I Loved this place! They were right off the freeway, and if you didnt know that you couldnt tell. The hotel its self was VERY clean and nice and the staff was VERY helpful when he had to bring our dog! The breakfast was also yummy! Totally would stay here again if I needed to :)

TAKE MY ADVICE NEVER EVER STAY HERE! THE PROPERTY AND ROOMS WERE DIRTY AND SMELLED HORRIBLE!!! THE STAFF WERE ALL VERY RUDE. WE WALKED IN OUR ROOM AND TURNED RIGHT AROUND AND LEFT.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Eh. The old carpet and moldy bathroom ceiling detracted from my stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great check in! Was fast friendly. The room was more than expected for the rate of that night. Everything was spotless and very nice and cozy. Would stay here again anytime!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room and breakfast and staff were great, but do not count on using any internet services, if you do gain access to the internet it is extremely slow and you will eventually be bumped off. Also, do not ask to have a late check out because they will charge you extra for every hour you stay late.

Great place to stay. Would definitely stay here again. Clean, quiet, and comfortable. Easy check in with friendly staff.

Hotel very outdated and in need of major renovation. Staff was rude, unaccommodating, and just not pleasant to be around. Took family to spring training, tried to check in at 6:30 pm and were told that no rooms were available yet. Come to find out, their housekeeping staff consisted of 4 people, who were unable to keep up. Finally got a room about 7:30, […] no apologies, rather more of the same "take or leave it" attitude. Bed were terrible, everyone woke up sore and tired, 2 towels for 4 people-request for more was never answered. We forfeited the next paid night just to get out of there. Most guests had similar complaints. I read same positive reviews that you are seeing, cannot imagine who wrote these. We will not be returning to this one. Read more

While we have stayed at the Dobson Ranch Inn numerous times over the last several years when it was run by Best Western, our most recent visit was quite disappointing. We felt that since it was no longer operated by Best Western that the facilities had gone down hill in the last two years. We had multiple issues with our room (light ballast over the […] sink, drain in the sink, water temperature in the shower, and AC not working). The most irritating issue was our card keys not working properly. We had to have new keys cut twice. The breakfast selection was not varied. They had the same items every day. There was no choice of breakfast meat. It would have been nice to have yogurt and a selection of fruit for the health conscious guests. While the issues with our room were fixed, we just felt the service inadequate. We do not plan to stay here again on our next visit. I would not recommend Dobson Ranch Inn to anyone as a choice of accommodations. Read more

The walls are paper thin. If it was not spring breakers reveling into the night, it was the occupants of the room next door playing a board game until midnight or a small dog barking all night long. This is not worth the money - it is not a resort - and it is no more than a redecorated holiday inn from the seventies. Second floor walk up room with no […] views for an inflated price. would not recommend. Read more

The write up on Dobson's Ranch Inn and Resorts was missleading to say the least. It is a Motel and not a Hotel. All the signage and liturature referr to it as a resort. It is most definitely not a 'resort' unless having a pool and a continental breakfast is the qualification for 'resort'. The scariest thing was at check in when they not only wanted […] a credit card but went in the back room to make a copy of my drivers license. Now they have enough information to do what ever they want!! If it hadn't been prepaid we would not have stayed. Read more

Good location, easy access to Tempe nightlife /ASU. Hotel is an older facility, but has been updated. Rooms need more comfortable lounge chair or couch, furnishings are sparse but adequate. Hotel is apread out, and thus, needs more luggage carts in each wing instead of just at the lobby area. Overall, a good place to stay.

I recently stayed here with my two year old daughter and was pleasantly surprised with the hotel. Breakfast was served every morning and decent fare and it also being free made it worth it. Location was incredible right off the highway. My daughter got sick one of the nights and made a mess all over the bed. The housekeeping staff was very understanding […] and friendly and brought all new clean bedding, all this around midnight. Read more

The pool is nice, the grounds and sitting areas are also nice. The place has potential for a new buyer to fix up-it is in dire need of an update. Our stay was fine, but the place is not worth the amount they charge-this is a lower rate/night max type of place. They need to improve breakfast-fruit and real eggs not powdered.

Old hotel that needs some renovation work but is still clean. Great value if you don't luxury.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was large and clean and the bed comfortable, but overall not a great value. The carpet had a huge "bubble" in the middle of the walking area, the bathroom was tiny and the water temp in the shower difficult to control (my wife told me she had scalded herself before finally rinsing off with cold water). the "high speed" internet, while consistent, […] was very slow. The people in the room next door were not unduly noisy, but every sound traveled clearly as they spoke and watched tv, so we did not get a good night's rest. All upper rooms are reached by a narrow concrete walkway that passes in front of each room, and the sounds made by every person travelling on that walkway are clearly audible in the room, as are any sounds from the pool. For over $100 per night there are many better choices. Read more

Room was not ready at checkin time. We had to wait 45 minutes in lobby with 2 kids under 4. Not very friendly and when we were given our room key we went to the room and they were still cleaning it and it was past the 4pm checkin. Pets are not allowed and we had a very loud barking dog in the room next to our room and kept us up all night. Front desk […] said there was nothing they could do to help. Read more

The hotels looks much nicer in the picture than what it actually is. Customer service was terrible. The receptionist had over 3 separate guests complaining over keys not working and other issues. After check in, surprisingly, my key didn't work so I had to go back to get it reloaded and more guests were lining up for complaints. The hotel just didn't […] meet my expectations, for the price, there are better hotels to choose from. Read more

