My stay exceeded my expectations. I was here to attend a medical conference and needed to arrive 1 day earlier than my reservation was for. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate me and allow me to check in early which was most appreciated after a long flight from NY. The amenities in room and the facilities and services throughout were exceptional. Every restaurant had delicious food and impeccable service.

We flew into Phoenix late at night but we knew this is where we wanted to stay from past experiences at Drury Inn. By the time we landed and picked up our rental car we didn't arrive until almost midnight. The night clerk looked like he might have been asleep when we arrived. Other than that, check in was quick. Our room was good size with a small refrigerator and a balcony. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet. The water pressure and temperature was good in the morning. There were many tasty choices for breakfast in the morning and the front desk clerk was very friendly when we checked out. I am sorry we did not get a chance to take part in the 5:30 kick off! I would stay here again.

We had a memorable girls' night at the Biltmore. We started with dinner at Renata's Hearth, then went to the Citrus Club Lounge and enjoyed a drink by the fire on the patio. Traci, the hostess, was gracious, and accommodating. She made sure we were comfortable, and happy. We wandered the gorgeous grounds after and took turns spinning on the rotating chairs, falling off and laughing.

Our family gathered for a memorial day weekend while celebrating my son's 3rd birthday. We can't say enough good things about this place, gorgeous setting, and excellent service, and we were very impressed with the property's incredible views. Even more impressive was just how much the staff cared about making sure our stay was perfect, from a room with a nice view at check-in to each person's care and professionalism. Thanks to Ms. Nermina for taking the time to answer our questions. A special shout out to Sherry from In-room dining; she was so pleasant and always happy to serve us!

The Clarendon Hotel and Spa is located in the heart of Phoenix, close to the convention center, museums, parks, shopping, theaters, sports venues and concert halls. Walking distance to two Metro rail stations - $4 for a 24 hour pass, the system runs 24 hours (except 1am to 4am Monday through Thursday) and provides direct access to the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport SkyTrain. Full service spa on site. El Techo, our gorgeous rooftop SkyDeck overlooking the city skyline and surrounding mountain ranges, and the Oasis pool area with heated pool and jacuzzi and the world's largest outdoor water wall.
Check in was easy and well explained for parking and additional resort fees. Fuego restaurant and bar on site was a nice amenity, great staff and awesome beverages and food on the main menu and during happy hour. Small lounge had live music in the evening which was a nice touch. Everything else was average and met level of expectations. Central outdoor pool and hot tub was in average condition. One area of concern was the bathroom which seems to have poor ventilation and obvious mold damage with poor coverup/patch paint job. Not a good thing for any guest, but especially anyone with health conditions or asthma related breathing problems. Overall experience is a 3 star for staff and guest service. The building/rooms and upkeep of all areas seemed to be a little bit lacking and starting to slide for a 4 star boutique hotel. Nothing spectacular for a place charging a resort fee, but for the price it was tolerable.
