2 generous stars for the state of Arizona. Where to even begin with this state? I've been to all areas of this state and I keep coming back because sadly, I am invested in this place. I have a higher education degree from this state and some property here. The weather is bipolar....the summers are hot. The winters are freezing cold. There is no in between. The air quality is not the best. With all the desert plants everywhere, you will have allergies you never knew you had. The driving, OMG the driving in this state could be its own trash TV show! A near collision every time you drive anywhere here! The snowbirds/blue-hairs in the winter....please flock somewhere else! People here love to hate on California and people from LA, but I've got news for you....I've never been around so many angry, irate, mad, mean, rude, and pushy people as I've been around in Arizona. Not to mention the amount of road rage incidents I've seen! What is with the on-ramps to these freeways being all left turns and double stoplights? No wonder there are so many wrong way drivers. Has anyone payed attention to the crime all over this state? Every day, multiple shootings, kidnappings, deceased bodies being found, murders, human trafficking, etc. It's also not cheap to live here! Groceries and basic things are the same prices here as in Los Angeles. Every plant growing here has a thorn on it and every bug bites, stings, or poisons you! After about a week here, I'm ready to leave. I visit often. I've been all over this state and seen tons of sights. Tried most of the food places. There are certain things here that are good: Ducth Bros, Andy's, Black Rock Coffee, Culver's, Egee's, and now Buc-ee's. However, this is not a place I could live full time. Places in AZ I've been to: Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, Yuma, Flagstaff, Lake Havasu, Ehrenberg, Quartzsite, Buckeye, Wickenburg, Grand Canyon, Peach Springs, Kingman, Hackberry, Sedona, Payson, Winslow, Tonto National Forest, Superstition Mountains/Lost Dutchman state park, Goldfield ghost town, Salt river, Saguaro Lake, Usery mountain park, Tortilla Flat, Roosevelt, Globe, Miami, Kearny, Winkleman, Hayden, Saguaro National Park, Benson, Tombstone, Bisbee, Eloy, Coolidge, Casa Grande, Maricopa, Sun Lakes, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Apache Junction, Mesa, Gold Canyon, Tempe, Superior, Goodyear, Avondale, Litchfield Park, Verrado, Kingman. I'm sure there are a few I've missed, but I've been all over this state. read more

On our way from Flagstaff to Phoenix, we stopped at the Meteor Crater Natural Landmark and man - the sight is incredible! There are other exhibits that you can check out, but the major attraction (the meteor crater) is breathtaking taking and MASSIVE. Pictures do it no justice. If you've can check it out, I highly recommend! The address is: Meteor Crater Natural Landmark, I-40 Exit 233, Winslow, AZ 86047 read more

I absolutely loved visiting AZ with my husband on our anniversary trip. Good thing we went on May because it was starting to get hot when we visited. People were nice and very touristy but liked the hike and loved the train rides. read more

Simply put, I'm in love with Arizona! It is such a beautiful state for outdoorsy people and is filled with gorgeous landscapes, fantastic places to eat and an overall sense of serenity & peace. We visited Sedona for the first time in the Fall of 2021 and hiked a dozen trails, from Devil's Bridge to a Jeep Tour on the Broken Arrow Trail. It was there I saw my first wild tarantula. Recently we made our way to the Grand Canyon, Marble Canyon, Antelope Canyon and City of Page. I cannot say enough times how much I've enjoyed each visit with my husband of 25 years. We are eager to make plans to return, but this time we hope to bring our entire family to show them the beautiful treasures we've found in Arizona. It is no wonder people speak fondly of the vortexes, because Arizona truly seems to seep deep into your soul. I personally think the entire state is a vortex. Be sure to visit: Sedona, AZ Page, AZ Antelope Canyon Glen Dam Overlook Horseshoe Bend El Patio Mexican Restaurant The Hudson Restaurant Bell Mountain Chapel of the holy Cross Slide Rock State Park Devil's Bridge Trail The Tea Pots Trail Airport Mesa Grand Canyon via helicopter Lake Powell to Rainbow Bridge Grand Canyon Brewery and Marble Canyon/Vermillion Cliffs Cathedral Wash Slot Canyon read more

