You're spoiled for sightseeing choice when in Alhambra. Grand Canyon University is a good place to start here, but there are many other worthwhile attractions to experience. Chase Field, Footprint Center, and Arizona State Capitol are near the modern university and will top off your day nicely.

8/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
The room was beautiful and clean. Very much of a home feeling. In the bathroom jacuzzi was great and relaxing. What I did not like was, in the room I stayed in had a connecting room that was being occupied. That’s something that made me feel very uncomfortable, I feel that should have been relied to me at check in. Also, I called in the morning to ask for 15 extra minutes so I could clean up and be sure I had all of my belongings. The female that answered was very very rude. Check out was at 11:00am and I understand that but 15 minutes to do the hotel a favor and clean up after myself is a bit ridiculous. Also, when booking my reservation I was told that the hotel was pet friendly but at check in there is a $150 pet non refundable cleaning fee. So I had a friend pick up my two 5 pound dogs.

9/10 Wonderful! (2,046 reviews)
Overall, we had a great experience at this property however, there were some upkeep and maintenance issues in our room such as broken bathroom lights and a coffee maker that was not easy to get to work. We reported these issues when we left. The dining options and multiple pools and hot tubs were a plus!

Every service member we encountered was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. One thing to note is the concrete walk ways make maid-cart rolling and luggage (on wheels) rolling by or above rather annoying at 8am or earlier when thumping footsteps above you had kept you awake till 2am. The staff made up for that annoyance with their "kill 'em with kindness" spirit. They have customer service nailed! Beautiful pool and tasty offerings at the Grill, too!
