"It's part of Marriott's JW luxury brand, and mostly lives up to expectations, but prices seem a bit high considering decor is a tad generic and signs of age are starting to show." Full review

Concierge "The hotel attracts an older clientele with taste, partly because of its design heritage and partly for its location at the end of a residential road."
Rough Guide "Extraordinarily lavish 750-room resort... still retaining its Art Deco trimmings and extravagant gardens despite subsequent renovations."
Star Service "In the center of an exclusive residential area and country club, with 36 impeccably landscaped acres, 6 miles northeast of downtown, this is Arizona's most distinctive large-scale resort." Full review
