Radisson Fort McDowell Resort Reviews

Booked a couples spa day. Did not realise there was no spa at the hotel. Only a room for massage. No complimentary robes or slippers. No changing rooms or lockers. The pool area was ok but no clean towels at 11am. Loud hip hop music playing.

The hotel is very nice with well designed clean rooms. The conference facilties are fantastic.

1st day, awesome. Great employees with positive and friendly attitudes. Has lunch on site and the club sandwish was phenomenally great.

We stayed here for 1 night. We received a mailer to stay for $49. We checked in and they gave my husband a $10 play voucher, he took it to the casino players club and they refused to honor it because he received the $49 deal for the hotel. Are you kidding me you're going to out of business for $10 whatever. We go up to our room for the night and the room is nice but OMFG the bed was like sleeping on a concrete block. Not Cool. We won't ever be staying here again.

stayed here somewhere between 5 and 10 times. the last three times when we checked in they have told us there were no king beds available. hard to believe that at 3-4pm in the afternoon they have no bed requests available. walking down the hall to our room we saw mulitple rooms being cleaned that had no occupants and had king beds. the staff looks at you with a blank look on their faces when you ask them questions. this hotel is on the reservation but come on hire some people that have a bit of personality and can get things done. i for one will NOT be back. go to talking stick. the rates are similar in most cases and you will not have a roblem like this.

This place is the worst. Middle of no where out of the way from everything. Food is absolutely awful. Casino is a dump. Service is terrible considering I waited at there restraunt for 40+ minutes with only a drink. A friend of mine told me to come to this resort and all I can say is I will not be returning. Next time I'm in Pheonix I will be choosing a different resort which is very unfortunate becsuee I had high hopes for Wa-Ko-Pa. If you looking for a better hotel go to Talking Stick Resort instead.

Staff is friendly and helpful, rooms are clean. Pool is a fun place for the kids to go with live dj and movie on Saturday night.

Hotel changed hands. The upgrade started on the outside. It looks beautiful. The rooms suck. My TV wouldn't work so it was fixed. Stopped again but maintenance had already left. Fixed it myself based on what was done before then batteries in remote died. Doesn't work without remote. Bathroom fan doesn't work. If it rains the pool key doesn't work. For the price I would expect more. Don't let looks fool you.

Beautiful We-Ko-Pa. Will recommend to anyone wanting a gateway to enjoy a quiet and serene moment. Will visit again!

We visited We-Ko-Pa Casino for the first time on Monday, Nov 9th, 2020. We used to like to play video Keno at Fort McDowell Casino so we thought we'd try this new casino near Fort McDowell. Big mistake! The Keno here is lousy!

There are very few Keno machines and absolutely no multi-card Keno machines here at all (other than new varieties of 4-card Keno)!

The new varieties of Keno games are called 'Target Lock' and 'Ultimate X' Keno which are very difficult to understand and seem to have very low odds of winning. And even worse, nobody is even willing to learn how to play them! They want to play multi-card Keno like they offer at every other Casino in the world! See photos of these new Keno games below.

So if you like Keno, like us, you probably won't be coming back here anytime soon!

Best place to spend money.lol..by far the best casino in the state.everything about this resort is on point..my family and I would like to thank we-ko-pa resort and casino.....to all you reading this.trust me..visit this place.

Amazing!! Skip the restaurant though, server forgot one of our plates... and disappeared for 20 minutes while they made it but showed no remorse in the fact that one of us sat there and watched 3 of us eat....the rest of our stay was fantastic.

Casino is under construction
Rooms were nice.

