First, I want to commend staff, they were outstanding throughout our visit. The front desk team was warm, professional, and even upgraded our room, which we greatly appreciated. It’s clear that service is a priority at the property.
Unfortunately, the condition of our room fell far short of what we expect from a W property and from any hotel of this caliber. See photos from our room below.
Despite the generous upgrade, the room had several significant issues that made our stay far less comfortable than anticipated:
- There was visible mold along the shower caulking, which was off-putting and concerning from a health standpoint.
- The bathroom vent was caked with dust, indicating it hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time.
- The AC unit was ineffective, it struggled to cool the room even at the lowest settings, which made the Arizona heat particularly difficult to escape.
- More broadly, the room showed clear signs of wear and lack of maintenance, which was disappointing given the premium positioning of the W brand.
These issues disrupted what should have been a relaxing, high-end hotel experience. Given the W’s reputation for quality, attention to detail, and modern luxury, the contrast between expectation and reality was stark.