Thought it was ok..half of the lamp switches didn't work.thought front desk could have been friendlier. We arrived late from grand canyon and it was convenient and good pricing. Not sure if we would stay there again.

we were running a few moments late because the baby was hungry and needed to feed him, the owner came by at 11:10 and said check out was at 11:00 and he would be charging me for another night...I haven't seen the bill yet. He was rude as well as the front desk, maintenance were nice, the breakfast was not good, nothing was outstanding, was not a pretty […] location at all, amenities not good. Not a place for families...or fun...we stay in a lot of hotels and I would never stay here again Read more

The front desk staff was horrible! When I called the day before check in to ask a question the phone rang at least 20 times before someone answered it and then hung up so I had to call again and the phone rang for a long time again. At check in the front desk person was telling me how awful the wedding party also staying there was. Our room wasn't ready […] yet so we went to the pool where there were no towels and when I inquired at the front desk I was told they are all dirty and so we waited an hour for them. Finally our room was ready and we had to walk by bags and bags of trash in the walkways. We got to our room and of course the key didn't work. A nice housekeeper let us in and when I called the front desk to get a new one, I was rudely told that I would have to come get it myself. I asked to speak to the manager and the rude person I was talking to said she was the manager! When I went to the front desk to get a new key I complained about the rudeness only to be completely ignored. I would never recommend this hotel to any one. Read more

poor service, long lines, unhappy employees, thrift store furniture. pool was nice

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The accommodations were adequate in almost every respect. This property has the potential to be outstanding -- great spa and pool. It was clean, although a bit dated dark wood decor. The staff was helpful and polite. Breakfast is a very tired hot menu of fried potatoes, ham, sausage, scrambled eggs. Fruit is only apples and oranges, juices and coffee. […] There is inadequate staff to keep the tables and food service clean and tidy, which really detracts. If I had a $1M I would buy the place, lease out the restaurant and bar and shine it up. A jewel in the rough. Read more

NIce place to stay for one or 2 nights. The rate was just what we were looking for and you get what you pay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Beds are comfy, the rooms are a little dark and the property was a bit dirty. The pool area was in need of a good cleaning. The staff was very nice and helpful. I would give it an average rating. No major problems, I would stay there again

Good value for the money. Enjoyed the hot tub

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Stayed 2 nights over Spring Break '13. The room was very large and fit the 2 QBs plus a table w/2 chairs. The room also contained: a dresser, a flat screen/TV, and night stand. The carpet - worn and was pulling away from the wall in places. The sheets - rough and mildly uncomfortable. The pillows were flat. The beds seemed fine. The bathroom was broken […] into 2 parts. The inner bathroom had a door and contained the toilet and a bathtub/shower combo. The outer bathroom - no door. It contained one counter top, one sink, one dorm-style fridge. The shelving and rods for the closet were in the outer bathroom, not enclosed in a closet. The iron and ironing board were also in this pseudo-closet area. The room did not contain a microwave. The only microwave was located in the hotel lobby. The free breakfast contained eggs, meat, various cereals, milk and juice dispensers, bagels, and a waffle making station. No yogurt/fresh fruit. Overall the eggs were bland and everything else was fine. The waffles were good. There was an outdoor swimming pool in the center of the complex. The central courtyards were very nice- several fountains, lots of palms and other nice vegetation, and lots of well kept lawns. Many guests dragged chairs from their rooms and congregated outside - smoking, drinking, socializing, and not always completely dressed. It gave the place a trailer park feel. Yes I would recommend the hotel but I feel its prime is in the past. Read more

Overall, the stay was fine. I experienced some troubles with access to my room which led to several trips to the lobby which would have been fine except my room was a bit of a walk from the lobby. There isn't much surrounding the hotel as far as restaurants, etc. I dined at the hotel bar and the food was mediocre and the bartender, while sweet and good […] intentioned, managed to mess up both my drink order and food order. Otherwise, the time I spent at the pool was enjoyable and the room was comfortable. Read more

I booked rooms for my daughter and her husband, for my Mother and for my husband and myself as we were there for my son's wedding. The place is nicely situated and the gardens are lovely. The rooms would have been perfect if they had been a lot cleaner. Our bathtub had soap scum and the floor in there was slightly dirty. Someone should tell hotels that […] spraying a ton of air freshener before allowing you to use a room does not make up for a lack of cleaning. Overall the place looked and felt a bit shabby and I won't be staying there again. Read more

The surrounding area was very nice and upscale. pool area very clean, the hot tub was heated to 104 degrees and felt great. would definitely recommend :-).

The breakfasts provided hot and cold options. There was always scrambled eggs and hash browns with ham and sausage the alternating meats. Dobson Ranch is in a great neighborhood. We walked to a great Mexican Restaurant, to Albertsons Grocery Store and Starbucks was right across the street. Wifi was fine for e-mail etc, but too slow for our high school […] live stream basketball game. Salt River Talk Sticks Baseball Park and Hohokam were about 15 minutes away. I would highly recommend Dobson Ranch as it is in a great neighborhood, close to spring training camps, and very comfortable rooms. Read more

Hotel looks much better in its web pictures than it does in person.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We chose the Dobson because it's near the Cubs' Spring Training facility (which it is) and it accommodates pets (which it does.) Despite those positives, the negatives made this hotel a disappointment. The facility is weary and worn down. The staff lacks enthusiasm and the location, while easy to find, is uninspiring. (Kind of like the Cubbies.)