This is based on just 2 or 3 tris over the years to this great state. I drove through here with my parents as a kid and we made the usual tourist stops such as pertified forest, the meteor crater and Grand Canyoun. Ive flown in for a couple of business trips but didnt really get out of the resort! I always wanted to return but seems Ive been restricted to a few dive throughs. However, those drive throughs were always interesting especially when you see the huge suigaro cactus and desert. read more

I love it here. Been before for Phoenix and baseball and made it to Jerome. Loved that trip and am back solo meeting a friend at some point and staying in Sedona. Absolutely love it here and would love to live winters in Sedona. Such a slower pace that truly works for me and my brain injury. It's so cute here and the views are stunning. read more

Arizona was sooo beautiful. I am so glad I went on this group tour with my friends from Vegas for just a day. So sad we didn't get to see antelope because of the rain. Still very grateful for the Mother Nature gifts of horseshoe and the Grand Canyon. I am so glad I came here in the winter. Grand Canyon covered in snow was absolutely beautiful. I do want to say the west does look somewhat similar tho but it was still super beautiful. I know for sure I want to come back for local food, summer views and more importantly the hikes!! I love it!!! And now cross off another national park on my list! read more

If I could go back, I would because there's so much to see and do in this beautiful state. There's national parks to incredible hikes and sceneries it's literally endless. I've been to the Grand Canyon twice, hiked Devil's bridge, swung by Sedona around Native American lands, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe bend and much more! It's absolutely beautiful and you can really find yourself here. It's a wonderful way to self care and explore how beautiful this world can really be. read more

The Grand Canyon State! Other than my home state in California and Nevada, Arizona is the next state we frequently visited. If my mom would stop giving me guilt trips about leaving California I'd already be living here or elsewhere in the western part of the country. Since marrying my hubby 9 years ago I've enjoyed the beauty at these iconic places that the Great State of Arizona has to offer. The Grand Canyon was my first National Park to visit. One of the world's natural wonders we finally completed all four rims over the years. We did a single visit to each rim (the beauty are all different from each one) we'd like to come back and revisit again someday: Grand Canyon South Rim [Mather Point, Jul 8, 2010] Grand Canyon East Rim [Desert View, Dec 19, 2010] Grand Canyon North Rim [Oct 30, 2016] Grand Canyon West Rim - home of the Skywalk [Peach Springs, Nov 24, 2017] Visited an itty-bitty part of AZ at the Four Corners - one of the corners was AZ [Dec 6, 2012] and then drove to see the best preserved meteorite crater on Earth at the Meteor Crater [Winslow, Dec 6, 2012] We can't forget about Sedona and the pink jeep tours [May 23, 2013]... the red-rock buttes, steep canyon walls and pine forests surrounding this town are just so pretty. I would love to see this view everyday from my office window. Twice in the same year we visited the O.K. Corral in Tombstone [Mar 15 and May 3, 2015]. There's something about the history of the shootout between the Earp brothers facing off against the Clanton-McLaury gang that intrigued me. I love history now... (not back in high school, though) LoL! In September of the same year we stayed in one of our timeshare locations at WorldMark Rancho Vistoso [Oro Valley, Sept 5, 2015] and visited the Saguaro National Park [Tucson] and Casa Grande Ruins Monument [Coolidge]. Booked another timeshare location at WorldMark Pinetop [Pinetop, Oct 29-31, 2016] and enjoyed meeting Yelpers in Scottsdale [Hopping Across AZ UYE @ Hopdoddy's Burger Bar] Oct 29, 2016... such great people whom some I met during YSB San Diego. We actually came to Scottsdale to attend a wedding of one our Yelp friends, Corina J! Of course, we couldn't pass up seeing another national monument before leaving AZ at Tonto National Monument [Roosevelt, Oct 31, 2016] Completed both Lower and Antelope Canyons in two separate visits: Horseshoe Bend [Page, Sept 2, 2017] Lower Antelope Canyon [Page, Sept 2, 2017] Upper Antelope Canyon [Page, Nov 30, 2019] Horseshoe Bend [Page, Nov 30, 2019] Thank you Great State of Arizona!

