Talking Stick Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first time at this property and I fell in love with it. It was very clean. I look forward to staying at this property in the future"

SureStay By Best Western Phoenix Airport

10/10 Excellent

"1st stay: Oct 8, rm 111: room clean and spacious. Staff: nice. Breakfast: ok and shuttle bus: very useful and take you directly to the airport 1 negative pt: right in front of ice machine: very noise since people come and get their ice, almost all night 2nd stay: Oct. 22nd, 2026, ask for room far away from ice machine. Got room 23"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Phoenix Tempe

8/10 Good

"It wasn't a "typical" embassy suites with the whole atrium etc... The property seemed older and I'm guessing was something else previously. The staff was nice and the place was clean. It was good for a work trip and easy in and out. Wouldn't stay there for a vacation, but totally doable for work."

City Express by Marriott Tempe

8/10 Good

"The hotel was a good choice for our short stay in Phoenix. The location was excellent and very convenient, and the staff accommodated us well, even though we arrived quite late due to flight delays. We really appreciated that! However, a word of advice: be careful with the snacks at the lobby! I was shocked to be charged $8 for a tiny bag of chips (probably around 1 oz). Seriously?! I understand hotel prices can be higher, but that felt excessive. In fairness, I should have checked the price before taking them, but after arriving so late and needing a quick snack before bed, it didn't even cross my mind. Another area for improvement would be breakfast. We stayed for three days and were served practically the same options every single morning. A little more variety would have made a big difference. We also found the food delivery options to be very expensive, so we ended up eating out most of the time while exploring Phoenix. Overall, the hotel served us well for a short stay. The location was definitely a highlight, and the staff were accommodating."
