The hotel itself is dated, the lobby dates back to 1912 when it was the original hotel built by the man Chandler is named after. The rest of the hotel where the rooms are located is more modern, but still decades old. Rooms are spacious, and all rooms, regardless of the floor they are on, face an interior courtyard. Our room had a patio out to the parking lot, but it was still very quiet. Bedding and mattress were very clean. Bathroom was older, but very clean. There was a makeup vanity area outside of the bathroom. This was helpful, as two people could have a mirror and be getting ready at the same time. The pool was heated in April, with lots of clean towels and a small limited bar on hand. The place gets an average rating from us as there was nothing special or out of the ordinary. The grounds were nicely maintained, as was the interior of the room....
The best thing about the hotel was its great location. This bumps our rating to "Very Good". Just step past the pool/lobby/restaurant area to the retail area beyond, and a dozen wonderful restaurants await you. Sushi Eye in Motion, The Irish Republic, San Tan Brewery. There was an art walk the night we were there with tons of people crowding the sidewalk and the grassy open space, and music from a local two person band to entertain. It was nice to walk around, eat, and be back at the hotel without driving or getting other transportation. Overall, a very good impression, and good value for your money as it was fairly inexpensive...

The hotel is a complex. It has courtyards that overlook palm trees and paths. Every room opens up onto one of the courtyards. The pool is beautiful, the restaurant serves decent food. Down town Chandler is within walking distance and the shops and restaurants are trendy and good! The rooms are spacious and quiet, but in need of a face lift. The decor in the room was a little out of date. Also, in our room, the bed gave me a back ache and could probably use a new mattress. I gave this three stars because I don't consider it a "resort" just because of the golf course and tennis courts. As a hotel, it is nice and worth the stay, however. You can drive to Scottsdale and Phoenix in about 15 minutes or so, and overall, each night we slept at the hotel was a peaceful one.

One of the worst golf courses I have ever played. I do not believe anyone can consider this a golf resort. Of 18 greens at least 14 of them was like putting on bare dirt. One of the staff tld me the greens have not been aerated in over 3 years! The sand bunkers were solid dirt and like hitting on cement. I will not play this course again - ever.

My wife and I stayed two nights this past weekend. Our room was large and modern. The bed was very comfortable. We did hear some low level noises from nearby rooms. The shower was very large with two shower heads, one that could be hand held and one rainfall style from the ceiling. Both had easily adjustable sprays. The towels were fluffy and fine.I wish the coffee maker had been positioned nearer an electrical outlet. The free wifi was great.Our evening meal was excellent and the breakfast buffet was very good for $9.95.
This hotel is located next to Historic Downtown Chandler and that is a great place to stroll among the shops and places to eat (which were busy). If I had reason to stay in Chandler again I would definitely consider the San Marcos.
