We stayed here July 30 to August 1, 2004. The hotel is physically attractive with nice desert landscaping. The lobby area is quite nice also, but a little noisey.
The front staff are friendly and efficient. We only ate breakfast on site and ordered the buffet. Everything was good...not the greatest meal ever, but far from the worst.
We were a little disappointed by the pool. We felt that, for such a large resort, the pools was rather tiny. But while we were there, a ton of military people were there as well, so it was a little crowded.
The draw back to this location is just that....location. It is about a 20-30 minute drive back into central Phoenix or Scottsdale. And about a 5 mile drive to the nearest services (gas, restaurants, etc.)
But, we got a $59 government rate, so we can't complain. In fact, as long as they offer this rate, we would probably return.
Last year, we stayed at the Westin Kierland in Scottsdale. If you have the option of choosing between the two, it's a no-brainer...go with the Kierland. But this is not a bad hotel either. We just wish it was closer to Phoenix.

The perfect spot for our "Faux-cation" (fake vacation). The staff was so kind and friendly, everyone was so helpful. Our early checkin was not a problem for this accomodating staff. We stayed by the pool all day the service was great. A little pricey on the frozen drinks and appetizers. But average resort pricing. The water slide and sand by the pool was a big hit with the kids. We slept like babies on the wonderful beds. The bathrooms were awesome with very deep tubs. We ate dinner at the Ko Sin Restaurant. Our service was great, although it took an hour to receive our meals due to an error with the kitchen printer. We were offered free drinks and 2 of our dinners were comped. All in All a very pleasant experience. Highly Recommend for a great getaway.

We too enjoyed this hotel (got an off season rate of $89/nt through sga.com), stayed June '04. The secluded area was great and only 2.5 miles to the highway. So easy access. Sevice by the pool was fine for us. Prices the same as other places. ($7.95 for a quesedilla -sp?). The spa prices were I thought comparable to others in Phoenix/Scottsdale. Especially liked that the spa offered its day pass on a weekly bases of $45 (or $20 day). We hung out at the spa pool - quite, peaceful, no smokers! Went horseback riding - Our cowboy Bill was very nice. took the little boat to the casino. Rooms were very nice and clean (so we overlooked the parking lot - big deal). You can not go wrong staying here. Everyone was friendly!!!

I visited the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass last week and thought it was a great resort. The rooms were updated and spacious and the service was impeccable. The staff is very helpful and personable and seems to really believe in their "satisfaction" guarantee policy. If you like "great" service, you'll love this place. The food was good also. I didn't visit the pool during my stay but it was nice. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who asks.
