My stay at Talking Stick Resort had its ups and downs. While I enjoyed the variety of amenities and the fun atmosphere, the poor cleanliness and uncomfortable odor in certain areas really detracted from the experience. Overall, it was a good spot if you want a vibrant resort feel, but I had some significant issues.

Rooms

The room was decent but I found it lacked proper cleanliness; there was a noticeable layer of dust and the curtains looked old and yellowed. I was especially displeased to find a large bloodstain on my pillowcase upon check-in.

Service

I had mixed feelings about the service. While my specific room issue was handled with a $75 resort credit as an apology, I was frustrated that housekeeping didn’t come to clean until after 6 PM on our last night.

The resort is conveniently located with easy access to amenities like the casino and several restaurants, but the noise from the casino was a constant distraction.

Dining

I enjoyed the food options available, particularly the Wandering Horse buffet which was quite good, though my cocktail experience at the bar fell flat with almost no alcohol in the drink.

Facilities

5.0

The pool area has great potential but feels overly concrete and could use some landscaping to improve the atmosphere. Also, the evening pool parties are not suitable for those looking for relaxation.

I had an enjoyable mini break at Talking Stick Resort, where the chic and modern room provided a comfortable stay. The pool area was lovely, and I had fun trying my luck at the slots, coming away with a big win. Dining options were impressive, especially the creole seafood, though it was a bit pricey. My only hiccup was a poorly handled check-in experience. Overall, I would consider returning, especially for the upcoming concerts.
