Only issue my wife and I have with Talking Stick Casino is the price of drinks whilst playing slots. I can see $7-$10+ at a nice bar in the casino or restaurant, but for a drink while gambling?

Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort
Room and property need updating. Plumbing issues lasted more hours than stated on the notification left at our door. Nearly impossible to find parking near our building so longer walks up steep stairs were required.

Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak
We enjoyed our stay, staff were very helpful. We loved the lazy river it was open till 7 even with it being a Sunday! The bar and food was a little over priced they should consider a small fee to BYOB but otherwise we loved it!
