Desert Diamond Hospitality? More Like Hostility.

Stayed here over a week for business, spent thousands, and thousands of dollars here. I have stayed 100+ nights over the years—but after this visit, I won’t be back. The job ran long, so I had to extend a few times. On my last day, I called at 11:45 AM asking for a late checkout—was told “no worries,” they had my card and I was good for it. At 1 PM, I called again from the bank to say I was 25 minutes out and planned to extend—again, “no problem.” I arrive to find one of my employees downstairs, visibly shaken. Staff had banged on the door and threatened to call the police unless he left in 15 minutes. I walk in apologizing, thinking it’s just a misunderstanding—only to be met with more cold indifference. Then the kicker: the next morning, after working in the sun since 5 AM and needing to drive to Phoenix for an 8-hour flight, I politely ask for a late checkout—and they flatly say no. On a Thursday. With an empty parking lot. You’d think loyalty, money spent, and basic human decency would count for something. Apparently not at Desert Diamond.

Cynthia at the front desk was phenomenal; she was professional, efficient, and kind. We liked: meal prices and lots of venues, large room accommodations, SmartTV, hotel was separate from casino (no noise), friendly and helpful staff. Liked not-so-much: spotty internet, long walk from reservations desk to casino/food options, and long walk from parking area to front desk.

The pool was absolutely ridiculous. There were people literally having a party taking up the whole pool area. There were coolers full of booze and plenty of glass. And half of the people there were not even registered guests, I know this because I overheard them talking. The staff needs to check in and monitor the pool area better. My kids couldn't even swim because there were unmonitored kids diving jumping and being just plain out ridiculous. As far as the room s go everything was nice and clean. The beds were a little hard, but nothing too bad. There was supposed to be a sitting chair and a table in both of my rooms but there wasn't. The staff at check-in was great as well.
