Case: This is not a Resort, it is the Last Resort.  Terrible place.  Do not stay here.  The room was stinky, there were stains on the carpet and on the walls.  I saw a roach in the bathroom.  The shower didn't work right and the tub wouldn't drain.  So when you shower, the tub fills up.  We found out, on our own, nobody told us, that the pool was closed.  Why are we paying a $22 resort fee when there are no resort items?   No pool, no coffee maker, nothing.  In the middle of the night, someone tried to break in to our room.  This seems to be another issue at this hotel.  Break ins while you are sleeping.  To top it off, the construction woke us up at 5:45 a.m. We were on the 12th floor and it sounded like they were taking a wrecking ball to our tower.  We jolted away and ran to the window to see what was going on.  It was very LOUD!!  It even shook our room and we were on the 12th floor!!!  I tried calling the front desk but they didn't answer.  I let it ring for over 20 minutes and they still didn't answer.  I tried that 3 times.  We decided to check out one day early, so much for my daughter's 21st birthday celebration.  When I complained at the desk the girl asked if we had tried to call the desk to complain.  I told her we had but that nobody was answering.  I finally talked to the manager.  I told her that they should not book rooms next to the construction noise and that they should mention on the website that there is ongoing construction.  She said it was on the website (it is not) and that it has been going on for over a year- as if that explains it all. \n     Even though they are doing renovations there is NO EXCUSE to not clean the carpets and wipe down the walls.  There is NO EXCUSE for not dealing with the plumbing issues which are rampant in that hotel as was stated by others we met.  There is NO EXCUSE for not answering the house phone.  When I told the manager that they don't answer the house phone because they do not want to hear the complaints, she said, \""I know.\""  Very telling.  To their credit they refunded my money, except for the $22 resort fee.  Do not stay here.  It is worse than a Motel 6.

Case: My mom and I were looking for a good place to eat yesterday and we thought we'd try this cute little spot that seemed to be full of people as we drove down Scottsdale Rd.\n\nAnd yes, when we arrived inside the cafe, it was booming with young, fitness going clientele. Nice. No limping people here. \nMy mom ordered the low carb breakfast which she seemed to love that included an egg with cheese covered in a pesto sauce over a bed of greens. It also included a hash brown patty. \n\nI ordered the humanitarian wrap, which consisted of a tomato wrapper with an assortment of veggies including zucchini, yellow peppers, broccoli, tomato, quinoa and hummus. So good. Right up our alley. \n\nWe loved the food there but I think what we loved most was the staff member who pulled a table for us because he saw that we were eating our food without one. The place was really small and there were tables outside but it was hot as shit so my mom decided she wanted to sit inside even if we didn't have a table. \n\nThere was a large group of people next to us still chatting away after they had finished their food, so the staff member just kindly grabbed one of their tables for us, letting them know that we needed it to eat. That was awesome. Those people were totally oblivious to the two ladies sitting right next to them eating food on their laps, like that's something we would have chosen to do even if there were available tables.\n\nAnyway, lovely place. Wide variety of great healthy food. Young crowd mostly. Tiny location. Great service.\nCan't wait to return.

Case: My sister took me here because she used to take her kids to the dance studio next door (dance on, my friends). To my surprise, I actually found a breakfast place that doesn't completely kill me on the inside. I'm used to finding good breakfast spots in Los Angeles, but here in Arizona it's a bit tricky and usually you give in to the drab that is named IHOP, then regret it later. I understand the location is a bit far away from what most normal people would travel to get food, but if you are in the area, DEFINITELY check it out.\n\nThe menu is pretty standard, the eggs benedict is actually good and I don't usually eat that. I had a caprece omelet, but added steak! I think the manager (or someone important?) came out and told me it was a pretty good idea; and it was. Outdoor seating is a little limited, but it's there. The inside has more seating, but it's honestly not too bright in there (which is actually good for early hangover breakfast outings).\n\nOverall 5 stars because of the food. Service was good, but nothing you will be blown away by, still good though, keep it up guys!

Case: Hanging out at Pure to catch a glimpse of the one hit K-Pop wonder Psy felt akin to being shuttled around like cattle. I think the goal was to pack in as many people as humanely possible before a serious fire hazard became a possibility. The normal Vegas crowd (read: scantily dressed ) was queued out in front. We were on the guest list (thanks to my brother- I'm not cool enough for that) so thankfully we didn't have to wait with said crowd.\n\nAs soon as we entered I was thrilled I didn't have to pay for this debaucle. The architect who designed the club should be banned from ever designing a club again. Super cramped with huge support columns throughout the club. It was incredibly awkward, difficult to discern where the actual dance floor was, and we were all forced to gawk at the VIP section (smack dab in the middle), who had loads of space to spare (bastards). The last thing I want to look at is a bunch of half naked hooches gyrating to some terrible pop dance hit. Ugg my eyes were burning...They kept trying to shuttle around the crowds so everytime we tried to find a place to stand, security tried to move us over. At one point I asked the security guard where he wanted us to go and he smiled and said good question. Even he recognized the absurdity of the situation. Please don't bother paying for this club. Its a joke..

Classify the following: Good Thai food with HEAT!\n\nSo, my wife and I love us some Thai food.\n\nSaw this location in a Phoenix Magazine article and stopped in when visiting family nearby. Was a good visit and reminds me of a small Thai restaurant from back in Hawai'i.  \n\nFirst, good boba teas always make a meal better. My wife and girls though the boba were cooked perfectly and the flavors were yummy.  From there, the noodle dish my wife had and the fried rice my daughters enjoyed all hit the spot. I had the Sala Thai noodle dish and asked that it be very spicy. Even though I ask, I'm used to restaurants giving me something barely mild. Not here! They truly game me a good mix of heat and flavor-- perfect for clearing out the sinuses. \n\nThe wait staff is very young and I get the sense this is a family-owned joint. The crew even appeared to have dinner together at the back table when we were wrapping up and paying. We're very cool with that family small-dining experience.
