A: This hotel was amongst the worst I've stayed in. We had a "hospital" rate, as my wife was having surgery. When we checked in, the hotel seemed ok for $80/night. The toilet seat was loose, and the tap water temperature did not seem to be connected to the handle orientation, but whatever. The first night, I realized that the thermostat was purely decorative. It was 80 degrees in the room, and setting the temp for 60 did nothing. I chalked it up as a bad night and planned to deal with it in the morning, after I got my wife checked into the hospital. The next day I complained about the temp and was informed that the AC was broken. They assured me it would be fixed by the afternoon. After surgery, I went back to the hotel and found that the room was still sweltering. The desk clerk said it was because I had not set the thermostat correctly. Apparently setting an 80 degree room to 60 was too much to hope for, so I needed to set it to 76 or so. I went up to my room to adjust the thermostat to find that my door was not locked, and that the locking mechanism was broken. I went back downstairs and complained. They "upgraded" me to a suite. The new room also did not have AC (in Phoenix? who could imagine such a thing would be needed?). The tub leaked. I've stayed in highway-side motels which had better amenities.

A: So soft!! I put them in the car for awhile... It's still super tasty! The glaze is not overly sweet just perfect. I especially love their prices!!

Q: positive

A: Been here twice, the last time was in Jan 2011. The restaurant itself is beautiful in it's decor and the Picasso paintings are breathtaking and beautiful. It IS business casual dress & the service is very very good. The Sommelier here really knows his wines and was not only helpful but enlightened us about some wine regions. We ordered the tasting menu & allow me to say that the Lobster Salad was outstanding. Perfect in every way. Of course I am a big fan of Julian Serrano & love his food. I first had his cuisine at Masa;'s in San Francisco and I was hooked instantly! The menu here at Picasso offers fish as well as Steak, Lamb etc....The Halibut with Asparagas was outstanding and the Hollandaise sauce was the best I have ever tasted & perfectly balanced. The halibut was cooked perfectly and the portion was the right size. My husband had the "A" Steak and he said it was outstanding. This experience lasted well over 2 hours and it was totally enjoyable. Prices are high but in Vegas it is what you expect to pay at a restaurant of this caliber, meaning a Michelin Star restaurant. The service is good and the food is beautiful to look at. After all you begin to eat with your eyes !!

A:
On 4/29/14 in the late evening, I was dismayed to discover a scorpion on the back deck of the house we had just moved into days before. I have a young daughter and a small dog and scorpions greatly concern me. We had asked the landlord about scorpions prior to signing anything and it was claimed that there were no scorpions. Of course, we live in the desert so I took this claim with a grain of salt. On the morning of 4/30/14, I began my search for a reputable pest company that could help me with my problem. I called a couple of places (surprisingly to me all went to voice-mails) and left messages for a few. David with Arizona Pest Squad called me back relatively shortly after I left my message and we had a good conversation about my problem. David was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and thoroughly explained things to me as far as the products they use and what is recommended for treatment of my scorpion problem. I asked him about the cost and was pleased to discover that I was eligible for a discount due to finding them on Yelp. David let me know that he would get with a technician and they would let me know when they could make it out. A few hours later, I received a call from Rex stating that he was finishing up a job not too far away and that he could be at my house in 45 minutes if that was okay with me. I knew that I would be home so agreed to the appointment. Rex showed up on time and was extremely friendly. He thoroughly explained what he was going to do, answered all of my questions, and was very friendly and professional during the whole visit. In my opinion Rex is a true professional and reflects well on the company he is representing. It was towards evening when all of the spraying went on so I do not have much of an opinion just yet on the effectiveness of the treatment, but I felt that this company earned a good review on Yelp for their professional courtesy, friendly attitudes, and timely response. Based on everything I have experienced so far, I am positive that I will be pleased with the results as well. Thank you Arizona Pest Squad!
