It's common knowledge that spending an hour or two surrounded by trees and plants can improve your energy levels. If wandering around town has worn you out, Papago Park is a perfect spot to rest your tired legs and recharge your batteries.

When you've spent some time at this Camelback East recreation and green space, why not make your way to Arizona State University, Camelback Mountain, and Phoenix Zoo? They're not too far from Papago Park and also a favorite with many travelers.

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,000 reviews)

The room was clean and the bed comfy. The ceiling fan was extremely loud (bearing noise) and the TV cable service you use is horrible. No TV guide, more commercials than shows (really, I timed them). Heck, Live TV has better options and less comercials than the cable provider you use. As a "resort" I would of expected better.

8.4/10 Very Good! (130 reviews)

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.

10/10 Exceptional! (458 reviews)

Our stay started very well and by the time we left the room was filthy lack of really caring about the room. Maria was very nice. The rest of the staff were nice, but I would give it an average.
