    Staff is so friendly and coffee was delicious however I went today and found it difficult to enjoy myself as times we came in the past. Many mothers were on their phones and not watching their children. Kids were throwing toys and parents were not having them pick up their mess. I found myself cleaning other kids messes so I would not have to worry about my son tripping over random blocks on the floor. If we were to come back, I'd really like it if there's possibly a staff member that would be able to monitor the play area and ensure parents are being responsible and watching their children. I really enjoyed this place in the past, but I was really frustrated leaving today.

    Honoring black history month I loved this so much!!!

    OBSESSED is an understatement!! The perfect place to bring your infant/toddler/kid AND they have a coffee shop inside?! What more could us mammas want! I got the strawberry matcha and I'm not joking it was probably one of the best I've EVER HAD!!! The coffee is incredible here you could come just for that. The play area is amazing and so clean- they have a great cleaning policy here between play sessions that puts our mind at ease! My 9 month old had a great play date here we spent more than an hour! McKenna B was so kind and made us feel very welcomed. I highly recommend this play area to all parents. I'll probably be back here a million times the best concept!!

    A wonderful business in the Bird House Complex. The best way for me to describe The Little Play Avenue is a " fancy indoor playroom". It's not a traditional playground with slides and swings. Rather, it's a play area focused in imaginative play. My baby is too young for imaginative play but enjoys, calling around and playing with different toys and reading different books. This playroom is best for toddlers so they can dress up, pretend to go to a market, play with puppets. Still, there is something for all baby and toddler ages here! I've tried two items from the coffee shop which was an August matcha special and a brewed tea. The matcha was delicious and not too sweet! The brewed iced tea was refreshing and floral! Otherwise, I've tried iced maple oat latte sample. This was smooth and seemed like the perfect cool drink for fall flavors during warm weather. In terms of service, I've had some variable experiences so far. The first time I stopped in to ask about their services, the employee was vague and wasn't very helpful. They told me to go their website and make an account. The interaction left me with no idea if the business hosted events, classes, or play sessions. The other two times that I visited, the service was phenomenal. An employee showed me where the nursing and diaper changing room was. The barista was friendly and informative about menu options. At the end of one of the play sessions, a sweet employee came over and played with my baby as well! Giving five stars as the space and concept is incredible and majority of service is wonderful. A great local business!

    We visited for the first time today, and it was truly one of the best business experiences I've ever had. I'm usually cautious about trying new places in this area because staff interactions can be hit or miss, but here, every single employee impressed me with their kindness and down-to-earth attitude. It was such a refreshing experience. I believe that customer interaction is something that's become very overlooked. Hospitality must be one of their key focuses. It's very obvious. The matcha was outstanding, and the play area was incredible, perfectly designed so you can relax in the seating area while still keeping an eye on your little one. Absolutely first-class! Usually watching a little guy can be very stressful, but I was very at ease with the setup and ambience. I've already recommended this place to friends, and I highly recommend it to you too.

    This is the most amazing play space I've seen! I took my daughter her for her second birthday and she had such a blast playing in the pretend grocery store, cafe, and animal hospital. This space is SO beautiful and well-designed. It is so clean- they close every 90 min to sanitize everything! The coffee shop is delicious, and you can even place an order from the play area so you don't have to leave your kiddo or stop them from playing. The staff are also very kind. The pricing here is on par with the other upscale boutique play spaces in Phoenix. Unfortunately that means it's just a "special occasion" place for our budget, but we'd be here every day if we could!

    The details of these play areas are amazing.

    This place sounded too good to be true, but it is true! It was very easy to log into their website and create an account to make a reservation. We chose the 8am time slot on a Thursday morning with an eagerness to try the coffee shop now connected to Play Avenue. The registration is affordable and worth it 100% in my opinion. This place is immaculately clean, smells amazing, plays calming music and is so cute we couldn't stop talking about it. The staff is so friendly and accommodating, checking in was easy and exciting. Staff walks around and will even engage with your kiddos. The bathrooms are gorgeous and have everything you would need from new born to toddler, even the hand towels are high quality. The coffee is delicious, I had an iced Americano. You get to sit at a Paris esque cafe table while you watch your kid play. They have pastries and snacks as well as drinks for the younger palettes. I love this place and will come back every time I'm in Phoenix.

    Very clean and well organized space. Lots of toys and play spaces in a safe space. My child had a great time!

