Nice place to stay
This is an older property but has been remodeled to give it a more modern appearance. The pool and water features were nice. The rooms had been updated and were well-appointed. A good value for the price.

Used to be gorgeous now it’s a dump.
Room wasn’t ready so we had to take a lesser room in order to be checked in with enough time to make dinner reservations. Only comped $30 and parking. Pool was dirty and hot tub was green. We had a 1pm checkout but had maid service constantly knocking on our door from 11 onwards. Only positive review is the food and coffee at the cafe was marvelous.

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

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.

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.
