My husband and I traveled to Phoenix for the 2011 Ironman Arizona. Most hotels near the race site were booked or very expensive. After looking on Trip Advisor I found this little gem. From the front it may be off putting due to a restaurant space being renovated. However, turn the corner and it's a little desert oasis. Beautiful landscaping,... More

I am currently staying at the Smoke Tree Resort and truly believe this is a hidden gem. My unit has new carpeting, queen bed that is really comfy, kitchenette with microwave, frig, coffee maker and wet bar. Very nicely decorated with flat screen tv, leather chairs, etc. There is a fabulous grocery store (A.J.'s about a block away in a... More

Had made a reservation at this place online based on reviews here on Trip Advisor. The reservation was made 3 months in advance.

The Smoke Tree was perfect. We had a lovely room surrounded by a beautiful courtyard. Eric was very nice and helpful with directions and dining suggestions. Nearby, A J... More

My husband and I stayed at the property on March 4 for two nights. We were originally booked to stay 4 nights but changed to stay at a new property to be near a relative. After we were escorted to our room, we wished that we had not changed our reservation. We were in room 31, with a large patio,... More

I have stayed at Smoketree for several years now. I love the grounds (lawns, flowers, the feeling of a little separate universe) and the location. The rooms are spacious and private, and they go out of their way to accomodate. I especially like that the staff is nice to my dogs when I travel with them. This is not a... More
