    Good relaxing stay with kids. We spent most of the time at the pool.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Truly love the pool options and the casino is incredible. People are nice and the resort is so clean. Truly loved our stay

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I think this is a fine option to stay if you want to find Vegas in the dessert of Arizona…which I did not. I was hoping for something more like a resort setting—totally my fault, but just wasn’t impressed by the loudness and craziness of the facility. Definitely not a place to relax. Room service was okay, but nothing really stood out in terms of service of facility.

    The slot machines were new except keno machines on the main floor were old. Other than that the casino overall staff everything else was amazing. Hopefully when I go back next month they will have new keno machines on the floor

    Very nice place to stay

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Our 3rd time staying here in the past 3 months. Always our go to when we are in Scottsdale at this point. It’s peaceful and yet full of fun and excitement if you’re looking for a more lively time.

    Always a good stay for me and my family.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Clean room. Staff excellent. Good food.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Amazing property and staff!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    When we followed up, the bag still had not been found. Over four days of us constantly calling, staff showed zero urgency and eventually told us they cannot check a room or contact a guest during their stay. Housekeeping clearly failed to inspect the room for forgotten items before reassigning it, or cleaned the room and did not return our backpack to lost-and-found, and management offered no proactive help or accountability for sensitive personal items reported missing within hours. Despite spending significantly at the resort and casino, we felt completely dismissed. We expect far better service from a resort of this standard and will not return.

    Great place!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Clean. Modern. Good value. I didn’t stay long enough.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Talking stick was a nice resort. Initially I had problems with the cleanliness of my room (my sheets were dirty and the balcony furniture was worn and dusty) but housekeeping came immediately to help. The front desk staff could be a bit more accommodating and caring when issues arise. The casino and pool staff was nice. Overall it was an okay stay.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was awesome

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    My sister and I booked a 3-night stay here and overall were very pleased. One thing everyone should know, however, is the resort is NOT the same as the Talking Stick Amphitheater…we realized it after we booked when we hoped to be staying at the same place as the venue for a concert we bought tickets to. We’re glad we decided to keep the reservation though…we ate at the steakhouse the first night and it was a top notch meal! My sister thought the mashed potatoes were the best she’d ever eaten!!! The filet was also amazing! We also had shrimp tacos at the Mexican restaurant that were very good and coffee every morning at the coffee shop! It was too hot to go to the pool and we didn’t have good luck at the casino but, all in all, we loved our stay!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    This time we got to spend it on the weekend at the pool. One of my favorite days I’ve had in a while. The dj was great and kept it fun for all of us. The hotel itself is amazing. The rooms are beautiful and the bathtubs are perfect for bubble baths. My favorite interaction was with room service. Both ordering with Pat and the young man who delivered were the sweetest. We love it here!

    Property is very nice. Food selections were limited. Hard to get a reservation at Orange sky for fine dining.
