| - Valley Ho, I bow down.
I wasn't really sure what to expect upon arriving at the Ho, but I was already anticipating not liking it as much as I like the Saguaro. Turns out I was wrong.
Valet was super friendly and offered me a bottle of water (which I needed, considering it was basically 200 degrees outside), and the front desk got me checked in right away. The first thing I noticed was the bright colors and modern atmosphere - oh and also ZuZu, which has earned five stars of its own. A nice gentleman grabbed my bag and helped me to my room, which was a bit of a hike around the pool.
There's no other way to say it... my room was mind-blowing. The king size bed was insanely comfortable, there was a personal coffee bar, a martini set, and a mini bar... TONS of counter space, huge mirrors, and the sheer size of the room was impressive in its own right. Let's also not forget the giant bathtub in the middle of the room, with optional blue mood-lighting, and wrap-around curtains if you want some privacy. The bath products were wonderful, the shower's water pressure just right, and I was in heaven for a good three days.
I really love the pool, and can't wait to see the two new ones when I'm back in October. The personal, rent-able cabanas are super fun, and they have a nice pool bar as well. The fitness center gets five big stars, they have yoga in the morning, and I'm going to stop writing now and just say I'm in love with this hotel.
My only gripe was that my room was on a corner, and it was so hot. Regardless of the 60 degrees I had it set on, the temp never went below 74 degrees. Five stars regardless, because the pros seriously outweigh the one con.
Clearly, I can't wait to go back.