Horseshoe Bend About a 1.5 mile walk to the scenic view It gets hot and there's no shade on the path so plan accordingly No need for hiking boots but wear something comfortable and something you won't slip on There is a gated portion of the scenic outlook but also plenty of access to the edge of the canyon where you can fall if you're not careful Busy spot for sunsets Pet friendly $10 admission (not covered by the National Parks Annual Pass) Parking on site (after you pay you pull in) Amazing photos ops especially from the left part of the bend read more

We came here to look at ASU and I ended up falling completely in love with Arizona and in particular the Phoenix area. I wasn't quite sure what I was expecting but whatever expectations I had were completely blown to bits by our amazing experiences. The first thing you can't not notice is the heat. You sometimes see 116 degrees on the news about the Phoenix area. Fortunately it was not 116 but rather 99. Sounds hot and I guess it is but I never really FELT hot. Dry heat? Lol indeed. I hate hot but this was different for certain. After about the forth day here it became clear that the heat indeed is dry. 9 percent humidity is the key to this. Still, not sure if I want to try it out later this summer when the real heat comes. We saw 3 homeless while we were here. We found that very odd but by no means a problem. We saw no graffiti on walls and things were very clean everywhere we went. The freeways are exceptionally clean AND fast I might add. Bay Area drivers have nothing on this area's drivers. Nobody goes slow here. Wow! The traffic signals all make sense. Landscape? Oh, just a little. You would need a few weeks to check the state thoroughly to be sure. In Phoenix the is a place called Dobbins Lookout. Eye opener. I've never really been in an environment like this before. The Grand Canyon? Haven't been yet but it's on the list. We just couldn't get over how everything was so clean. Someone put a ton of thought and effort into making sure all parts of the freeway look fantastic. I give AZ a solid five stars! read more

I've been to and through Arizona several times over the course of 20 years. And while I haven't seen everything this state has to offer, I have seen a lot. I have done from a weekend road trip from California to a 10-day road trip from Florida. I always found something cool to see... If you are planning on being in the area, I have visited and would definitely recommend The Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest National Park, Saguaro National Park, Lake Mead, Meteor Crater, Red Rock State Park. O.K. Corral, Route 66, Organ Pipe Cactus Parkway, The City of Tombstone, Arizona, Old Tombstone Wild West Theme Park, Saloon Theatre, and The Cities of Tempe, Arizona and Flagstaff, Arizona. This itinerary should definitely keep you busy. The colors and the energy of Arizona is wonderful and magical for anyone new to the state. read more

Finally went to the Grand Canyon and loved it! Great place to hike, and check out intricate sceneries and natural rock structures. Arizona has a very hot climate. Be prepared for it. I love heat so I love AZ. Stay hydrated as it is a dry heat. read more

I've been to Phoenix a half dozen times, though only twice since I've been Yelping. And last year, my road trip from Denver to Las Vegas brought me through Arizona with stops in Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon. Yes, the Grand Canyon is absolutely incredible. A World Wonder in fact and you should not miss it. Please understand that it's not exactly close to Phoenix. It's at least a 7 hour round trip and understand that the Highway Patrol will pull you over for going faster than the posted 80 miles an hour speed limit. But there's more to the state than the Canyon. The Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff was where Pluto was discovered. The Pima Boneyard is where old aircraft go when they're not needed any more. Monument Valley, on the Arizona/Utah border. The Hoover Dam, on the Arizona/Nevada border. Sedona, Havasu Falls, Petrified Forest. Antelope Canyon. And I've only been to *some* of those places. Writing this list has me thinking that I need to be back in Arizona. Soon. read more

