“Beautiful view and sunset”
Talking Stick has lovely rooms, wonderful accommodations, terrific swimming pool and a lovely balcony with exquisite views of the surrounding area. The sunset was magnificent. Only complaint was the smoke in the casino.
“Nice experience”
All ages resort.
“Very nice property”
New Nice hotel. Plazma TV's with high def. Clean. Price varies based on occupancy. Outstanding value if available under $170
“Great hotel, Great Value”
Overall a great experience. No complaints other than I didn't get to spend any time at the pool but it was sure tempting.
“What a great place”
We had a great time there and it was close ( 1 mile) to our event. We really enjoyed our lunch at the seafood/bar where they cook it in front you. The mussels were wonderful and my husband had the creole. The service was friendly. We really enjoyed the room and the casino. We will definatly go back.
“Beautiful Resort”
We stayed at the Talking Stick Resort for 4 nights and really like this hotel. The rooms are very nice and everything in the resort is brand new. Our only complaints were that our room had an adjoining door to the next room which let in all of the sound from the next room, you could hear the conversation and everything else going on. When we complained on the 3rd night we were given a room that did not have an adjoining door and it was super quiet. The only other complaint was that we did not always get very good service from the staff at this location, restaurant coffee shop and the gift shop staff did not seem very well trained and were not very friendly or helpful. Of course with a Casino in the hotel you must always walk through this smoky environment to get to anything in the hotel, which we did not like but understood we would have to do when we booked. We did not gamble at the Casino so would have liked to be able to get to our room without going through the Casino. Overall a very nice property, we would stay there again.
“Christmas weekend at Talking Stick Resort”
These guys got it dialed in...clean, modern rooms - gorgeous views of the golf course, mountains, pool & cabanas, etc. Turn-down service each evening and Room Service was great and right on time Christmas morning. All in all, a fantastic way to spend a Holiday weekend in Scottsdale.
“phoenix best”
It is all you need or expect from a hotel , buatifull, spotless, and a helpfull staff, and as a furniture designer let me tell you that the rooms are unexpectedly well furnished and decorated, definetly recomended.
“Great Value”
Guest rooms are as nice as you will find for the price. Very comfortable and spacious. The hotel accomodated an early check in (10:00 a.m.) with no issues. Pool area and service are great. Only real issue I had with the property is the cigarette smoke in the casino area. While all casinos allow smokng, this one does not seem to have an adequate system to handle the smoke. Other than that, no complanints.
“Antonia Plaza”
It's a beautiful hotel and very friendly staff. Too far from everything, like nothing within walking distance.
