  • Spent a little time here the week of July 4. I found it to be a very smooth and pleasant experience overall. I requested a room with a mountain view and got one in the main building with an amazing vista over the back lawn towards Piestawa Peak. I could have stared at it for hours. The room itself was compact but not oppressively so. It was a little tight where the corners of the desk, bed and ottoman came together, so watch your shins there if you have a main building room. The bed was super comfortable and the Frank Lloyd Wright influence of the design carries over to the room, especially in the headboard and lamps. The bathroom is pretty plain, like something at a Marriott convention hotel. My only real complaint about the rooms is that they really could use a little more attention to the dusting, especially on the clock radio and picture frame surfaces. Bathroom was spotless, though. The lobby is very soothing architecturally and really defines a sense of something special. There are vintage photos of the hotel spread throughout the rooms and public areas, so you get a real sense of the history of this place. The two main restaurants, Frank & Albert's and Wright, are at the end of the lobby, with Wright's lounge occupying a large block of space just outside Wright's restaurant. F&A's had a nice happy hour, with a few appetizers and drink specials at a good rate. The pulled barbecued pork taco was yummy. The grounds are gorgeous desert landscaping, with FLW's sprite statues punctuating the plantings. The main pool was a little meh to me, so I chose to hang out at the quieter Catalina Pool, where Marilyn Monroe swam and which is lined with Catalina tiles. It had fewer people, but a few noisy pre-teens who were splashing about. So keep in mind, it's billed as a "quiet pool", not an "adults-only pool". Service throughout was gracious and very efficient. I was able to check in at 10:30 am and an early check-in will always make me very pleased. Also, the A/C was set to 68 degrees when I went in my room. Usually, they turn it up higher and you have to cool it down. Prices in the convenience store were high even by resort standards ($3 for a can of Diet Coke?) and the TV channel selection was limited (no HGTV?! Barbarous!). But overall, I'd go back and maybe try out one of the casita lodgings.
