Staff was great, the facility was clean and beautiful. Room was amazing, very comfortable. I didn't like that I booked a room and told after booking that the pool was not working and being fixed. I was looking forward to swimming in this heat. There are no spa packages, tables in the casino are all 15 and up on the weekends. So expensive.

We planned a budget for gambling, as we do that on rare occasions. But neither of us used the whole budget. I noticed the difference in the slots, say from Vegas - the options to possibly win something were rare to nonexistent. We don't expect to come out with big winnings, but when there's five lines across and six options down - it's difficult to win anything back. All they had that I saw, was win across a line - no angled winning or verticle winning. Oh, sorry I did see one (and only one) machine that was the old fashioned type, with three lines across for a win. Anyway we both went through 1/3 of our budget so fast, we just stopped. Wouldn't go there to gamble again. But the hotel itself was pretty good, other than an iffy mattress.

- 2/5
None of the rooms offer a kitchenette. Based on that alone, I won't be back. The food was average at best. I ate hotel dinner twice with a group I was with. That's not a factor in my rating as I prefer to bring my own food, which I did and cooked in my room using my own cooking appliances. Having to use the bathroom sink to wash dishes was not easy. Lack of counter space made it hard to prepare my meals.

The review for the hotel itself is a 5 star!! Rooms are very big and roomy. Hotel staff was amazing. The casino staff (in particular: the staff at the Players Club) were horrible. Customer service there was the worst I have experienced in a very long time. I tried to get my veterans players card and they would not except an old military ID I had (which I get), so when I asked what I can show them (I was visiting from another city 4 hours away) another lady approached me and started the conversation out with “What seems to be your problem?” I proceeded to explain to her that I have been in customer service for over 25 years and that is NOT how you start a conversation with a customer. Anyway, I don’t have enough energy to type the rest. Just be aware of the customer service on the casino side. GREAT HOTEL though.

Our water was very cold! We called the front desk, but they just told us to keep the water running for minutes on end, ensuring us it would heat up by then. Although hesitant to waste water, we did just that, but it still wouldn't get warm!!! In essence, our showers were freezing. The help was nonexistent, and we were dissatisfied with the experience, seeing as to how much we paid. It's certainly something they need to look into in the future.

Supposed to be a non smoking establishment. But, everything smelled like smoke. Made my dog sick. Because I booked through a 3rd party, they couldn't do anything. She said; we'll move you to a different room. HELLO, the whole place smelled like cigarettes. So done

They gave us a room next to the utility workers room. 7am you can hear those doors being slammed. Glass shattering and they seemed to be working on the room next to us. You can hear the walls banging and tools being used. Called the front desk around 10am and the guy didn't seem to really care. Just told us he can give us a late check out. It was just me and my husband celebrating his bday and just bummed about being woken up so early with all the boise from the employees.

If you like a very firm bed then this is the place for you! Most uncomfortable bed! Check in wasn’t as expected because I must of missed reading about the $100 deposit at check in (refundable too apparently according to online on booking) so that put me in a bad mood again after driving a long time to get there, then I asked what that was for, all I was told was “deposit” no detailed explanation.

Check in could have been better. Check in is listed at 3:00 on website. I arrived at 4:15 and room wasn't ready. Waited 30 more minutes for room to be ready. No wall mounted shampoo, conditioner or body wash in shower. I've stayed at cheaper hotels with those. The toilet paper must have been the cheapest anyone can buy, like cardboard.

I really liked the pool area and the coffee shop location everything seemed to be in order First I'm glad you asked this question. I really feel that you should have some type of valet service for the hotel guests. You don't have valet service for the guests or for the handicap drivers your handicap spaces are so far away from the interest of the hotel you have to call for a golf cart escort from the parking lot to the front doors of the hotel

Room service was not available as no one would answer the phone. Just a recording asking guests to call back later. There are no blankets on the bed or stored in the room. If you want a blanket, you have to call the front desk for housekeeping. We stayed 4 nights and housekeeping only came once but did not change the sheets or empty the trash. They just brought fresh towels. There is no complimentary coffee. You have to purchase it from the lobby coffee bar. Since it is across the street from the airport, you can expect the noise from planes, as well as jets from the nearby airbase.

Rooms are only cleaned every other day, but the room is only provided with one day's supplies of toiletries, towels, and coffee. Not knowing this was a big surprise to us when we returned from our day's activities and the bed wasn't made, we were also out of soap, shampoo, coffee, and clean towels The staff was really friendly about providing everthing we needed on request.But for the $173/nt room, daily cleaning should be included. We were also surprised that the coffee shop was closed as well as the 'Hotel' bar. On the upside, the pool, hot tub and fire pits were unVegas-like (which we liked), and the casino was state-of-the-art and absoultely huge. Joining the Diamond Club gets you $20 free slot play and a $10 food voucher, which we used for breakfast in the food court.

Room advertised as deluxe 2 queens. It was far from deluxe, old mr coffee style coffee maker + cheap, poor tasting Farmers brand packets. Flimsy plastic water cups, no bottled water in room.

The location is outside the city and although the hotel is connected to the casino it's quiet. It Is very close to San Xavier Mission which is a must see. I liked the coffee bar just off the lobby offering coffee and pastries. The hotel itself is very clean. Although my room was clean there could be more attention to detail. The hair dryer needed cleaning and the lamp was missing the shade knob. My room was lacking a comfortable chair to sit and read. There wasn't a good place to sit and enjoy cocktails in the hotel, and was limited at the casino. The rooms were a bit pricy for a casino hotel.

