Awesome resort!

Our experience was excellent at the Talking Stick Resort. The room was very comfortable and loved the bathroom! We ate at the Blue Coyote restaurant several times and the food was great and our server Jasmine was the best! Unfortunately our weather was cool and rainy so we didn’t get to use the pool or hot tub but they were very clean and heated which was nice. Great place to be since we weren’t able to enjoy the outdoors much during our few days in Scottsdale. Very convenient to downtown Scottsdale too

Talking Stick was amazing! when I got there, Expedia had somehow failed to get the reservation to T.S.R. (Will NEVER use Expedia again.) I had made the reservation for Mar. 10, and the desk attendant said that it showed May 11th. This has happened to me with Expedia THREE times now. She was super friendly and actually booked me in at the rate that I thought I had reserved under Expedia. She did NOT have to do that. Highly recommend Talking Stick Resort and I will be back.

Perfect!

Great room, the hot tub and heated pool were amazing! Especially with their late night hours! The casino you have to walk through to get to your room doesn't have any cigarettes smell which is a nice plus