    It was the perfect place to nurse my 2 month old while my son played with his Gigi in the play area.

The settings within it are so varied and fun to hang out in and explore, and many of our guests came to tell us how gorgeous it was. Moving on from looks, Boojum Tree also has fantastic package deals, which made planning for the wedding so much less stressful from out of state. To have a set of great vendors already included (bar, catering, DJ, and day-of-coordinator), as well as decorations, silverware, linens, chairs, ceremony equipment, etc etc was the best thing and really helped us be present and enjoy our wedding. Our day-of-coordinator, Jennifer, was also incredible! She took great care of us, staying organized, moving around flowers and decorations, ensuring our wedding favors were at each table, coordinating with our other vendors, helping with an emergency dress bustling, keeping us on time, and hundreds of other things that we did not see behind the scenes. She clearly works hard and is amazing at what she does. This was the perfect venue for the best day of our lives and booking with Boojum was the single best decision we made. We cannot sing their praises enough and could not have had the wedding we did without them. We are so thankful to the team that made it happen!

    I never leave reviews but this is something that I had to say. I was having trouble with an ARCIS…read moreMembership question. I called the golf shop and James answered the phone. He not only tried to help me with the problem but he researched how to help me and called me back when he found the information. After figuring out what needed to be done, it was needing a managers approval. James was able to get the situation to the manager and he personally called me to explain how we could fix the situation. The manager called another club and made the situation work out. Unbelievable effort Customer service has been declining in pretty much every area of the service industry over the last 5 yrs or more. The effort given by James and the manager was nice to receive. Thank you very much to James and the Manager (I think his name is Josh.)

He asked why we needed another cart. He never told us our rounds came with a cart. I also witnessed 2 guys (who we ended up playing with) who checked in got the worse service. Andy threw (literally) their receipt and credit card at them. It's just unacceptable, especially first thing in the morning prior to tee off. I have staff on the front line and would never let this slide. I hope he gets some good customer service training or put him behind the office away from the public.

    I stayed here using the Chase Edit benefit…read more We picked this hotel because they do not charge pet fees and the valet parking is included in the resort fee (self parking is free). Service: Everyone was very nice and accommodating. Everyone loved my dog. Room: It's decent, nice but wasn't as luxurious as other properties in the same level. It is a bit weird to have the shower in the middle of the room and an open concept bathroom separated by a curtain. The bed is comfy and place was quiet. Even so the Edit said upgrade possible if available, we did not get an upgrade :(. Boo. Food: Hearth 61 had pretty good food and the Edit gives $90 a day for 2 for breakfast. That is a very generous amount. They serve the food until 2pm (more like brunch) so you can technically can get two meals out of the credit. Credit doesn't all have to be one transaction. Dog amenities: They give you a dog package with a bed, bowl, poo bags, pee pad, and treats. There isn't a designated relief area but there are multiple areas around you can take your dog. There is no grass or turf and it's all rocks. The bad: The room has no fridge and if you want a fridge you have to pay $25 (freezer is $40). We needed one so we decided to use part of our Edit $100 credit to get one. Kinda annoying for a resort room to not have a fridge and if not, why isn't the fridge fee included in the resort fee? Late checkout is at 2pm. When you check out, make sure you ask for an itemized bill. For some reason, the computer took the charges from the $100 credit first and did not apply it to the breakfast credit so we ended up owing $100. However a quick mention to the front desk and they were able to take care of that for us. ALSO, not a hotel thing but I must mention, Paradise Valley has speeding and red lights cameras on Lincoln. They are enforced for BOTH and the speed limit is 40mph. Do not go over or you will get flashed -_-

    The standout is the amazing service! We were here for only 2 nights and from the start with David…read moreat the reception desk the staff made the stay absolutely more wonderful. Even Clarissa at the gift shop was amazing. We asked about getting the same Qtips as in our room. Yes, even the Qtips at this place are special! She said she would check with house keeping and we went to the proshop. She found us and gave us some of the Qtips. The qtips were minor but her customer service was absolutely amazing! This type of service was with all the staff! On our way out Regan at the front desk took care of a calculation error on our bill with determination. Even though we said it was ok because it wasn't much, she worked the issue until it was fixed. Amazing! The rooms and other facilities (pools, gym, bar, lounge areas) matched the quality of service. From the comfortable beds to the impressive decor. This is a must stay resort!
