You're spoiled for sightseeing choice when in Alhambra. Grand Canyon University is a good place to start here, but there are many other worthwhile attractions to experience. Chase Field, Footprint Center, and Arizona State Capitol are near the modern university and will top off your day nicely.

Spacious condo in timeshare resort. Staff was efficient and friendly. Grounds were clean. Units themselves are pretty dated and look like they were furnished in the 70s. Better than staying at a mid range hotel in the area for the money.

Great fun course to play on. The resort itself was nice. I hadn’t realized it was resort that’s been around for a while and changed hands along the way, including the Marriott group. This iteration is nicely done and the view of the camelback mountain is surreal. I was disappointed, however, with the customer service. Starting from check-in to our experience at the bar on the first night where one of the servers was a bit unkind and what my brother perceived as a little ignorant/bigoted.
All in all, great resort. Would recommend management spend some time investing in staff training.

Every service member we encountered was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. One thing to note is the concrete walk ways make maid-cart rolling and luggage (on wheels) rolling by or above rather annoying at 8am or earlier when thumping footsteps above you had kept you awake till 2am. The staff made up for that annoyance with their "kill 'em with kindness" spirit. They have customer service nailed! Beautiful pool and tasty offerings at the Grill, too!
