| - I've seen ads for the Saguaro and was excited to see what all the hype was about. This hotel probably isn't the best if you have kids that need peace and quiet. Don't get me wrong...it's nice, but the party/fun vibe is quite apparent. Some of these negative reviews on Yelp are shocking. Luckily for me, my experience here was quite pleasant.
Check in was super easy and fast. The lobby is really cute with a cool bar in the back. If you're hungry, there's Distrito which is a really great restaurant located inside the hotel. The guest rooms are on the other side of the property, so you're going to have to walk (maybe further than you're used to) to your room with your bags. Upon getting to our room, we discovered our key cards didn't work on the door so we had to walk all the way back to the front desk to redo our keys. A bit of a hassle, but hey, these things happen. Upon entering our room, we were pleasantly surprised. It was comfortable, and everything looked nice and updated. Flat screen, clock radio with iPod dock, nice toiletries, and cute modern bathroom. I wasn't expecting all the updated amenities seeing how the buildings looked a bit older.
The pool was nice, complete with padded lounge chairs and a convenient poolside bar. I was able to peek into the fitness center and it's really big with brand new super nice equipment. I think it rivals some of the best hotel gyms I've seen.
For what it is, The Saguaro doesn't disappoint. It's a casual hotel with some elegant touches. If you're used to staying at B&B's or lavish resorts, I'd suggest sticking to what you know. If you want something cool and different, check out the Saguaro!
