Enjoyable but uncertain if we'd...

Liked: Wonderful property with an excellent restaurant wait staff. The architecture and overall quality of the physical facility was outstanding. Lighting, both inside and out (night) was well conceived. Service staff did excellent job restoring the grounds after weddings, other guest group events. Front entrance staff were particularly helpful and friendly.
Disliked: Food in general at the hotel was pricy - $19 for oatmeal? - McArthur's food was less good quality / preparation than the price charged. Housekeeping staffing needs far better support >> too few of them to cope with the volume of guests - rooms should not be UN-made at 4pm when guests are out all day. [pay staff more and have better results]. Daily $35 "Resort Charge" (and the associate tax) should be included in the base room rate and so footnoted in marketing, other materials. #1 complaint: why was there NO print material in the rooms (or anywhere else in the facility) about the hotel, its offerings, the local area (Phoenix Magazine, etc.), NO maps of the area / Phoenix. Having traveled at the 5* level for decades, this was a first - and quite irritating. Implied that the hotel's focus was on groups (whose time is generally managed by the host company) vs. FIT's who would appreciate some perspectives on the area etc. >> a missed opportunity.
