We stayed there when it was under previous ownership as the saguaro. It was way better then.

It was a party hotel. We did not expect that. If you like watching men kissing men on the lips and running around in G strings, then that’s the place for you. It was not the place for us.
I was highly disappointed in this hotel; the pictures look absolutely stunning and newly renovated but that was NOT at all what I got! Bathroom tiles were old and peeling, I didn't get hot water but instead lukewarm water for two nights using a poor shower head. Room decor was extremely ragged and outdated. The check-in process was also time consuming as you have to download a phone app and check in w/ your driver's license... Which I found weird. I would not come back again. Maybe others had nicer rooms, but the room I got was literally like a run-down motel.
There was a very loud night party that we didn’t know about and the staff didn’t know it was happening either. Night staff was very kind. We had to move buildings. I had a medical emergency in building 6 no help was offered and no elevator was available. I’ve always loved staying when it was the Saguaro
Service lacks professionalism. Front Desk was not able to sndwer any questions. Was told music/ dj will stop playing at midnight. Its now 1am and they are still going.
We had to move rooms....were moved to one across the property and the maintenance man actually went above and beyond and loaded our cart andn brought it over for us. No restaurant open, no bar tender, several other issues with no staff available, but overall we made the best of it.
Was an amazing place to stay great staff. Rooms were very clean and close walking distance to restaurants! Enjoyed it !

The experience overall was average. Nothing to report outside of the normal. I had an emergency that caused me to have to leave early and I have not heard back about a potential refund for the night I didn't get to stay.
Room was not stocked with regulars like coffee, bags for ice bucket,even no remote for the tv, and ice machine didn’t work. They didn’t even apologize when I checked out.
This is an older property in the center of old town. A great location with easy access to all the shops and restaurants. A lot of updates need to be made to the rooms. Air conditioning was out in the first room we checked into. The staff was very polite. The pool area is great drinks are a little spendy so don’t go on a budget.
