This property is a classic! It may be a little long in the tooth, but that’s part of the charm. My wife and I spend the night here once a year to celebrate an anniversary. We stay in the penthouse suite. Our favorite suite is the Pat Boone suite. We absolutely love it there! And the food is excellent!

The place is way outdated. Our room was ok, at best. The curtain sheer was ripped, spider webs in the corners, the a/c had to be repaired and the shower knob was broken then repaired. The place has lots of history. The pool was nice. All the furniture needs updated. The restaurant and bar were the highlights.

The grounds are lovely for evening & morning walks and sunrise & sunset watching. The history was fun to learn about. 5 star stay!! All of the employees and staff were friendly and efficient.

This is a really cool old hotel. We like staying at places with a little history when we can and this one has plenty. I think it's been updated just enough to modernize some comforts but leave the 1960s feel. My husband had a hard time with the outdoor hallways from the elevator to the rooms because he's afraid of heights and we were on the 7th floor but unless you have a genuine phobia, it's actually a lovely view. Staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was nice, the pool was fun. We don't golf but the course looked well cared for from our balcony where me and our toddler enjoyed watching the golfers together.
There's not a lot to do in Casa Grande, but the people are friendly and the neon light park is cool. We were there to bring our daughter to Rooster Cogburn's Ostrich Ranch about 35 mins south of the hotel. That is not to be missed. You'll have a blast even if you don't have kids!

Best price in town

The staff at front desk were great and very friendly. I lost money in vending machine trying to get water and they refunded it easily enough. Bought a bottled water at the golf shop. The room phone did not work for reaching lobby. (After plugging in the receiver). Had to call front desk from my cell phone. Beds were comfortable, however, we could hear every noise outside from doors sliding open, early risers talking outside our door and birds chirping. No sleeping in on this trip. Also, no outlets by nightstand to charge phones.

This used to be a nice hotel for rich people 25 years ago but now its a broken down overpriced pos

Room service staff was great but the QR code in the book didn’t work so the staff had to read the menu over the phone. Had to order room service delivery for my coffee since the coffee maker in the room didn’t work. Like I stated before it was just average except for the staff.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly. The rooms were very clean. My only complaint is the air conditioning did not work and it was difficult to sleep. I was told the air-conditioning is turned off during the winter months. This would’ve been acceptable, except the doors cannot be left open at night due to lack of screens. Otherwise, a very great place to stay.

We wanted to enjoy our stay, growing up in the area it was one of the fancy places. Unfortunately we must have got them at a bad time, none of the ac's in the rooms we had worked. The door and sliding doors weren't sealed, so on top of the ac's not working they were trying to cool a room with warm humid air making them work overtime. Also because of the door and sliding door not being sealed there were black Beatles dead all over the floor by the entrances. I would go back and try again, because I know the hotel has awesome fold and history, but this was an all round bad experience. I hope they get these issues resolved.
