We haven't been to this location in over 4 years or more. The staffs friendliness hasn't changed everyone is so welcoming. The room I was in was somewhat updates with new couch and dining table. Some new upgrades to the room. The tiles were still old. I'm having a great time even thought there's a heat wave going on. They have great AC! read more

I have stayed at the Marriott a few times as part of the timeshare and have to say this was the best trip so far. We enjoyed the lazy river which is nearby and had a chance to make guacamole. Sometimes you need to get away and just enjoy your trip and we did that. Housekeeping came by and I only needed more towels. read more

The units were refreshed fall 2024. New paint, carpets, mattress, sofa, nice throw pillows. Some appliances. Sadly a roach was found on our unit today. July 23, 2025. The bars of bathroom soap now are horrible. It's a cost savings. Not a solid bar any more. It's a bunch of hollow soap tubes stuck together and when you stay after 2 days it breaks up into unusualness shards of tubes. It's a real mess and hard to gather to wash hands. Very short sided. You also have to pay to have towels replaced. Must wash them yourself. If you have a studio without washer dryer you'll need to ask how to do this. read more

The resort all in all is great, but not geared toward travelers who prefer not to be surrounded by kids. Personally, I'd prefer not to dodge teenagers and their over aggressive Top Gun volley ball playing when I stay at a resort. No structure in place to make sure all are happy. It seems like it's over run with kids and teens.we won't be back. Perhaps it's the time of year we visited (late May). Our villa is clean and welcoming and has great appointments that made settling in easy. Spacious with comfortable beds, a nice balcony, and plenty of parking, and I'd rate the room alone at 5 stars., If you have teens and toddlers, bring them here. If you want to have an adult experience, go elsewhere. Perk; the surrounding area is full of things to do. The close by outdoor mall offers an array of dining experiences, shopping, live music, and plenty of space to explore. read more

This was hotel close to then Scottsdales airport and not far from shopping center area. The beautiful feature for timeshare owners is you have access to JW Desert Ridge property which is lovely. The staff was very accommodating with allowing us to check in early. The rooms size were small and did not easily accommodated 4 people. I would definitely recommend you staying here if you are a Marriott Timeshare owner. read more

They have only one bar and Grill and it is closed most of the time. Getting towels was a major problem. Expected a lot better service for Marriot resort. There was no Shuttle service to go to the JW Marriot across the street in the middle of the heat. Worst Marriot I've been to and we are Marriot owners . read more

It was an unbelievable that after my initial review during the same stay the air conditioning was turned off during a heat wave. The only thing that saved me and my family is that it was during the night when temps outside were low 90's. I had to call to remind staff in the morning to send engineering. I am still in disbelief that this occurred. read more

One of the Worst Marriott Experiences - Canyon Villas Misses the Mark on Every Level, especially from this caliber of hotel. We were really looking forward to our stay at Marriott's Canyon Villas, traveling as an extended family with grandparents, kids, and grandkids; to enjoy what we assumed would be a high-quality, family-friendly resort. Instead, this was hands down one of the worst Marriott stays we've ever had. Despite booking two 2-bedroom villas nearly 10 months in advance and specifically requesting to be near each other, we were placed in completely different buildings. When we brought this up to the front desk, we were met with a shrug and told the rooms were already pre-assigned, no effort to accommodate, no solutions, and frankly, no empathy. Then came the water outage. We lost all water access for over six hours one afternoon. When service was finally restored, there was still no hot water until the following day. During that entire time, communication from staff was minimal, and urgency was nonexistent. We weren't even given clear updates, just told to "wait." That's not just inconvenient, that's basic infrastructure failure. As if that weren't enough, we also dealt with clogged sinks, which when requested to fix no one ever came by. Towel service? That'll be $30 per request.. not per day, not per stay.. but every single time you want fresh towels brought up to your room. And they don't offer daily room refreshes, either. Again, when staying at a Marriott there is the expectation of certain quality of service and basic amenities; neither of these are present at this location. The rooms themselves were severely outdated. The bathrooms had been updated, but the living spaces, furniture, mattresses, and pillows felt worn down and uncomfortable. It was hard to get a decent night's sleep, and nothing about the accommodations said "resort-level comfort." The one redeeming thing? The property looks nice from the outside. It has a family-friendly layout, decent landscaping, and they did have small various activities for kids throughout the day, which was appreciated. But the service felt like a bottom-tier motel: slow, disorganized, and indifferent. We brought all this to the attention of management. The manager we spoke with was unfriendly, unhelpful, and showed no interest in resolving anything. No sense of ownership, no solutions, and zero acknowledgment of how much we'd planned or spent to make this trip happen. For a Marriott resort, especially one supposedly geared toward families. that's unacceptable. Bottom line: * Villas booked far in advance but split into separate buildings * No running water for 6+ hours, cold water until next day * Clogged sinks, missing essentials, poor response time * $30 per towel request with no daily refresh * Unhelpful, indifferent staff and management * Outdated rooms, worn-out mattresses, terrible sleep Whether this is a management issue or a sign of a deeper decline, I don't know. But we won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend Canyon Villas to anyone traveling with family or expecting even basic Marriott standards. read more