Wow. Who knew you could review individual states on Yelp? Anyway... It was a great joy to travel to this amazing state and see all it had to offer. So much to see. Where to being? Well we explored parks. Different places to eat. Had the joy of going to THE BEAUTIFUL GRAND CANYON! Go and watch the sun come up over the canyon. And the sun go down later on. It will take your breath away and sweep you away with the sheer magnificence of it. Sedona is just as stunning. You are surrounded by Red Rocks. Try to eat in town maybe outside or at least somewhere with mountain views. You may encounter a little town called Two Guns. I think the population was four people when we went and we met two of them. So we can say we met half the town! Loved Scottsdale. The homes were so unique looking. Did not love Phoenix. Sorry but there was alot of smog and it was to much of an urban sprawl for me. We got lost a few times. One thing I would advise: it can get hot in Arizona and sometimes you cannot feel the heat. It really isn't a humid heat like Florida. On days when it is REALLY hot..and it did reach 115 degrees while I was out there..you need to drink plenty of water and hydrate yourself, particularly if going outdoors. I wound up getting Sunstroke which my wonderful friend called to my attention. It really IS a dry heat so be aware. Loved the whole state though. It is a stunning collage of glorious mountains, parks and stunning horizons. I cannot imagine how cool it is to live there. We had a great time and if you haven't been you need to go! read more

Yelp for a State: How Cool! Is the entire state is as friendly as all the places we visited?!?! Click on "me" to read all my reviews of our trip flying in/out of Vegas and encircling the Grand Canyon. - Bridge at Hoover Dam: step in/out of the State Line. - Kingman: Make a point to go to Garibaldi's (absolutely see my review & make a point to go - best meal of our entire trip, seriously!). FYI: 1.5 hrs to Grand Canyon West from here (shorter vs Peach Springs & Seligman). - Seligman: A "MUST" VISIT/STAY! Historic Route 66 & AKA "Radiator Springs" from the movie "Cars." See my reviews of Seligman, Canyon Lodge (best lodging), Delgadillo's! - Peach Springs: It's "soul and purpose" is to do the whitewater experience including a night at Hualapai Lodge (book early & get a better room - important, given the train!). Consider Grand Canyon Caverns as a stop: just east/south of Peach Springs. - Williams: HIGHLY recommend A DAY here! Awesome town with cool shops and lots to see/do! See my reviews. The train, Wild West Junction, and Snack Shack are "musts." - Grand Canyon South Rim: Bull-ya! Crowds or not, a "must" if you want to have your breath taken away by the views! (See my reviews of El Tovar Hotel, El Tovar Dining Room (dinner), Maswik Lodge, +). - Grand Canyon East Rim: Awesome and different views of the Canyon! Driving eastwardly from the South Rim to vista points may be enough (we drove to Horseshoe Bend, encircling the Canyon). Again, see my reviews to plan accordingly; do recommend including Antelope Canyon if you have time. ARIZONA: Our 1st time here. After our experiences, it's a state I'd consider moving to... especially because of how nice the people are in our experiences! Hope this helps! read more

A very good state, although the summer temperatures can be close to unbearable. I find the best way to combat the desert heat is with a cool dessert. So I'll let you in on a secret...my favorite ice cold trick to beat the heat is a cool and refreshing Schlitz cocktail. It is a can of Schlitz beer served with whipped cream and a cherry on top. It tastes as good as it sounds, and is a delicious way to power through those hotter months. read more

A beautiful state. Not just for the Grand Canyon or Phoenix, but also check out Tucson, Tombstone, and literally anyone of their state parks. Great for Route 66 exploring and check out BioDome 2. read more

