Talking Stick Resort

All of the staff we encountered was courteous and friendly.

Overpriced. Embedded in a casino, to get coffee in the morning before heading to hot tub, we had to walk in robe and slippers through the casino, past the chain smoking slot gamblers. Several areas unconnected (lower restaurant not connected to main elevator area). Expansive pools and large hot tub with nobody in them were perfect. Drinks poured weak and steak extremely underdone temperature in restaurant. Clean modern rooms with great views of the Scottsdale area, golf course and countryside. Comfortable bed and pillows. No blanket on bed in winter/late December. Complimentary valet service. Limited television channel selection and no music on TV channels. Shower leaked water into closet, bedroom and other areas of bathroom - not sure where or how. No bathroom fan made privacy frustrating. Only 1 coffee serving in room's coffee maker, for which we were charged a mandatory $25 "resort fee" made it total of $275/not which was absolutely NOT WORTH IT. Resort fee is undeserved. Clean facilities.

Great room on the Club Room floor. Bed and bathroom were great. They need more comfortable pillows. The service on the club level was excellent. Overall, the food is just so-so. Too expensive and not all specials were available during the three Christmas days we stayed. The casino had a variety of machines, and it was not too smokey.

A little nosiy with a connecting room. Could hear people in the hall all the time. Other than that the stay was good.hen checking in the person helping us was very rude.
