Traveler Reviews on Central Arizona

Arizona Royal Villa Resort

Aug 17, 2008

We stayed at the Arizona Royal Villa Resort for 2 weeks and I must say that it was well worth the price. The rooms are clean and the staff is very helpful. We got great advice on where to go shopping to save some money on food, since they offer some rooms that you can cook in. Makes it feel... more

Albany, New York

Great challenging course. Love the state of Arizona and love this place. Would love to come back. Accomodations were superb. more

Camelback Inn, A JW Marriott Resort & Spa

5 of 5 stars
New York, NY
Aug 17, 2008

I was scheduled to attend a conference at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge in August, but since that hotel was completely sold out at the conference rate and only had rooms available at $289/night, I decided to stay at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn for $159/night. Based on the significant rate difference, I was a little worried about what I... more

Gainey Suites Hotel

Aug 16, 2008

Recently stayed here on business - nice property, well-maintained with a good front desk staff. Great value for the money in a central Scottsdale location. A couple thoughts to chew on... #1: When I returned to my room at 1:30 after going out with several clients, at least two of the hotel's exterior doors were unlocked (including a secluded door... more

Hilton Phoenix East/Mesa

5 of 5 stars
Phoenix Arizona
Aug 16, 2008

We have stayed here many times in the last couple of years and have nothing but excellent things to say about the clean refurbished rooms and the friendly staff. When we were checking in for our last tree night stay, we asked the girl at the desk for an upgrade. Without batting an eye, she gave us the deluxe suite... more

Hyatt Place Scottsdale

5 of 5 stars
Rancho Mirage, California
Aug 16, 2008

I am an airline pilot, and I stay at many hotels...mostly in the Westin Chain. I am very impressed with this property. The room was so inviting ..with the 42 inch LG plasma TV...perfect for watching the Olympic games when I arrived. Desk area with FREE wi-fi. The layout is different from most hotel rooms, but very well planned out... more

Crowne Plaza Phoenix Airport

1 of 5 stars
Michigan
Aug 16, 2008

Rated a 3-star, but barely a 2-star. Only positive was a comfortable bed and close to airport for early morning flight. Needed to use pull out sofa, which hotel knew about, but linens were not provided. Arrived late and had to wait for housekeeping to bring linens for sofa bed which sagged badly in the center. Room was in desperate... more

Lon's at the Hermosa

5 of 5 stars
Sonoma, CA
Aug 16, 2008

My husband and I made reservations for the "Tuesday Trust Table" that we read about on the restaurant web site. It was one of the most romantic dinners we have ever spent and well worth the money! The "pluses" - We were escorted down a very narrow brick staircase into a softly lit wine cellar. The air was fresh and... more

Holiday Inn Express Phoenix Airport (University Drive)

5 of 5 stars
Cardiff, Wales
Aug 16, 2008

A great hotel and well located to investigate Phoenix. Even though it was full of young people the hotel was quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful and when we checked in the poor check in girl had phones ringing and a long queue to deal with but she kept calm and friendly throughout. The room had two beds and... more

D-vine Wine Bar and Bistro

Aug 16, 2008

I would ordinarily give D-Vine a positive review, but I feel I should mention what happened on our most recent visit. This has been one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants and we frequent at least once every two weeks. First, I will say that the wine selection is excellent, as is the food. We have always enjoyed our meals, whether... more

The Phoenician

4 of 5 stars
Atlanta
Aug 16, 2008

I stayed at the Phoenician for a week-long marketing conference. I had no choice in hotels, but am very happy that this was the hotel chosen for the meeting. Check-in & check-out were easy and quick. I don't think my Starwood Gold status counted for anything - I got a standard room in the main building overlooking the driveway and... more

Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa

5 of 5 stars
Mesa, Az
Aug 16, 2008

Our family had a 3 night stay at this resort. Upon arrival, everyone we interacted with was very pleasant and helpful. This resort was one of the prettiest we have ever stayed at. We signed our 6 year old daughter up for the kid's adventure club for the afternoon. The staff that ran that club were so fun and kind... more

Lakeside Bar & Grill

Aug 16, 2008

nice inside, but that aside, horrible bar. they advertise open late but will close on you at 12. guy bartender will openly sexually harass women bartenders or servers. owners or management will disappear and leave the business in the hands of their employees. this bar lets their employees act off the hook and very classless. WARNING. they let their male... more

Sushi Brokers

5 of 5 stars
Oxnard, California
Aug 15, 2008

Came across this restaurant tonight by accident - staying at the hotel across the street. Went at 5:00 pm (Friday), and the place was already jumping with a sushi happy hour menu. From the greeting at the front door, to the constant attention to detail and customer service, this place was running like a well oiled machine. Excellent service, the... more

Francisco Grande Resort and Golf Club

1 of 5 stars
casa grande, az
Aug 15, 2008

My wife and I live nearby and booked a night here last year as a getaway for our anniversary - what a disappointment!! We had to have our room switched because the sheets were still dirty, there were dead bugs on the floor, etc. From a distance it looks nice but it truly is a dump. The locals know it... more

Embassy Suites Phoenix-Scottsdale

5 of 5 stars
Portland, Oregon
Aug 15, 2008

Recently stayed at this hotel for 2 nights on business, and I was really impressed with the updated decor, great service, and incredibly comfy rooms. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was just right, and the buffet breakfast was good. If staying in this area, I would highly recommend this hotel. more

Cafe Boa

2 of 5 stars
Portland, Oregon
Aug 15, 2008

Recently ate at this restaurant with a few family members, and the food was okay, but the service was terrible. Our waitress was very inattentive, and we had to ask more than a few times to have our water refilled. The wine pours were also incredibly small. Overall, for the money we paid, I probably would go somewhere else. more

Four Points by Sheraton Tempe

Aug 15, 2008

This hotel used to be an old tired Holiday Inn and after a complete remodel the new Four Points is quite an improvement. The look is contemporary and a bit on the hip side in style. The lobby, restaurant and bar are open, light and inviting. The guestrooms have 32" wall mounted flat panel televisions with a decent amount of... more

Mike's Grill

4 of 5 stars
Arlington
Aug 14, 2008

My wife and I make frequent visits to the Peoria area and discovered Mike's on a Friday evening when all the chain places on Bell Road had lines out the door. We walked in, got a table without a wait, and were treated to some very fine Italian and Greek dishes. That experience and the good food keeps us coming... more

Embassy Suites Hotel Phoenix Biltmore

4 of 5 stars
mariposa,california
Aug 14, 2008

Upon arrival of the hotel we were greeted by very happy desk clerks. My son had picked us up at the airport, we flew in from Fresno Ca., and he had his two children with him. My daughter was with us and she had her child with her also. Before we were checked in, the doorman had taken my grandchildren,... more