REVIEWER #9 MY FIRST TIME TRAVELING TO ARIZONA!!! Now that we got that out of the way! WHOA! Arizona has been on my to-do list for a while and when my trip finally came up I was extremely enthusiastic. After hearing all the negatives about this state: It's too hot (115 and over) and there's nothing to do out there...blah..blah ...blah I can definitely say I enjoyed my 4 days and there was so much to do and see that I could have stayed more days! THINGS TO DO: * Grand Canyon (My favorite part of my trip!) * Marshall Butterfly Pavilion (I didn't get to see it but I hear it's a great experience) * Pink Jeep Tour(They have TONS of tours! Try one of them, you won't be disappointed) * Phoenix Zoo * Campe Verde out of Africa Wildlife Safari (The BEST thing you can possible do it AZ!) Please don't come to AZ WITHOUT doing this! * Castles N Coasters * Desert Botanical Garden * Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium NIGHTLIFE: * Scottsdale (Has TONS of bars and shopping to do) * Downtown Phoenix * Cobra Arcade Bar BEST FOOD: * Taqueria Los Yaquis- Have you seen taco truck sale tacos for a $1? Because in California that is definitely hard to find out here! * Social Tap (Perfect for nightlife and where else can you get a great bar and food joint? * Dillons KC BBQ * Majerle's Sports Grill SHOPPING: * Tons of boutique stores! I didn't get to see all of them but I love boutiques so I definitely, recommend you go to a few. * Outlets of Anthem * Scottsdale Fashion Square Okay, So take notes because not only are these the best places and joints to go to when you're in AZ but I was nice enough to give you some of my itinerary. (Thank me later) Have a wonderful time in AZ because I sure did! Everyone is nice and the weather (although it's hot) It's a great place to be! Until next time Arizona! REVIEW 78/196 read more

You Know You're In Arizona When .... You think Taco Bell is the local phone company. You notice your car overheating before you drive it. You no longer associate bridges or rivers with water. You can hear the weather forecast of 115 degrees without flinching. You can be in the snow, then drive for an hour...and it will be over 100 degrees. You discover, in July it only takes two fingers to drive your car, because your steering wheel is so hot. The best parking is determined by shade.....not distance. You run your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace. You realize that "Valley Fever" isn't a disco dance. You can make sun tea instantly. Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one. It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation and yet all the streets are totally empty of both cars and people. You actually burn your hand opening the car door. Sunscreen is sold year round and kept right at the checkout counter. You put on fresh sunscreen just to go check the mail box. Some fools will market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools will actually buy them. Worse.....some fools actually try to jog. You can pronounce Saguaro, Tempe, San Xavier, Canyon de Chelly, Mogollon Rim, and Cholla. You can understand the reason for a town named "Why" You can fry an egg on the hood of a car in the morning. You know hot air balloons can't rise because the air temperature is hotter than the air inside the balloon. No one would dream of putting vinyl inside a car. You see two trees fighting over a dog. You can say "Hohokam" and people don't think you're laughing funny. You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the Salt River You have to go to a fake beach for some fake waves You hear people say "but it's a dry heat!" You buy salsa by the gallon. Your Christmas decorations include sand and 100 paper bags. You think a red light is merely a suggestion. All of your out-of-state friends start to visit after October but clear out come the end of April. You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is clever. Most of the restaurants in town have the first name "El" or "Los." You think 60 tons of crushed red rock makes a beautiful yard. Your house is made of stucco and has a red clay tile roof. Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer. Most homes have more firearms than people. Kids ask, "What's a mosquito?" People who have black cars or black upholstery in their car are automatically assumed to be from out of-state or nuts. You know better than to get into a car with leather seats if you're wearing shorts. If you haven't worked for Motorola at some time, you must be a newcomer. You can finish a Big Gulp in 10 minutes and go back for seconds. You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Arizona. You take rain dances seriously. You've signed so many petitions to recall governors you can't remember the name of the incumbent. When a rainy day puts you in a good mood. When you drive two miles around a parking lot looking for a shady place - even in the dead of winter. You feed your chickens ice cubes to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs. You "hug" a cactus only once in your lifetime. When you have to look up "mass transit" in the dictionary. A hundred ten in the shade is sorta hot, but you don't have to shovel it off your driveway. You wear a bola tie. You take a stroll on Ho Hum Way. The beer is chilled and filled with chili. A haboob happens. Petrified doesn't mean scared. Standin' on the corner sounds good. The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a bit chilly. You've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl. You would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face. You can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top. You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.

