Staycation's all I ever wanted. Staycation had to get away! And Happy happy happy I did.
I stayed at the Wigwam for the AZ Jazz festival this past October. One of my most memorable experiences about this resort was the fact that I arrived after dark on the first night. I went to the first concert that night and enjoyed the evening. I didn't think much about the property at all. I woke up the next morning to take a walk around and see what I could grab for breakfast. I walked out of my casita to find that that resort is a green lush of beauty suitable for the most discerning eye! I was WOWed by how well kept the property was. The property is well manicured with beautiful huge palm trees everywhere.
I was very pleased with the quality of service I received at all the various points that I interacted with the staff of the Wigwam. From the housekeeping to the bar/restaurants to the bell hops who shuttled us around in their golf carts (yes, you can call the bell hops to pick you up or drop you off). The staff was catering to thousands of people on the property there for the AZ Jazz festival as well as the hundreds of patrons who were actually staying at the resort. I think that everyone I encountered handled that influx of people well.
Albeit, the rooms are somewhat outdated, you're not staying in an actual wigwam either! The rooms were fairly large. Actually, in comparison to a standard hotel room, these rooms are pretty large. All of the casitas have these wonderful patios and my friends and I sat out there and chatted in the AZ sun! Keep in mind that this is a historic hotel. There are a lot of fun facts to learn when you are walking around the hotel about the hotel and the city of Litchfield and Goodyear.
There are several food options on the property and several that are right outside of the gates of the property on Old Litchfield Rd. Since I never moved my car the 3 days I was there, I did eat at all of the resorts restaurants and some along Old Litchfield.
I realize this is getting long! But there are a lot of things I loved about this place. I loved the fact that the main house/lobby of the resort has all these little conversation nooks all over the place. The lobby, if you can call that a lobby as it is huge, is so cozy and has a delectable southwestern theme to it.