Marriott's Canyon Villas is a well-run, family-focused resort in the Desert Ridge area of Phoenix. The villas are clean, spacious, and come with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The grounds are attractive and well-kept, and guests can also enjoy access to the neighboring JW Marriott Desert Ridge for additional amenities like a spa, golf, and more dining options. This resort shines for families. It's full of kid-friendly activities--splash pads, pool games, and daily events--making it easy for parents to kick back by the pool while the kids run wild. The atmosphere is laid-back and casual, definitely a hamburgers, chicken wings, and fries kind of place. Perfect for family fun, less so for solitude. If you're coming here as an adult without kids, just be aware that it's not a quiet or elegant experience. You may encounter groups of high school or college-aged guests, especially during school breaks, which can lead to late-night noise or party-like behavior. It's not a refined or serene retreat, and it's definitely geared toward families more than couples or solo travelers. Check-in is at 4 p.m. and check-out is at 10 a.m., and the resort runs on a tight, high-volume schedule. It has to function like an efficient machine to keep guests moving in and out, and that scale can sometimes come at the expense of personal attention. Service is generally friendly and professional, but with so many people cycling through, things can feel rushed or impersonal. Delays with housekeeping or requests aren't common, but during busy periods, the overall focus leans more toward efficiency than customization. All in all, Marriott's Canyon Villas delivers a solid, energetic stay for families. If you're looking for relaxation, quiet, or a tailored adult experience, it might not hit the mark--but for a family getaway with space to play and plenty to do, it gets the job done. read more

DO NOT GO!!! WILD BOAR!!! If I could give 0 stars I would. The staff is incompetent and are no help. Let me set the stage: 1. I am currently on a work trip and am sharing a room with a colleague. My colleague came a day early and stayed in their own room. When they checked out, they left their two bags and asked if they would bring their bags to my room once I checked in. When I checked in, they confirmed that they had the bags, AND I ASKED 6 TIMES IN THE SPAN OF THE 5 MINUTES OF CHECKING IN IF THEY WOULD DROP OFF THE BAGS. They CONFIRMED 6 TIMES that they would. We left for the day, came back late, and went back to the front desk just to make sure that their bags were dropped off before we went to the room. NOPE!!! THEY WERENT!!! THANK GOD WE CHECKED!!! 2. We had shipped a small package that was essential to the success of our work trip. We shared tracking with them, and it was delivered 1 day before our arrival. WE ASKED 9 TIMES (every single time we passed the front desk over the span of the first 2 days. Again, this package was ESSENTIAL). On the tenth check in with the front desk, they said that they stumbled upon it. This was extremely disappointing. 3. We spilled soda on our sheets and did not want to sleep in the same sheets, so I called the front desk and requested for a sheet change / room service. The woman said not a problem, put me on hold to confirm that this would happen, and then let me know that someone was on their way to clean. We were gone all day and were absolutely exhausted when we came back, but to our surprise the room was not cleaned and there was still the sticky soda on our sheets. We went to the front desk to ask for someone to come and clean, and they said they couldn't, acted like they had no idea about the call, and said that we would have to change the sheets ourselves. When the sheets were dropped off (shocked that they actually pulled through with one of their promises) THEY DROPPED OFF THE SHEETS IN A BAG AS IF IT WAS A DOORDASH DELIVERY AND THE PERSON WAS ALREADY GONE. 4. My other colleague was walking to pick up a pizza, and was almost attacked by a wild boar. They had to fend for themselves and were terrified. 5. They left cleaning supplies in our room. 6. WiFi only had one bar. Overall, we are extremely disappointed and worst of all, we did not even get one apology, just someone basically playing ding dong ditch with sheets. I am a loyal Marriott customer, but I am very upset with how my stay has gone. I hope in the future they actually do what they say and pull through with their promises. read more

