noise levels: Room cooling systems run loudly and climate control noise is noticeable.” 1
- “Regular DJ events, a fine-dining sushi restaurant, and cavernous lighting have given the hotel a reputation around town as a place to be, but the noise levels (especially on weekends) may turn off some travelers.” 11
- “Grounds are immaculate, the main pool is one of the liveliest in the Phoenix area, rooms are stylish and colorful, and the restaurant serves tasty food.” 11
- “Rooms lean into the look with rich leather headboards, powder-blue velvet sofas, sconces with mesh metal shades, and rainfall showers, plus cool touches like fashion-forward coffee table books, custom postcards, Remi-branded mini-bar items, and retro doorknob tassels in place of flimsy do-not-disturb signs.” 2
- “Looking for the best views in town? Check out our top pick, Talking Stick Resort, a casino resort with great fine dining, golf, spa amenities, and some of the best views in the city.” 8
- “The Boulders also offers exquisite fine dining and an upscale shopping district.” 8
- “Guests are invited to dine at Talavera Restaurant, a modern take on the classic steakhouse, which offers some of the best patio dining in the city.” 8
- “These cards are $50 plus tax for the first year and $30 for renewal. Also, don't forget to enjoy food and drinks at Lou's Bar Grill after the round. They have great food/drink and a huge outdoor patio that is great even if you aren't a golfer.” 4
- “Breakfast variety: Limited to one item per person, items run out early.” 1
- “The resort is at the foothills of iconic Camelback Mountain, offering an ideal location for achieving a quiet, tranquil escape from the city.” 8
- “You're in the heart of Old Town's Entertainment District, lined with bumping bars, clubs, and restaurants. But you're also within walking distance of all of Old Town Scottsdale, including the Waterfront area (a retail and dining promenade along the canal), historic Old Town, and the high-end Fashion Square Mall, which is becoming a pretty notable dining destination.” 2
- “Located in an entertainment district, near a business district, Hampton Inn & Suites Scottsdale On Shea Blvd provides exceptional service.” 1
- “Papago is one of the best values in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, offering incredible views of the nearby Camelback Mountains and downtown Phoenix.” 17
- “The location of Papago is perfect and great for golfers in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa.” 4
- “It's ideally located just on the outskirts of the Old Town, which is the dining and entertainment hub of the city -- its restaurants, shops, and galleries are within a 15-minute walk.” 11
- “Meanwhile, guest rooms here earn praise for their in-room minibars and flat-screen TVs; however, some guests complain about having to pay a daily resort fee.” 13
- “This hotel definitely exudes prestige appropriate for its price point, although rooms aren't quite as luxe as one might expect at a hotel of this caliber.” 11
- “Daily resort fees are pricey, but they cover perks like bicycles, a local area shuttle, valet parking, and Wi-Fi.” 11
- “The buckets aren't cheap at $7, $14, and $20 for a large bucket of balls - not the best deal at a city golf course.” 4
- “Papago is a major disappointment, especially for the price.” 17
- “The resort's grounds are lushly landscaped, and there's a large pool with private cabanas, but expect a hefty daily resort fee.” 11
- “Rooms are well equipped with minibars and flat-screen TVs, though even their colorful paintwork can't always cover some worn interiors; furnished patios or balconies are a particularly nice element of these spaces.” 11
- “This intimate boutique is located on the greater grounds of The Phoenician Resort and is one of the highest ranked properties in the region. This smaller site offers personalized service, a private pool with poolside food service, and beautifully landscaped surroundings.” 11
