“Lovely place to go out for breakfast or brunch with your family, friends or partner. Service is always friendly and attentive and the portion sizes for skillets and pancakes are generous. Their skillets are also really good. They also have an interesting fruit platter too, with pineapple, honeydew, grapefruit, cantaloupe, watermelon etc.

It's one of my partner's and I's favorite places to go for brunch, and I'm always looking forward to eating here again :)“

“A classic diner with fair prices. No item in particular that I would recommend, order what you like and I guarantee it's good. The service feels very human, they're nice but not over the top. I've also never seen the place packed, I'm sure it probably gets busy on weekend mornings but if you're looking for a last minute breakfast/brunch I'd bet this place will have one of the shortest waits out of anywhere.“

“Inside of the doubletree sits Milagros, a southwestern based restaurant. We didn’t come here for a full meal, just a light appetizer. The one thing that caught my eye was the chicken tortilla soup. The gentleman who served us was working behind the bar and seemed to suffer from a Parkinson’s type ailment, because when the soup was served it had made a mess around the edge and over the saucer. Kind of ruined the anticipation since I had been looking forward to it. It was tasty, just wish it hadn’t sloshed around so much.“

“I had many amazing experiences with all of the staff members throughout the hotel during our stay for conference. The front desk staff, the bar staff, the conference room staff.... everyone was super friendly and nice. The guys outside helping with cars, the shuttle and such were probably the most helpful. We talked to all different shifts and met them all and they were just so nice. Today I checked out and forgot my blanket somewhere. We knew it was in hotel but the shuttle was leaving. Otto ran up to look for it but we had to leave to go to airport. I swear I literally got off the shuttle and was looking for my passport and turned around and there he was with my blanket!! Who is so kind!? Thank you to the whole staff for being so kind but Otto....that was a Minky and was over $200!! Wasn't just any blanket and Ohio is not close to Arizona! Thank you so so so much!!!“
