Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Good stay"

Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia

10/10 Excellent

"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and look forward to staying at more Omni hotels in the future. My room was beautiful and close to all the amenities which I appreciated. I arrived earlier than expected but the young woman at the front desk didn’t hesitate to get me check in early and also provided me some free drink tickets to use throughout the resort during my stay"