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. My second time coming and last time it was Christmas 2018. Nothing was open and the weather wasnt right. Fast forward, and my daughter attends GCU so Grandma, my son and I booked a 1 bed plus a studio. My daughter came and stayed in the studio so she could continue to study in quiet. Son, my mom and I comfortably shared the one bed room. I enjoyed cooking in the full kitchen and dining together at the large table that seats 6. My mom enjoyed people watching and sitting on the balcony which seated 4. My daughter had her own space and balcony in the studio which seats 2. The studios do not have a stove but have a smaller fridge, coffee pot and microwave. They put us next to each other ((thoughtfully-- thanks to the room planner for that!)) So she could seperate or attach back to us as she was able. It was 100 something so the ice maker in the room was awesome. We tried to catch all the recreation events we could. We made bracelets, candy sushi, made play-doh, and painted snakes. We played in the water fall and brought our floaties and noodles. We had the $10 special-pina coladas by the pool and lunch and breakfast in our room. Do it up nice for your family and cook something that smells amazing for breakfast. I took a quick trip to near by Albertsons and took balls of Pilsbury freezer biscuits and rolled biscuit balls in butter, cinnamon and brown sugar splenda (my mom is diabetic- so when able I cook our food do she can rnjoy sweets too) and found something cinnominy to smell as they woke up the first morning with coffee. They loved it! DO bring coffee cream and cooking spices/oil. Shout out to the presentation team- Ryan D. And Dana, Housekeeping, Front Desk, Grounds and Recreation Team. We enjoyed the nature walk(40 mins thru property on flat ground-bring some water.) We opted to not venture over to the JW Marriott this time. Theres plenty to do if you dont go to JW Marriott. Plus if little guy or Grandma got tired, we just went back to our room read more

Staff: Generally welcoming and helpful--had issues with the first villa I stayed in (upstairs neighbor was tromping around starting ~2AM for the rest of the night) and was able to move to another villa for the rest of my stay. Basics/amenities generally met expectations: there was definitely wear-and-tear, especially around the baseboards in the bathroom, but overall both villas I stayed in were neat, clean, and well-appointed: - Electrical outlets near both sides of the bed with bedside tables - Good counter space in the bathroom (there were two vanities, one in the room with the toilet and the step-in-shower and one in the room that was open to the bedroom with the soaking tub) - Hair dryer (no shower cap) - 2 bars of soap - Lightly scented shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in dispensers attached to the wall in the shower - Terrific vent fan in bathroom (great for creating white noise when neighbors were noisy) - Tissues - HVAC worked, though the temperature controls were capped - Free, basic wifi - Dining room table (for 6) and full kitchen with utensils, cutlery, dishes, pots/pans - Washer/dryer in unit (with detergent) - Water available in the reception area as well as the fitness center - Complimentary basic coffee/tea machine available - Ice machine available - Basic fitness facility housed in two rooms: the first with cardio equipment (e.g., treadmills, ellipticals, recumbent cycling machines) and the second with strength equipment (e.g., weight bench, free weights, weight training machines). At least one of the treadmills was broken and the strength machine was difficult to workout in later in the morning when there were 5+ people working out, but overall the facility was fine. (No bathroom attached to either fitness room.) - Pickleball, shuffleboard, pool(s) were sprinkled throughout the property. Location: Not that walkable, except to the neighboring Marriott. There was one shopping center relatively close by, but no sidewalks to walk there. Overall, it seemed like a good place for families to vacation. read more

Reservation made months ago. We thought from write up that we were getting our usual (decades long membership) 1 bdrm. Instead they gave us a shotgun long and narrow studio. No kitchen, no bedroom, no washer and dryer for a 1 week stay. Front desk said only main office could make us whole. Last 5 years our experiences have slowly eroded in quality. This was one of the worst, right up there with Park City which had torn and dirty rugs, shabby furniture , appliances that broke down and rude salesmen. Going to have to see if there is a way to turn this around. We always used to feel like our stays were a home away from home. Makes us sad. But there is no excuse for a broken down mattress, which I'll be sleeping on tonight, and cheap, cheesy furniture. Certainly hope there aren't bedbugs read more

