Then, he rudely suggested that we might like it better at the Hampton Inn down the street. When we finally found the elevators we asked an employee if there was a faster way to our room to which he replied: NO. Even if you choose to valet park it's a very long walk through the casino to the rooms in the hotel.

The walk from our car in the parking lot to our room was the longest we've ever experienced, about 1,200 feet and through the casino, yes, THROUGH THE CASINO ! We actually had to carry our bags between rows of slot machines to get to our room. At one point she actually had to go look at Blue Prints of the property printed on huge sheets just to figure out how to explain the way to our room. The women who checked us in was so confused about how to get to our room that it took her about 5 minutes to figure out where our room was located.

What a lousy design ! But even worse was the behavior of the employees and the card dealers. Our neighbors were constantly out on their balcony and so we could not even enjoy a little private time out on our balcony. Dust and dirt accumulated along the base boards, carpets soiled and coming apart at the seams, q-tips and filth in the hallways, MOLDY GROUT in the shower, bath fan not working, bath rug worn out, we could not believe what we were seeing ! Our executive “suite” was nothing more than an average size hotel room and we could not even enjoy our balcony because the building is so poorly designed that the balconies have no privacy whatsoever from the balcony of the adjacent room.

I don’t care how “upscale” this place appears in advertisements and on their web site, the entire hotel, including our room, was filthy. This was by far our worst casino hotel experience ever. We always try to stay at the nicest casino hotels when we travel and we always stay in a suite. My review of Talking Stick Resort casino & hotel comes with a lot of credibility because you can see that I have reviewed many other casino hotels on TA.