Cons: The water pressure wasn't the greatest and there was a bench over half the tub. The bed only had a thin sheet like bedspread, so if you get cold, probably need to request a blanket. You will be charged a $100 deposit at check-in to ensure you don't smoke in the room, or otherwise damage it. The room door had a 1" gap between the door and sill, which allowed hall noise to enter the room. I put a towel there to help block out noise/light.

We have stayed at this hotel 3 or 4 times and always enjoy our stay. The king size bed is comfortable, the shower is hot and the room is immaculate! I do wish there was a microwave in the room. The restaurant portions are large and we almost always have leftovers.

Staff was very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were not spotless, Shower door strip on wall was loose and water kept running onto floor outside shower. Walls and doors need to be wiped more often they were sticky looked as if something was spilled . Toilets need attention dirty and sticky door and floor. Hope rooms don't start looking rundown

Everything was wonderful here! The room was huge, quiet, comfy bed/pillows, and clean. The staff at the registration desk, the casino club desk and the diamond grill were top notch. The food and craft cocktails were so good! The casino wasn’t smoky and they had tvs everywhere to watch the football game. The grounds were beautiful. Didn’t use the outdoor pool/hottub but they looked inviting. Would definitely stay here again without a doubt!!

We haven’t stayed at this particular overnight since the other casino came to town and I guess now I remember why. When we checked in while it was bright by the front entrance light was lacking around the vicinity of the hotel itself ( parking lot was adequately lit) and staff themselves seem not to happy to be there. ( just my personal observation). While my husband is a gambler I am not and I wanted to sleep and get ready for the next day. The bed was hard and the bathroom smelled like sewer with the shower having some weird pressure issue making those weird groaning noises like it was haunted.. so off to bed… when my husband finally rolled in around 5 am to sleep we get a loud a@@ COP KNOCK at our door around 6:25 demanding my husband give them $100 they overpaid him earlier. Which to me is VERY unprofessional and could be done without a 300 lb “bodyguard “ in the background for effect ? Anywho..lesson learned as I feel we got robbed and the overall atmosphere was not good. Would definitely not recommend and will DEFINITELY never stay here again. Will continue to frequent the other place as they have more to offer and THEIR customer service is beyond reproach

We were exhausted and hungry, so we decided to go to the only food place open in the property- it was worse than food court. Pizza was not even reheated, we couldn’t finish even a half slice. The driver of airport shuttle was very nice. I had to go to concierge to set up for the shuttle after checkout but I was the only one in the shuttle. They quickly arranged the ride only fir me, that was very helpful!

Apparently house keeping did not check the previous tenant's alarm set up on the house alarm clock. So I was awakened before 6AM! Also, when I checked out at the front desk with an agent, no mention of "how was your stay with us" or "come stay again soon"; or anything along the likes of that. So first impressions and more importantly LAST impressions of any business should be priority over anythiing. Apparently, at this native american owned and run hotel, it isn't.

I have stayed here before and really enjoyed my visit, so I was looking forward to returning again. Unfortunately, the room I was given on this visit had issues with the television and mini fridge. The mini fridge was very loud all night, and I did not get any sleep. The television and remote were not working correctly. I let the hotel receptionist know, but she did not seem interested or take my complaint seriously. I'm disappointed, I expected a different reaction to the issues I experienced during my stay.

Stayed at a competing hotel-casino in the area a week before (will remain unnamed) and made an honest mistake when booking. Instead of working with me, they charged me full price for a night I didn't even stay. Decided to book the Estrella for my next business trip and I'm glad I did. Staff was attentive to my needs, rooms were clean and spacious and the casino had great food options. Found my new hotel for future business trips to the area!

Being attached to a casino in an suspect part of town, didn’t feel safe to leave my vehicle in the parking lot due to unsavory characters roaming the parking lot at night checking out cars, asking for money. Entire property smelled like smoke. After my business dealings in Tucson I felt unsafe leaving my vehicle so made the 5 hour drive home instead of staying. Not good.
- 5/5
We enjoyed our stay with easy access to the airport the following day. Ease of check in and check out early in the morning. The room location was quiet and was a short walk to the attached casino. Plenty of parking .

No microwave unable to reheat any leftovers so had to leave food. We had children and it was such a waste to not be able to reheat their food or snack. No selection close by for food. The food at the casino was not good as well.

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.

Upon checkin you r required to pay additional $100 that will be refunded 7-14 days..absolutely absurd..i would have turned around and departed but i booked on line to get a better rate that was nonrefundable. Security r untrained indivduals..i observed several security hassle individuals..breakfast was terrible..how hard is it to make 2 eggs overeasy?..put bread on plate not toast..hasbrowns burnt..i ordered 2 breakfast and both were the worst..

Pool area was nice but often overrun by kids. Whatever they use to wash the towels did not sit well with my sense of smell and the whole room smelled like it. Other than the pool, there wasn't much in the way of amenities (i.e. don't call it a "Coffee Bar" if you don't really serve coffee, it was a glorified/staffed vending machine). Casino was OK. Overall, not the worst, not the best, probably won't stay again
