The property was tranquil and beautiful. Every staff member was kind and welcoming. Pool, bartender, breakfast, all fantastic. Courtyard by pool with fire pit. The hotel is situated in a newer developed area with lots of food options, antiques, boutiques, etc. walking distance. The room was really nice with fridge and microwave, comfy bed. The room, hotel, and entire property was among the cleanest and most well kept I've ever seen.

This has been our favorite destination until this stay. Area under both beds hadn't been cleaned in some time. There were dirty socks, food, and other debris found under the beds. Also, after 4:00 pm, the pool area is taken over by multiple families with children entering through the parking lot gate. Toys are scattered on the decks and there was extreme horseplay in the pool area two days in a row. Hampton staff need to do a better job monitoring their property. I don't recommend staying here during the summer months.

its overall is a great hotel, lovely pool and seating areas around pool. The great breakfast with a few nice touches that others don't offer. A few things though make it not quite perfect. Firstly, the last persons shoes were still in the closet, I know we can make mistakes but...One of the handles was missing in the bathroom and the extractor fan did not work. The gym could be great but whoever assembled it all didn't do a great job . One of the ellipticals and one of the treadmills made awful noises, maybe loose screws!!? Finally the hotel claims its soundproof, well maybe the neighbors above us were extra loud but they disturbed our sleep all night.

They need security to attend to hours of pool closure. I had to call front desk at 11pm when the noise of people talking was annoying. Need to explain the quiet hours as guests check in. People somewhere either in 201 or 205 were moving furniture, bouncing stuff off the walls and talking loud after midnight. The jacuzzi was simply lovely and loved the shower.

This hotel has such potential BUT the cleanliness and maintenance is a HUGE factor in my review! When we checked in the the bathroom floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for quite awhile and the corners under the sink had what looked like drywall dust or termites! There was food in the corners and under the bed (hard to reach areas but still should be cleaned). There was no stopper in the sink, the toilet was not clean and the seat was broken in the back. Both the entry and the bathroom doors had real problems. I could go on but I think that is plenty of items for people to get the picture. The females that worked the front desk during the day could care less of our concerns although the one on the first day of our stay did write down the maintenance items (we got a new toilet seat but not the any of the others). The good stuff- Beds and pillows Breakfast and breakfast employees The pool Location If you like these things and are not too concerned about cleanliness and things working properly than it’s a place for you. BUT this hotel is not anywhere near as good as other Hampton Inns and I don’t know how they can keep the affiliation/franchise!

We left in the middle of the night because apparently when the local bars let out, people come here and get rowdy. When I asked if there was anything staff could do, they said no - other than ask people to be quiet. They were very unsympathetic to the fact that we were leaving because of the noise and offered no incentive for us to return. My husband was packing the car so he walked out a separate door and heard an employee talking opening about me saying “if you wanted to be alone, stay at an Airbnb not a hotel”. Extremely rude, but I will take his advice and will not be returning. The two stars are because the hotel is very nice and clean, but I can’t get over the customer service. If you want a quiet getaway, this isn’t it.

Our room wasn’t ready until 5pm- check in was supposed to be at 4pm. Once we finally got into our room and settled we went out to dinner we came back and our keys wouldn’t work. We walked back and forth to the desk 3x trying to get the keys fixed each time they said they fixed the keys but it didn’t work. Finally they had to come open the door for us. Staff didn’t seem very friendly or helpful. We will not stay here again.

Came to Phoenix area for the sheBelieves Cup. Hotel ticket prices were like $300 a night. Didnt want to pay that much so we looked for something cheaper but still wanted nice. Although Carefree was about 40 mins away from Glendale it was definitely worth the drive. Hotel was very nice and clean. And the town of Carefree was definitely a very nice surprise. We would definitely stay here again!

Would have to say, they truly need someone who knows how to make coffee! This has to be some of THE worst coffee I have ever had at a Hotel. They are always OUT of dark roast (which is usually weak even if you get it), and the light roast is like dirty water. We have stayed 4 times in the last 2 months and we go to the bike shop across the plaza every morning to get our coffee! Hotel is adequate, clean and convenient…it’s the COFFEE that needs attention!
