Francisco Grande Hotel and Golf Resort
About Francisco Grande Hotel and Golf Resort
Francisco Grande Hotel and Golf Resort is on the campus of Grande Sports World, an award-winning, world-class training destination for youth, professional, and national teams from around the globe. Grande Sports World sets the gold standard of excellence for youth soccer development in the country by providing coaching, facilities, professional fields, dining, and lodging in one central location. History Horace Stoneham, the legendary owner of the San Francisco Giants, built a first-rate training facility for his Boys from the Bay that included Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda and Willie McCovey. Word spread and soon fans traveled from around the world to see their Giants train and compete in the Cactus League, play superlative golf, and bask in the Arizona sun. John Wayne loved Francisco Grande as he kept a penthouse suite at the top of the hotel where he often stayed since he co-owned the largest cattle ranch in North America to the west of the property. Pat Boone took part in opening ceremonies more than 50 years ago and was a frequent visitor. You can walk where the rich and famous strolled to take in the view from the Eagles Nest and to enjoy seeing The Duke hold court. Today, the Francisco Grande Hotel & Golf Resort has been modernized and restored through a multi-million dollar renovation while honoring its commitment to preserving a rare and glittering past. Every guest room in the tower has a large, inviting balcony with expansive views of the golf course, sports fields, and mountain vistas. The resorts restaurant and watering holes provide a variety of casual and upscale dining and entertainment options. Francisco Grande also serves as a premium sports resort for athletes to train, play, rest, and refuel with nutrition designed meals from our chefs. 16 Major League Soccer teams and 5 international National teams have trained at the facility.

This property is a classic! It may be a little long in the tooth, but that’s part of the charm. My wife and I spend the night here once a year to celebrate an anniversary. We stay in the penthouse suite. Our favorite suite is the Pat Boone suite. We absolutely love it there! And the food is excellent!

"Had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the Francisco Grande! The rooms are massive and clean, and having a balcony to watch the sunrise over the golf course was a highlight.

The place is way outdated. Our room was ok, at best. The curtain sheer was ripped, spider webs in the corners, the a/c had to be repaired and the shower knob was broken then repaired. The place has lots of history. The pool was nice. All the furniture needs updated. The restaurant and bar were the highlights.

Came in after dark and it was not well lit up, I wasn't sure I was even at the right place. A really nice older oasis resort. The motel part could use many updates due to its age, but over all it was a lovely place.

Very welcoming staff. The rooms and property are dated and could use a facelift, but that's also part of the charm. Very interesting history for baseball fans (especially the San Francisco fans). The bar and restaurant are great. If you are looking for an out-of-the-way, unique experience, this is it.

We loved our stay at the Francisco! It is such a nice retreat from the city. The rooms and bathrooms are big and the beds are comfortable! The restaurant on the grounds has great food. The grounds are lovely for evening & morning walks and sunrise & sunset watching. The history was fun to learn about. 5 star stay!! All of the employees and staff were friendly and efficient.

It was an older hotel, clean but we had a bug probclem in our room. Had to kill several crickets.l It's kind of far out of town. When we checked in we asked about golf, but they didn't offer any perks for tlhat. Later when I went play golf I was treated like anyone else even though I was a guest at the resort.

It was farther out of town than anticipated when I reviewed it on the map. It’s an older property that’s been well loved and could really use a re-fresh however the view’s from the balcony make it a nice little oasis in the desert.

There's not a lot to do in Casa Grande, but the people are friendly and the neon light park is cool. We were there to bring our daughter to Rooster Cogburn's Ostrich Ranch about 35 mins south of the hotel. That is not to be missed. You'll have a blast even if you don't have kids!

This property is very very dated. Not well kept. There were bird droppings all over, that were finally swept up when we were leaving. Additionally the toilet was not working in our upgraded room and the water was shut off in the hotel. There is also no heat in the building. On a up note the staff was friendly especially in the restaurant.

The hotel turned off the heater and its freezing outside and there was a storm. They gave us a tiny space heater that was totally inadequate. We froze the entire time. What cheap a-holes. Then when it rained the elevators stopped working. We were on the 5th floor. The hot tub had hot water but most of the jets were broken. This used to be a nice hotel for rich people 25 years ago but now its a broken down overpriced pos

The bar and restaurant are very nice. Food and drinks are excellent. All the employees that we have had interaction with were very pleasant and helpful. Golfing was fun, but the course needs a little work. The rooms are a bit tired, but that wouldn't stop us from staying here again.

Stay was medium neither fantastic or terrible. Just average. There were not enough outlets in the room, beds were hard, the thermostat did not adjust, it just blew cold air and would no heat. Room service staff was great but the QR code in the book didn’t work so the staff had to read the menu over the phone. Had to order room service delivery for my coffee since the coffee maker in the room didn’t work. Like I stated before it was just average except for the staff. Every single employee we encountered was wonderful!!! It was a pleasure to meet them.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly. The rooms were very clean. My only complaint is the air conditioning did not work and it was difficult to sleep. I was told the air-conditioning is turned off during the winter months. This would’ve been acceptable, except the doors cannot be left open at night due to lack of screens. Otherwise, a very great place to stay.

Restaurant was good and convenient. Hotel staff was great. What I didn’t like is that it took too long to get hot water up to the seventh floor and dishes from room service laid outside a door for at least three days, before they were taken away!!

