The Biltmore has seen better days. It still has all of the amenities one would expect from a nice resort, but the facility itself is simply getting a bit too dated. I guess I expected more from a Waldorf property.
I stayed for a week as a part of a large conference. The meeting lunches and break food were very good overall, and the main ballroom was transformed into a beautiful party space that rivals the best clubs in Vegas. The gym is spacious with great equipments, and there are several pools and tennis courts.
But the bedrooms can use an update. My room was fine but again a bit dated; some cracks in the paint on the ceiling, wallpaper tearing at the edges. A few of my colleagues ran into problems. One stayed in a building where the furnace broke on a freezing night. (Yes, below 32 in Phoenix!). One was briefly trapped in her room because the door handle fell off.
The lobby was under construction. Hopefully they will rebuild more at Biltmore....
