I come to the Phoenix area from time to time as a working musician. This hotel and their staff are amazing. I won’t stay anywhere else now.

The Wigwam
Did not enjoy this stay. Daily resort fees and an uncleared room do not align. Steak was bad this time around at restaurant (usually great) and Valet staffer had a salty attitude. Never coming back. Y’all charge too much for bad hospitality