We loved it here. We have an 11 month old and she LOVED the pools. The bar and grill menu was amazing. The service was outstanding. And you get to use the JW Marriott pools if you want. Leaving I actually got excited for our next trip!! Traveling with an infant be difficult but going to a place like this made it so worth it read more

The rooms are very nice whether you get a studio, 1 or 2 bedroom unit they are all nice and comfortable. There are lots of activities to do every day for everyone and you can also use the pools over at the JW there are three water slides that look like a lot of fun. I know the lazy river my wife and I enjoyed it a lot. read more

This resort has always been a great family go-to stayca spot. When we vaca or stayca we are looking for more than just a place to rest our heads. Having children and a pool, trampoline, and toys, we want more. Classes, activities for us and the kids, pampering, extra special pools, and great places to shop and eat. Not to mention we need a full kitchen for cooking in between as I need to cook everything from scratch for one of our girls. Canyon Marriott Villas offer, comfortable rooms and beds with full kitchens and laundry in the units, and golfing. They have heated pools, splash pad, access to JW Marriott lazy river, pools, spa, bike rental, and trails. Desert Ridge outdoor mall is right around the corner for food, shopping, and entertainment. They have activities such as arts and crafts for kids and plenty of adult activities such as wine tasting and other activities. Always something new to experience. There are 2 EV charging stations on the property. The only thing that bums me out are Marriotts new pricing. Everything everywhere has almost doubled per night. We just don't go as much. We usually request the top floor though not guaranteed. Theybdo have elevators in case youbare onbthe second or 3rd floors. This visit we brought my mom as she is under my care. They are like apartments and plenty of space and comfort. Full kitchens! Tonight we are taking the girls to see the Imagine Dragons in concert. We didn't want to stay at the casino with the girls, nor be tok far away from my mom. This makes a perfect home away from home. read more

NOISY. HORRIBLE LOCATION. DO NOT EXPECT IT TO BE QUIET. OVER half of the complex is on a main road with zero views. It's like sleeping over a freeway. We asked twice to be relocated and we were denied. We left 3 days early. Plus, although there weren't many children when we were there, it was like a senior citizens home. Bingo on the patio. Woo hoo! The front desk forgot to give us the key to the JW Marriott across the street. They did not tell us how to open the gate after hours. The mattress was super squishy . The sheets and towels were rough. The only positive comment is that the unit was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. read more

Our family of 11 stayed April 30 - May 7, 2024. We booked/used 3 villas and the lock off sections too. They were all consecutive to each other in the 2500 series. I read the notice stating refreshing/revamping will start this summer and finish in the fall. Our rooms and kitchen/common areas all need updating. Our location put us about the same distance to two pools. Our decks/patios faced a water attraction, a huge shaded area, 2 shuffleboards, a cornhole game, 2 bocce ball courts, and 4 gas grills past that. From this huge common area, we watched countless dove, quail and rabbits. We used 2 of the grills to cook 4 beer can stuffed chickens, keep an eye on the 30 minute timers. We had plenty of really close covered parking. There are close by EV chargers too. In addition to using the in site pools we also enjoyed the JW pools, endless pool, and water slides. There are numerous restaurants, shopping places within 1 mile and a huge grocery store too. The property is also close to many attractions (see our yelp reviews for details). This review would definitely be higher if the rooms were not dated and in need of refreshing. We would all come back again. read more

A week resort. Just checked in for a week and disappoited with their studio bathroom. Narrow short tub, short stool and week water pressure. No cooking surface in room at all. A plus is covered car ports. Not golffers so no thought their. King studio is just average. Would not stay here again read more

This resort is ok, it was a last minute trip so took what we could get. The room was stinky, but location on property was great. Property location was not convenient for us, it was farther from Scottsdale where we were 90% of our time. The room was outdated, I'm not sure I would go back read more