I will feature the State I've called home for the past few years for my 1900th review. Here's a breakdown of this State: Pro's + Warm weather. The Southern part of the State is warm for the majority of the year...sure beats shoveling snow and wearing layers of clothing. + Sports. There are a ton of sports in this State.....college, pro's (NFL, MLB, NBA, WNBA, NHL, Arena Football), Fiesta Bowl, Phoenix Open (golf), Spring Training Cactus League. + Scottsdale. I love living in this city. It's safe and fun. A great place to raise a family. + They have frequent gun shows. It seems like there's one every month. The gun laws here are not very strict and gun enthusiasts are everywhere. I've come to appreciate guns a lot since I've moved here. + Hiking options. There are a lot of hiking trails in the State with a nice variety of landscape. From mountains and pine trees to dry Sonoran Desert dirt and Saguaro cacti, there's something for everyone here. + Western lifestyle. There are some places in Arizona where you feel like you're in the Wild West. Con's - State Income Tax. Coming from a state that had no state income tax, it's hard to swallow the fact that we have to pay a % of our income to the State. - Politics. There's so much politics here and it carries over into everyday life. - Drivers. The drivers here in Arizona are baffling. They slow down BELOW the speed limit for no reason on the highways. People rubberneck over the dumbest things.....cars pulled over on the shoulder, cops on the side of the road, curves in the freeway. - Slow life. Stores, restaurants, bars close early here.....yawn. I get bored very easily out here. - Lack of good Asian food. Can't find very many good Pho or Ramen places. Overall, it's not too bad a place to live. I've lived in more exciting places, but it could be worse. It's definitely worth visiting if you've never been here before. read more

As the 48th State to join the Union, the landscape of this great land is varied and beautiful. I'm not sure if this location is the center of Arizona but I can say its capitol Phoenix, and its surrounding metropolitan area is spread out and each city has its own identity. The scenery is awe inspiring and at times almost surreal, from the out of the world scenes of monument valley in northeastern Arizona, the snowcapped San Francisco peaks of Flagstaff, the greatness of the Grand Canyon, the bright color hues of the red rocks of Sedona, the pines of the Mogollon Rim to the majesty of the vast Sonoran Desert, this state is a true artistic representation of how beautiful our land can be. Its capitol Phoenix is not too shabby either with its great freeway system, it's grid like planning, and picturesque views with the landmark Camelback Mountain in its center, the red lights of South Mountain and the largest public park to the iconic "A" Mountain of Arizona State University, the metro Phoenix is truly a Queen of the desert. Overall I'm proud to be a resident of this great state, and despite its current trials, and tribulations, the celebrations we do enjoy and love, I affectionately call myself a Zonie, and love my home. =) read more

I moved here from Chicago in '02. It took me awhile to get used to how different this desert city is compared to the good ol Midwest, but after I settled in, I've never regretted it! I love AZ! I cannot believe how many things there are to do here! Even water sports! I love our climate- summer is hot but it only sucks for a couple months. I think it's really fun that you have to dig and research for our gems. I discover new places to try, visit, eat, etc all the time and I feel I could stay here forever and never get bored. My heart is definitely here! read more

Was hot and dry. Too many cactus and no grass only rocks. I like the bushes they are nice.

