| - Stayed here for five days during the recent National Field Hockey Festival. This hotel was excellent. The room was large and comfortable. Kitchen area looked brand new - appliances, countertops, cabinets. I didn't use the kitchen area much, but it would have been perfect if I had chosen to.
One of the most important aspects of a hotel room for me is cleanliness and the Residence was second to none in this area. My room was spotless when I arrived. Throughout my stay, housekeeping did an excellent job of keeping the room clean. The only little criticism I could have is that they didn't replenish my soap automatically as mine was down to a sliver.
The pool, outdoor and lobby areas of this hotel are also very comfortable and accommodating. Three TV's in the lobby which made catching Thanksgiving day football easy to watch. Even got to see the Thanksgiving day Parade in the morning. The outdoor patio is supposed to be smoke free, but there were people smoking. The breeze took the smoke away, so there was no need to complain, but you would think people could read (or at least not ignore) the signs clearly posted.
One of the highlights of this hotel was the breakfast. The food was very good and replenished throughout the morning. The woman in charge was outstanding and tllk pride in the food she served. Lots of choices - eggs, potatoes, sausage, pancakes, waffles, yogurts, cereals, muffins, bagels. Each day they also had a special breakfast dish - quiche lorraine was outstanding. On weekday evenings there is also a special social hour buffet. I didn't have that, but it looked good.
The hotel also has a small convenience store area. The selection is somewhat limited but not bad and the prices are not outrages. It is a hotel convenience area so they are not cheap, but you could get candy for a buck, a Budweiser for $4 and a chipwhich for $1.50.
Free computer access - wired in the rooms, wireless in the lobby.
The location was great for us as we were playing at the Reach 11 Athletic Complex - an easy 10 minute drive. You are also very close to Desert Ridge for shopping and dining. The hotel shuttle will take you where you want within a two mile radius - that includes Desert Ridge.
We drove around on two of the days, days we weren't playing. 20 minute ride to Arizona State University. 15 minute drive to Cave Creek, AZ - a western tourist town.
The hotel is located adjacent to the Mayo Clinic, which would be ideal for anyone who had to stay while someone was in the hospital.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