Room was clean and comfortable but the whole resort reminded me of an aging movie star past her prime. Lobby was so-so and I was so disappointed to come out of the elevator on the 6th floor to cement and an outside entrance to the room. Would rather have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

We wanted to enjoy our stay, growing up in the area it was one of the fancy places. Unfortunately we must have got them at a bad time, none of the ac's in the rooms we had worked. The door and sliding doors weren't sealed, so on top of the ac's not working they were trying to cool a room with warm humid air making them work overtime. Also because of the door and sliding door not being sealed there were black Beatles dead all over the floor by the entrances. I would go back and try again, because I know the hotel has awesome fold and history, but this was an all round bad experience. I hope they get these issues resolved.

There were water beetles swimming by the steps into the pool. The water was cloudy, dirty,full of dirt and leafs. I was told the pool is cleaned once a week. We did not let the grandson swim.

The property is in desperate need of updating. At the Very High weekend rate we paid I did expect furnishings and tv from this decade or even this century. If you like the Original vibe you will love this place. If you appreciate new beds, pillows and tvs larger than 20" this is Not the place for you.

I already left my review but i keep getting to leave a review so i will say again. It was dirty, dated and would not stay there again despite the convenience of being across from soccer fields. A/C is also not as cold as it should be for arizona, room service closes before 9pm so if you need any extras make sure to call before they leave. Tv is so small and sunken in to the cupboard that you have to sit indian style infront of it or scoot the chair super close to hear and see a decent show.

The rooms are very aged. tiny tv, AC in Penthouse room 803 was terrible. The restaurant had terrible service and the meal was not good. I will not stay there again.

The hotel staff were absolutely amazing and very professional. The rooms are in need of some repair work. Our door to the room was difficult to open as was the patio door and need to be fixed. The carpet in the room is stained and damaged and needs repairing. The food at the restaurant was great, we ate several meals there and again the staff was amazing. We would stay there again.

I would have rated my stay higher, but being an older hotel, more care is needed to ensure rooms are clean. My grandkids had bites on their arms and legs after sleeping in the bed one night.

The history of this place is awesome. HUGE pool and neat building. The room however was very HOT. And in the summer here in AZ that is just uncomfortable. I adjusted the AC and the room did not change in temp one bit.

First, Francisco Grande is in the middle of nowhere. You’ll see the lone hotel in the distance as you drive towards it. I was a little confused when I arrived because there were no visible signs showing the name of the hotel. Your GPS will take you directly to the front desk reception area, but more signage would be helpful. The hotel sits on the edge of a golf course, and offers peaceful views from the balcony. The hotel decor looks a little dated, however; the rooms are clean and comfortable. The restaurant was nice and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The hotel receptionist was also very friendly. I don’t know if I’ll ever be passing through the city of Casa Grande again, but if so, I’ll definitely stay here again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We met family there the first night to eat at the restaurant and didn’t realize that the kitchen was about to close. They sat us right down and didn’t have any problem with us. We definitely will be staying there again.

Customer service was excellent. Staff very friendly and accomodating. We loved the location and the beautiful views. The hotel is older and could use some updafing. The bathroom door is a heavy slide door that squeaks loudly. We believe this is what kept us from sleeping well at night, but not sure. It may have been the plumbing, but, in any evenr, it was loud and disturbing. It seemed to go on throughout the night. For this reason, we will not stay again. It"s too bad because otherwise, we liked this place. The room did not have a micro or fridge and given that it is several miles to the nearest store, both would've been nice.

The place is beautiful although it is quite aged. It is clean and the grounds are well maintained. It needs some updates, but overall it is a nice place to stay. I think you’ll find it charming and rather serene.

Just an overnight stay. The hotel was in great condition. The restaurant/bar was small but cozy. Food and service were good. Grounds were well kept. The only complaint I have was the odor outside. there are some nearby farm field and the fertilizer smell was strong.

I have stayed here 3 times and have generally been satisfied. Most recently, the hotel contacted me before my stay to inform me that they were having an intermittent water pressure issue (appreciated). Upon checkin, the desk agent (who was eating lunch behind the desk- not professional) told me again about the issue and rather directly told me not to plan to stay the night and then complain about it the next day. A bit taken back, I asked her if I would be able to shower, just with reduced water pressure. She replied that I would be able to shower without issue and provided instructions for avoiding the water pressure problem. The next morning, I awoke to shower only to find that I just didn't have water beyond a drip from the shower head. I followed their instructions 2-3 times and the issue did not improve the water quantity. Taking a sink/sponge bath is not what i had in mind. I know the issue is beyond their control, but I don't feel like they were honest about the severity of the problem. I really could have done without their condescending comments at check in, as i'm not the kind of person that wants something for nothing. I'm not looking for any compensation, I just hope this place gets their act together because it is a property that has a lot of potential if the proper updates are made to the rooms and furnishings.

Not a good stay. For those of us who have been to this "resort", this was very disappointing. As for things that were poor, it's too many to list. Start to finish. Management should indicate to the public as to current conditions of resort amenities, (no golf) and kitchen under renovation. You could see it in the faces of the employees when they have to come back and tell you " we don't have this" or "we ran out of that". Upon check out, two ladies behind the counter didn't even acknowledge my wife and I as we walked out.....Luggage in hand. Probably best they didn't. I may have dumped my bucket. Not sure where the 8 million dollar renovation went, (As listed in your home page), however it would behoove management to focus their attention on customer service for now. Let the public know ahead of time before making a long drive to an iconic establishment.

The boys soccer teams were on the same floor we were. Screaming, language omg, shutting doors, at midnight. Called and security came up. Still loud and awake at 1:30am with doors opening/closing loudly. Worst night ever! Woken up at 5:30am, yelling we’re are my shorts? Need signs, quiet 🤫 from 9pm-9am.