We booked this location as it showed access to JW Marriott. It advertised full access. We arrive and see that access isn't available on holidays. I called both JW and Vacation club. They would do nothing, which is disappointing but understood. I asked both places if we could get a free day pass at a later date that wasn't busy and both said no. This pool is nothing special. The report is ehh. It's a small pool and we could only get two chairs. Ugh. We would never have booked it had we known they weren't allowing access to JW. It's one thing if I was not a loyal customer. But I have almost 1,600 nights and have lifetime titanium status. I think 8 years ambassador. read more

Great family experience, spent the week here in August and it was perfect. The rooms were clean, AC was always cold, pools were clean and they even had some activities at the pool for the kids and even the adults. You have two pools to choose from, just make sure you have your room key to gain access and grab a towel. Definitely feel safe knowing keys are required. While,your in the pool, take advantage of the pool side grill, it is cashless so bring a card or charge it to the room. I would definitely come back again. read more

Still a great family staycation after all these years. It has been 10 years since I stayed here. Great experience. Minor housekeeping issues that were quickly rectified. Staff were helpful and responsive. Multiple pools and hot tubs. Pool bar and grill. Full schedule of activities and fitness classes. Access and shuttle van to JW Marriott hotel pool during certain times of the year. read more

Very impressed with their rooms. The rooms are very nice and nicely decorated. Our room came with a full size fridge and microwave which is very convenient. Our room had a king bed with a pull out couch. I was very surprised to see how nice the pull out couch was as well. We will definitely stay here again. My son loved their kids lizard pool and we also enjoyed the main pool. read more

I am more partial to the other place we have stayed at in Phoenix, but I can't complain too much. Mostly because I wasn't the one footing the bill. The pros: - pretty quiet rooms...from both the sides and from above (we stayed on the ground floor). - well-kept grounds - well-stocked and supplied kitchens and kitchenettes (we only had to request a dishtowel and oven mitt, which were quickly delivered to our door) - friendly staff - location near the Desert Ridge mall area, convenient to the highway and the MIM - comfortable beds and pillows - a separate spa/hot tub specific area...a giant hot tub with several arms/petals and only the hot tub in one courtyard away from the pool and the kids areas - different activity areas in the courtyards between the buildings - a free shuttle to the Marriott Resort, Albertsons, and Desert Ridge mall The cons: - the glass block/frosted glass next to the entry door of every room. This is fine IF you are in the larger two rooms and the bedrooms are in a separate room with a door to close you off from the living and kitchen area. But if you are in the smaller room, that is like a traditional hotel room set up...this "feature" is actually a bug, for anyone who prefers a dark room to sleep in. It lets in so much natural sunlight in the morning, but you also don't get a break from the light streaming in at night thanks to the always-on hallway/outdoor lights. There is not a shade or a way to cover or block this bright, unending light. It made sleeping and getting the rest I was hoping for...not easy. I hated this feature SO MUCH, it made me lower my rating. This was a nightly (and during nap attempts) frustration/annoyance. - the onsite grill and bar closes at 6pm. THAT IS SO EARLY. I would have liked to gotten a cocktail or some snacks and sat out by the pool or by a fire pit around sunset and a little after. - the separate spa/hot tub courtyard was waaaaaay on the one far side of the villas. It was really chilly when we were there and I could not imagine walking all the way back to our room on the far other side of the grounds, wet and dripping, after having gotten all nice and warm and relaxed. - the courtyard right outside our room featured basketball and pickleball courts. So much constant ball bouncing noises...so much. - most of the fire pits we tried to turn on weren't functioning. Disappointing. - the free shuttle also ends shockingly early. So if you have dinner reservations at a restaurant at the resort at 7, the shuttle can get you there but won't be able to bring you back. It isn't super far, but it isn't super close...especially if you want to dress up for the meal. - they were a bit stingy on the provided bathtime toiletries. At these timeshare/longer stay places, they usually have bigger bottles of these things, or more recently I have seen permanently installed refillable wall dispensers. We got more from the front desk, but I was surprised that we needed to even go ask for it - living room furniture in the rooms were very firm/uncomfortable. But that might be my/our preference. I would stay here again with little push back. My parents are the ones who own the timeshare, and as the bill payers they get to choose which locations we all stay at. My freeloading behind just shows up and has opinions. But I will say, I prefer the other property we have experience with more. read more

My sister recently used my points to stay at The Canyon Villas in Scottsdale for 4 nights. They notice a bunch of cockroaches so her and her husband went to complain to the manager.