Clean modern rooms, nice restaurant...casino needs renovation

LOVED the old Fort McDowell...was by far my favorite casino in AZ. WeKoPa is beautiful. It's really modernized and the casino is very attractive to the eye. The layout is much better and 3asier to navigate.. however, when it was Fort McDowell, there were several selection of Sheen but you could change the vet to be down to $0.01 or $0.05 by wedding one line up to a hundred times and you got to select back. Now there are very few machines that allow you to do that I would say probably five or six of them. In comparison, Fort MacDonald had about 50% to 60% of the machines there we're able to be manipulated to which you can choose your number of lines down to one line and more. That wasn't going with just say $12 (which is usually my magic number LOL that's pretty much all I'll ever usually bring to the casino...of my money anyway and that plus free play at 1 to 5 cents per spin has led to a lot of success in the past ...by slowly building money up...then and ONLY then I'll use my winnings ..aka. the CASINOS money to bet higher which can lead to either some seriously large wins or back to nothing..either. way I'll only have lost 12 bucks of MY money when It comes down to it ! :) Sadly though
..I am super limited in my ability to do that at this new WeKoPa ...so..all in all HARRAHS AKChin is now my favorite casino in AZ! You rock HARRAHS! PLEASE DONT CHANGE...(and dont take away the covered 5 cent Cleopatra keno
..ok?)

Very nice clean rooms with easy access to the Casino and restaurants

Charged me for too many days and never returned deposit

Clean room, great restaurant, and short walk to the casino!

Very nice hotel fort McDowell casino a very short walk away, kid friendly also, great for the whole family.

Good place for a conference. Saguaro course was excellent.

When II can predict what tables will win, it don't seem so random...lol....I believe they input the card numbers they want to win . I won't be contributing to their bingo game anymore, you can tell who wins a lot by the patrons that come back.

Clean comfortable rooms. Great mattresses. Friendly staff. I enjoyed the casino. Fabulous dinner at Embers. Not so fabulous breakfast at Anhala. Loved the golf course. Will definitely be back. Just will find somewhere else to eat breakfast.

Oh it's nice the sitting areas a supper nice also the pool area and the casino is right behind the resort I really enjoyed being there

We had a good time. The casino smells nice and is smoke free

Been on hold with the front desk for thirty minutes after they wouldn't give my wallet back to my girlfriends dad. I had spoken to them the night I lost it we were home 20 min away and they said they would leave a note that he could pick it up. Still on hold and the lady that originally answered the phone had an extremely difficult accent to understand

Friendly staff and nice facilities for hosting a conference.

Wonderful food, great facility for mastermind. Having a wonderful time

Great people nice rooms... breakfast at the casino was ok

It was ok seemed to be crowded lost about 600 slots wasn't to loose!

The venue is much smaller than I anticipated but the convention staff does an outstanding job. Easily some of the best convention food I've ever had. (and I go to a lot of conventions.). My only real complaint is the isolation of the venue. It's fairly far from anything.

Staff are friendly and they have a wonderful pool area. It's clean and family friendly. I think that RaTorri is s wonderful addition to the staff team.

Hotel was very nice and clean golf course was great food was great staff was hit or miss the Indian people can be a little rude and not very friendly sometimes. casino was nice smokey too and does not really pay out. Nice area close by is fountain hills and you are about 20 minutes away from Scottsdale.

Beautiful resort on reservation. There is nice restaurant and another at golf club and the casino has several. Beautifully maintained.

Hotel was nicer than expected and reasonably priced. Construction nearing completion for new casino addition. Grand opening 10/29. I'll be there.

Love the staff they treated us like we were important and with respect

Love this place. We come here 3 or 4 times a year... far enough away from home to feel like a mini vacay...close enough to get home if there is an emergency...ENTIRE staff is incredible!! Hands down, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this resort!!

Didn't golf or gamble but the stay was fantastic. Great beers, tasty food-snacks and entrees and salads-and services by staff and servers that made one feel special. Highly recommended!

Overall ir was very good. The highlight was the service, it was great. The property was very good and the location was slightly iff the beaten path but that was actually a plus. We got a really good deal so that made it sweeter so to speak. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

I would call this a "decent" hotel. My husband and I stayed here for two nights over the 4th of July weekend (for our anniversary). The room was fine, but nothing fantastic, I thought it was clean, and staff extremely friendly. Our stay would have been better if the hotel hadn't checked in a family shortly before 1am with several children in a room that was adjoining to ours by a closed door. We were kept up for hours by yelling and had to ask to be moved the next day. I don't know why they wouldn't have tried to put that family, checking in late, late at night, in a room at the end or something, it seemed lacking in hospitality logic. You can literally hear everything in the next room through those doors, so that's something to be aware of. If you're a couple wanting a quiet weekend, I would strongly suggest asking for a room that does not adjoin with another by a door.

