Review of Sheraton, San Macros Golf Reso...

My wife and I had a conference in Gilbert and stayed here for a romantic getaway. Let me start with the cons:

At check in we were directed the LONG way to our room, with all of our luggage with us to lug along. No recognition for being a Priority Club Member. TV is Analog, horrible channels. The sheets weren't put all the way down, so we had to remake the bed. Closet door was broken & completely off the tracks. We had to wedge it into the tracks so it wouldn't fall on us. Water was forgotten one day. Ice bucket plastic sleeve was forgotten another day. Our shower curtain hooks were never closed for our 4 day stay.

And the pros:
The hotel was gorgeous. There are tall palm trees in the courtyards, balcony access to all rooms and the grounds were well kept. You can walk to and around downtown Chandler (several restaurants, shoe stores and specialty shops) from the hotel. The room decor reminded me of a 60's luxury hotel (not that I'm from the 60's but I watch movies). I would say I felt like Cary Grant about 40% of the time. Parking was good and we never had trouble finding a spot near the elevator by our room.

And the neutrals:
Breakfast was good but it reminded me of a quiet Shoney's (remember that place?).

Overall, our visit was really good. One star off for some of the quirky cons above. We will, however, stay here again if we are in the area. By the way, the shoe store in the downtown shopping area is fantastic.