I would not recommend his room to anyone first and foremost from the employees themselves people they clean the rooms they told us they don't wash the blankets they don't wash the comforter on top unless I see stains on it then they denied me a refrigerator for my medical insulin then I had a seizure at McDonald's where I was like a feeling lol I called my husband told him I'm feeling low I need you to come in and get me they told him he ran to the room put the dog in there so he can assist me with all the food and getting me back right mind you McDonald's is right in front of my door 20 steps away Lisa the manager claims that she is the owner here put me out of my room. Mind you my whole entire family from Chicago. We're coming in that would've been seven rooms and she did not wanna except none of them. Today was a day where she wanted to evict the whole entire complex , then she said I know my laws and I am the manager and I am the owner of this location. Therefore she told me I cannot get corporate phone number then I asked her what is the problem she said well you know what we don't we don't take your type of dog well, can you give me a list of the top dogs that you take because I've been here for four days and there was never a problem until one of your coworkers decides to come behind me and try to get frisky with me and my husband was watching that so all this is on camera . They don't care they don't want to do anything about it here. The mattresses are beyond disgusting the rooms are beyond disgusting. I had to take bleach and Fabuloso and clean this whole room so it smells good it smells right see I don't know where people were born so I was born in Chicago Illinois. I am a US citizen I'm an American And I'm proud to be also a Puerto Rican, but this is not home. This is nothing cozy. There's nothing here for family. This hotel literally stays empty all the time when Lisa feels like putting people out she has I have tons of pictures that I would like to add to this to show you guys there is more than 20 Pitbulls on this site, my dog is a great Dane lab , he is my medical dog for my emotions and my stress. This lady called me a liar in front of 10. Guess told me to take my nonsense somewhere else I've been banned from all the hotels down here. This is what Phoenix is showing people to put people out because they're having a bad day. Maybe I should've never walked into the office and she wouldn't put me out Security guard is just steadily on on as they just watching us watching us for what because I place a Chicago or maybe I live in Naperville where people have money, so not only that she lose money for the owner of the hotel losing eight rooms in total with mine asking us to leave and I family will stay in here for 21 days so you do the math and you figure it out and I was only gonna stay here because it was affordable affordable besides that I brought my own futon thrown on top of the mattress because the mattress, a horrible the cleaning a horrible the carpets are black There is nobody that works the front desk. There's no refrigerator microwave. There's no nothing basically they treat you like they want to and then they threaten you by calling the police I was not called on because I did not do anything and I recorded everything on my town. My end took pictures of the property to pictures of everybody's dogs . This is not what you want to come. This is not what you want to be. Do not come to this hotel I promise you if they if they have an itch and they're back they gonna kick you out believe me everybody's weird down here they just put you off for no reason I'm 50 years old diabetic half blind got a fake knee, broken hip broken pelvic can't really do much and then I'm a diabetic and they decide to put me out this hotel is not right they steal your money as they stole all my money read more

Just got back from a roadtrip through the state of Arizona. It is truly a beautiful state with lots to do and see and you're actually pretty close to neat things in other states. I stayed mostly near flagstaff and saw the ski resort. I'm from Louisiana so I don't see snow often and loved it. It was beautiful. I will say if you aren't used to high altitudes, be careful trekking up to snowbowl road. It's at nearly 10,000 ft elevation and within about 30 minutes I was feeling light headed. I also saw the Grand Canyon and man is it beautiful. All in all, if you're thinking of taking a vacation out west I highly suggest Arizona. You won't be disappointed. read more

I've been here my whole life, and I've never had an experience as great as this. From the one forest to the low hot desert Arizona is the place to be. I live in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area and love it, what I like to say is you get 3 months of hell and 6 months of heaven. But the shopping, food, culture, and beautiful desert landscaping really draw you in and make you feel relaxed, and special in your own way :-) read more

Arizona eye center in chandler. First appointment was good but second was bad I got there 15 min before my appointment and then 20 min past my time. I asked am I going to be seen anytime soon? They said where running behind. I waited 40 min past my scheduled appointment. If you don't have the staff to handle all of your appointments then don't schedule as many. So I went back a 3rd time again 15 min early and door was locked. I waited till 10 min after my time and door still locked. So I left and called them at 1:30PM and they said doctor was not in and we tried to call you. Thats funny I have no miss calls or voice messages. Most un professional staff (place) there time is money just like my time is important to me I said I will be looking for another doctor she said ok and hung up. Do not go there ! read more
