8/10 Good
"Talking stick was a nice resort. Initially I had problems with the cleanliness of my room (my sheets were dirty and the balcony furniture was worn and dusty) but housekeeping came immediately to help. The front desk staff could be a bit more accommodating and caring when issues arise. The casino and pool staff was nice. Overall it was an okay stay."

Sonesta Suites Scottsdale Gainey Ranch

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay in a 2 bedroom suite. Very comfortable for our family of 6. The pool was very clean and great size. We loved all of the other amenities. The gym(though small) is open 24/7. The staff are so nice and helpful. The complimentary breakfast has something for everyone with the option to sit indoors or outdoors(beautiful sitting area). The happy hour from 5pm-6pm has a nice amount of snacks, soft drinks, beer and wine which we enjoyed every night. We stayed during their off peak season(summer- stayed in August) so we left like we had the property to ourselves. The hotel is close to restaurants, shops and attractions. Really enjoyed it. The downside is that the hotel is very big with not the best signage to amenities. The lighting is on h tv e darker side and yes it does look dated on the inside but we had a blind eye to that because everything else hit the mark for us!"