We normally stay at the JW Palm Desert for the past 5 years but we switched it up this year. Our stay was disappointing. We were told the shuttle didn't take you to the JW hotel and you would have to pay for parking when you do go. You would think since it's the same company they would want guest to spend money on their restaurants but I guess they didn't want that. Upon check in, our bathroom and bath tubs were dirty, the dish washer didn't work as it should, and the carpet was partially wet. Pool was only open until 8pm which didn't make sense since it's still 90 degrees that time. No Pool server to bring you food or drinks. This is what the kids look forward to. Staff had no customer service skills, they seemed moody and didn't want to be there. Probably the last time we stay here, very disappointing. read more

We stayed for 7 nights for our first time. We are Chairman Club level and we never received a call or email before about room location, so we called them and asked for a golf course view. We had a reservation for 9 days, but they could not give us a golf course view for 9, so we shortened it for 7 days and got a golf course view - so glad we did! We spend a lot of time in the room so it was worth it. We were in the 2700 building, middle floor. I would highly recommend the second floor rooms since the patios have a roof. Some of the 3rd floor patios do not have roofs BTW. The patio gets morning sun and the sunrises were great! And then shade all afternoon. The 2600 or 2700 building with a courtyard view would be a good second best (that courtyard is great!). Pools - dock one star because the main pool's heater was "broke" the entire time, and it was freezing. A few people were in the water, but they shivered the whole time. And the small heated pool was packed with kids all day. The jacuzzi pool was the perfect social distancing pool and was heated but not hot like a jacuzzi - perfect! Plus the chairs had cushions - a big plus because the main pool chairs are so incredibly uncomfortable. There is a kiddie pool/water park near the 3000 buildings which would be great if you brought kids or grandkids. We would love to come back in April and bring our grandkids! The villas a good, normal Marriott quality. Every time we called for something for the room though, they always delivered it next door since their caller ID wasn't working. There didn't seem to be a desire to fix it, but luckily we remembered after the first two times to tell them the correct room. The golf course doesn't start until around 8:30 so we could walk the golf course every morning. It was really nice and peaceful. The grounds need a little more work, but that is understandable in these Covid times. For the most part it very well kept if you didn't look too close. Things like that don't bother me, but it bothered a couple I met who frequents this location quite a bit. This location is a home run, near High Street and Desert Ridge Marketplace - both are great for shopping, food, and restaurants of all kinds. I am giving this a 4 star review simply because of the pool, and the fact that being in the Chairman Club doesn't seem to be considered for room location at least at first. But still, a great resort - We will definitely be back! Very relaxing place to chill =) read more

Located in Phoenix about 15 minutes north of Scottsdale. We stayed here on a timeshare exchange through Interval International, but we are Marriott timeshare owners. Like most Marriott properties, the Marriott's Canyon Villas are well cared for and have lots of friendly and helpful staff. This is one of the smaller properties, but they have plenty of activities on site (shuffleboard, foosball, pool, basketball, beach volleyball, pickleball, multiple swimming pools, fitness center and much more). They have daily activities for all ages that you can participate in (some free, some for a small fee). They also had special mornings for guest when they offered free coffee, doughnuts, etc. Guests here also get to use the pool facilities at the JW Marriott Hotel (15 minute walk or can take the free shuttle that is offered at the resort) which included a lazy river and water slides. Right across the street is the Desert Ridge Shopping Center where you can shop and find lots of great restaurants to eat at. There are lots to do within a 30 minute drive. Sedona is less than 2 hours away and the Grand Canyon is about 3 1/2 hours away. Summers here can be quite hot and you will experience the monsoon rain/thunderstorms in the evenings. We were there in mid-July so it we got to experience both the heat and the evening rain/thunder/lightning storms (very beautiful lightning shows). I would definitely recommend coming here for a nice getaway vacation and to experience the desert. read more

The new water park is amazing at the hotel. The people here are very helpful even though they don't offer House Cleaning unless you stay 10 days that was a disappointment but they do bring your towels and other things as needed without cost. I really was appreciative of them, putting me together with my friends and family on the same floor as requested. read more

What a lovely vacation spot! We went there for a few days to celebrate my granddaughters 8 birthday. There are so many lawn games to play! And a shuttle to take you over to the lazy River. The two bedroom suites were spacious and extremely clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking and eating supplies one would need. A very relaxing and fun place to stay at. read more

