Wonderful Time!!!

My boyfriend and I, went to Talking Stick for a weekend trip!! I loved everything about this place. While my boyfriend was golfing, I had a spa day... You don't have to leave this hotel, they have everything you could want right there. It is one of the best trips we have taken in awhile. I would go back again

Fantastic family stay!

My family visited this hotel due to a organ donors ceremony. Not knowing the area, we booked a weekend stay at this resort. The room was very nice and well taken care of...the maid service was great. We also found the best help from the front desk. Our service with the front desk was exceptional!! We also used the concierge to help with booking a car to get to our ceremony. The service was great for traveling to our event. The only drawback would be that the resort doesn't have a car/shuttle service from airport to resort or resort to airport. This would make a visit to the resort more appealing to customers. However, I would still give this resort and our stay 5 stars. Thank you for making our visit to Arizona very enjoyable!

Overnight Stay Following Company Holiday Event

We had been to the casino at Talking Stick several times but had not ever seen the hotel part. I was extremely pleased to see professional, friendly security posted at the entrance to the hotel itself to limit access to the towers to guests only - it gave me a very secure and comfortable feeling. The room was exquisite - beautiful, modern design and extremely comfortable and roomy. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Family Trip

The hotel was much nicer than we expected. The room was contemporary and furnished with quality furniture. The resort itself had several restaurants, bars and entertainment which were all good. The fine dining restaurant on the top floor was excellent and worth the price for a special dinner and had a beautiful view of the mountains. The only negative thing to say is that you have to walk through a smokey casino to get to the hotel portion of the resort. Overall we were very happy and would stay there again.

Great location for business travelor

My room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. I was very pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the bed linens and the business center. The golf course was very nice and had a quick shuttle from the hotel to and from the course. I will definitely stay here again. The free wireless is a great feature. I got a great room and rate.