Anhala was lovely, we had a really nice time there. The waitress was attentive and the drink I ordered was fabulous. The casino next door is also good. Decent pool, though insanely crowded that weekend.

My favorite part of the hotel was the wandering cows and horses in the parking lot, a delightfully weird perk of staying there.

This is a great resort for people who just want to just hang around the pool, play golf, or doing spa during the day, and then hit the casino at night. Basically, just relaxing at this resort 24/7. It's quite far from downtown Phoenix or Scottsdale. They do have shuttles to nearby Fountain hills area. Bed is comfy, all furnishings are good quality. Overall a good stay but you'll need a car if you want to venture out to the city and other metro areas.

Classy resort with very friendly staff! Made my birthday memorable! Will definitely be return guests!

This was a lovely place to stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. Room was very nicely decorated and was quiet. The pool and hot tub were great and so was the restaurant right next to the hotel. The Casino was fun as well. My family and I enjoyed our stay and will visit again.

Amazing rooms, great view, great pool, good food. Beautiful resort overall!

Only there for a little bit but saw them cleaning machines often and workers very friendly.

Omg this is such a nice resort.the staff is so kind and helpful.

Great place for overnight or long weekend... Very clean, very nice staff

The restaurant Anhala inside the casino is a wonderful gem. My husband and I ordered the rib eye steak to celebrate and it was amazing. The food was cooked right; I like mine medium and he likes his well done. Usually he complains it's not cooked enough for well done, but this one was spot on. One of their best sellers is an Angus burger and we will try that next time.

Very Nice..Roomy good assortment of games..Love The Quick Hits..30 cents up to 3.00

Sharon in reservations was a rude *itch! She actually said that she didn't have a supervisor that I could talk to. And would not let me talk to anyone else. Then hung up on me. Worst experience EVER! We were gonna spend about 5 grand to stay there. Would not recommend. And Sharon, suxk it. I can spend my money elsewhere.

This is a very clean and friendly place to be. The front desk manager, I believe her name is Brandy is very professional. The rooms are very clean and pretty spacious. That bathrooms are very clean. The pool is clean, the fitness center has a lot to offer and clean, and the grounds are well maintained. The Ahala restaurant has some great tasting food and the ambience is very relaxing. Noveta with her professional attitude, at the restaurant, made my meal even more enjoyable. This was my second time here and I would not hesitate to bring my family here for some quiet time because it is well isolated from city life.

Very nice place. Rooms are walking distance to casino.
I would like to thank them for donating a room, through the Cancer society. Totally free for us to stay in while I got treatment.
Great place hope I get to stay there again.

Great time. Pool area is a blast. Clean rooms. Nice and friendly staff. Will def come back

Very nice place, 2 pools and 2 Jacuzzis. They welcomed us with a simple but excellent refreshment at sunset. Free Wi Fi, clean and spacious rooms.

Nice conference center but didn t win at the casino. Good service just a few miles from the lake and river.

Love the big rooms always so nice and clean with everything you u want or need to enjoy your night

Great room, sleep number bed, great restaurant just across from the entrance, 3x points on Monday!

There's construction occurring & then no water to wash up in this AM due to a busted pipe. I would not recommend.

Came here for a horror con event. The conference room was very warm from the number of people inside, but an overall nice location to visit.

When checking into the hotel, they didn't monitor my temperature or mask.
They refused to give me the current hotel price after I had purchased earlier at a higher price.
$30 resort fee for what? No one was swimming because the pool was too cold.
Bonuses on the machines are terrible.
I could go on and on....

Had a great night, the room was clean and very nice. Had drinks and listen to live music and gamble.

Much cleaner than the old fort mcdowell. Drink service is a little slow. Smoking areas are sub par, outside with no coverings if it rains or when it is hot. EMBER is amazing, but wish slightly larger appetizers for the cost. Bingo has many more tablets than before, but the screens to see the numbers are to small.

Great staff and good games. Its a coin flip if you win or lose.
