Top hotels in Downtown
The Azure Hotel
Nice place, but no microwave in the room. They said they did not want any smells in rooms. Sucks if you want to eat anything in your room. They are cancelling their meager breakfast as of May 1, 2026.

Talking Stick Resort
Clean, large king room with view of the pool area. Several restaurants to choose from- steakhouse was excellent! 2 pools and both severed drinks and food. Spa was very nice with a view of the golf course. Would definitely go back. Spent 3 nights and didn't leave the resort.
