The Azure Hotel
Mattress was not comfortable. A/C unit compressor was so loud, we barely were able to sleep. Also, discontinuing complimentary breakfast--but we were too late getting down to see what they did have.

FOUNDRE Phoenix
The bar top could be cleaner. The corners of the showers could be cleaner. There were several strans of hair in the shower. The toilete paper should have been replaced. It was half used.

Talking Stick Resort
Everything was amazing from the room, the view, the amenities and casino. I just wish the restaurants on site had more variety in what food they offer. The main pool was closed our entire stay but the west pool was amazing. Would definitely come back.

Having multiple pool options was great! Comfortable bed. Great to be able to get food service to the pool areas. Lovely location in the mountainside. Parking should be included though.
