A: Good food, service ok. Thought $1.95 extra for a tablespoon of guacamole was a little pricey!

A: Out of all the places in the Phoenix area who offer Barre classes, this particular Pure Barre location has to be the worst. They have just ONE routine and it never varies. They never ask at the beginning of the class if anyone is new or if anyone has any injuries they need to be aware of. The cutesy 20-somethings who teach these classes make NO adjustments for their older clientele. They expect a 63 year old to be able to do the exact same things that a 23 year old can do. No one ever asked permission to touch me when making a correction either. This is not cool at all. I don't need some snippy instructor touching my pelvis or butt without asking permission first. I would not go back after going 7 times and I would not recommend it to anyone I care about either.

Q: negative

A: Wolfgang Pucks is one of my favorite chain restaurant so I came here with expectations that this would meet their standards. Was here on a Weekday lunch. Service was decent in effort, but I could tell that most were light on experience. Maybe the rookie staff gets weekday lunches. Busboy, please don't ask me every 5 minutes if I'm done with my meal while reaching for my plate; the fact that I'm still eating is a cue that I'm not. The restaurant is clean and has nice decor. We ordered the "Tempura Battered Fish". It was not tempura battered, definitely beer battered. Also, the fish was so small and the batter so much that I felt like I was eating batter only plus it was greasy. The ice tea was good though and the appetizer that I got which was the Tartare was okay. Plenty of good places in Vegas. Won't be coming back here.

Q: positive

A:
Stayed here for a 3 day conference last weekend. Shuttle service to and from the airport runs every half hour and is free. There doesn't seem to be anything exciting around this general area so I was stuck here for 3 days. Overall, the hotel is fine but a bit dated. Generally quiet, but when people go in and out of their rooms the doors slam and make quite a noise. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Pool is nice, but was a bit too cold to take advantage of. Major bummer is that there is no Internet service in the rooms unless you fork out $10/day for an Internet key. You can use their computers in the lobby for free or hook up your own laptop wireless in the lobby for free. I had a room caddy corner away from the restaurant and I was still able to access the Internet to check e mail and perform simple tasks for free. Any major computer use such as video downloads, etc. were essentially useless. I saved the $10/ night and just dealt with slow Internet. Rooms are a bit old and could use some updating, but overall OK. Would stay here again if in the area unless I found something for a lot less than $100/ night which is what paid plus all the extra expenses for tax, etc. Food in the restaurant was pretty good. Restaurant reviewed separately from hotel.
