Noise cancellation is not good for the room. We got waken up many times by other customers who returned to the rooms around us late at night.

overall hotel was great, only things that could be better is, I wish there were more charging stations for EV vehicles and I wish the shower was hotter. Seems like during peak times shower got warm at best.

Talking Stick was a wonderful resort for a 1st time trip to Arizona. Clean, convenient location, staff, amenities and dining were all top tier. The slots didn't pay out for our party but we still enjoyed playing.

Executive king room was right near resorts exhaust. Unbelievably loud and smelled like a hamburger. Had to switch rooms and was unable to get a room with a balcony which was a disappointment.

Our room was clean and we'll appointment. The bathroom was top notch. The casino was not as loud as a typical casino, clean and well kept with a great variety of machines and tables. People seemed to be having fun. We ate at the Blue Coyote Cafe, which was very good, both food and service. If you can get it at a reasonable price, highly recommend.

Comfortable rooms.. housekeeping was slow about making it around on a daily basis, ended up finding them to trade out for clean towels 2/4 days. The food at the cafe was very good! I’ve never stayed at a resort where ducks & geese were allowed to swim in the pool.. I didn’t mind bc I didn’t get in but unusual to see . Loved the live nightly music in the casino!

The hotel front desk staff were absolutely terrible. Upon arrival at 1pm they said rooms were not available yet and that they would text me when they were. I called to check at 3:30 pm as I had not received a text and they were so rude and said I would have received a text if rooms were ready. At 3:45 I went to the front desk and there was a bunch of people being checked in and given keys to rooms. When I told the front desk lady I had been waiting all day by myself to receive a text for a room she was soooooo rude and basically ignored my concern. I can’t tell you in detail on here all the ways that they were so rude to me but it was absolutely appalling. Should anyone ask me about talking stick resort I would very much warn them about the terrible front desk staff.