We were invited to stay at the Marriott villas in Scottsdale to potential buy a time share. We have twin 5 year olds. We found a cockroach in the bathroom ceiling. We contacted the front desk at 6:30. No one came to remove the roach. At 7:30 we went to the front desk and ask to have it removed. They said someone was there but could not get jn- Interesting.. as we just left the room, and that they all have a key to get into any room. We told them we were headed to dinner and please remove the hazard and health concern. When we retuned 2 hours later the kids noticed the roach was still there. Marriott showed no concern for the hazard and health concern. Our children refused to stay in the room and began to cry. I went to the front desk again - they said someone was in the room but could not find it- the roach was 2inches long and very noticeable- They finally came in the sprayed the entire bathroom with Raid. Again we have two 5 year olds and they shared no concern for a health hazard of the spray. Buyer beware ..this is not an experience that will lead us to purchase anything from the company! read more

I was in town for a trip to Mayo. Normally I stay at the Residence Inn near the hospital but thought I mix it up. Good decision. The location of Canyon Villas is ideal. Very close to all you would need, grocery stores, many restaurants, shopping, etc. The room was very comfortable with couch, small dining table, kitchenette with fridge and microwave. The pools are saltwater and clean. You can also use the lazy river at The JW down the street. Parking is free and covered. The grounds are well maintained and everyone was friendly. Although it is overall a pleasant stay, there are a few challenges at this property. Check-in was a cluster. My room wasn't ready initially, but I did quickly get a text saying it was. The duvet had a number of holes and looked shabby. The AC is AWFUL. When it kicks on it sounds like a game show buzzer and will make you sit straight up in bed. The trick is to cool your room while you're awake and then adjust it so it won't come on at night unless it's scorching. All in all, the good outweighs the bad and I'd stay again. read more

Can I possibly give this hotel a worse rating? I travel WEELLY a minimum of 3 nights a week and never have I wrote a review neither good nor bad.. however, for the sake of others I decided to take the time to review. I am checking out today of what has been one of the worst stays in a hotel since likely when I was a poor broke college student 30 years ago.. between the poor quality of the hotel balanced with the $300 a night charge for it... I could not help to review! 1- Beds- the bed was the MOST uncomfortable bed I've stayed in. My mattress literally slanted toward the wall putting all of the pressure on my lower back. This is NOT the typical Marriott beds I usually sleep in and was more like a " motel" bed or some low budget place that never updates their mattress. I asked it be changed or to change rooms to which the front desk staff said would happen- but never did. 2- bugs bugs bugs.. the property is a lot older and not well maintained... and to a degree I can accept that. But why don't you fumigate - bugs crawling out of my bathtub, who knows what kind of bug was walking across my floor (see picture) and what kind of bug I slapped onto my neck while asleep. I've never seen a big at a Marriott property in my room- ever! 3- Maintanece... although the housekeepers were kind they lacked all the detail you'd expect from a Marriott- no coffee left (had to call), no condiments (had to call) and when condiments left they were expired (see pic). One day when I asked the housekeeper to change the sheets and she said " Did you call front desk- you need to call front desk". She didnt want to change my sheets because I was her last room. Lol 4- property, pool, and guests. Wow, at 300\night how did the motel6 crowd come take over the pool, drink bud lights all day, and bring all their kids and neighbors kids. The pool was super old, unkept, dated, and felt just like a motel 6 (if they had pools). Lastly, um I'm not complaining because I paid the money (my company paid it not me).. but I can't imagine how mad I'd be if I came here on vacation with my fam and this is what I got. So - don't do it, save yourself the money, and stay at a motel for the same experience! read more

The rooms are large and the staff are very friendly, however, your quality of stay will very much depend on where your unit is located and the people staying around you. The rooms are also very dated and worn. We had requested a top floor unit and were refused this upon arrival. We ended up with a unit on the second floor, and every morning, without fail, we were awoken between 5:30 and 6am to the sound of stomping and kids running around above us. This would go on for hours, so there was no hope of falling back asleep. This property is far from most activities to do in Phoenix, so it definitely requires a car and there is very little to do on site or in the surrounding areas. The pool bar is very subpar and over priced, so plan to either eat off site or get groceries. read more
