| - This is a hotel for people who need a place to sleep for the night, and they need it cheaply, and quickly.
Yes, it is supposed to be an 'extended stay' type place, but I would not recommend it for staying longer than a couple nights.
The area is not a place I'd live in, but its not the worse place I've been by a long shot. Its Phoenix, and not the good part. So yeah, you pretty much know what you get. But if you're from out of town then I guess you don't. Let's just say to expect inner city atmosphere...the uneasy, look over your shoulder kind.
The hotel itself is the outside kind, where you walk into your room from the outside. I don't like these kinds of places (apartments included). I guess I feel exposed or whatever. Meh.
The size of the room is itty bitty. But if you're traveling by yourself, then it is adequate. The bathroom is also small but good enough for what you gotta do. The bed in mine was a queen size. And there is a small kitchenette.
Cleanliness? This is where I had my problem. I saw a few roaches. I am not an uppity person, but I'd rather not pay to sleep with roaches...even if I'm not paying that much. I found one in the kitchenette sink which fled behind the coffee pot, then into the cabinet, then under the stovetop. Another one was found coming out of the drain in the shower. Maybe two roaches aren't bad for most people especially considering where I was and how much I was spending...but that's one too many for me. The roaches were, however, the only cleanliness issue I had.
Comfort? Uhm....the bed felt like a box, but its better than having nowhere to sleep at all. It creaked and groaned like the dickens, though. There was a nice little table to use as a desk/dining table/ironing board. The 'sitting chair' in the room I used as a place to put my stuff so I wouldn't have to sit everything on the floor and risk carrying roaches around with me.
Features? The kitchenette was nice to have even though I didn't use it. It has a little 2 burner stovetop, a little sink, a little fridge, a little coffee maker, and a little microwave. Pots, pans, and utensils were also supplied. I didn't inspect the cleanliness of any of that stuff cause I knew I wouldn't use them...and roaches had probably skimpered over it all anyway. The tv was little, like a 13 inch. It had Showtime stations, and a bunch of others like TNT, TBS, all the ESPN you could want, Cartoon Network, and the regular stations. There were more but nothing I watch. There was no iron, which sucked.
Service? I didn't get it. Room service only comes by on the 6th or 7th day. So if you need new towels, toilet paper, shampoo and the like, you had to go to the office to get it. And there was no garbage can in the room other than a tiny one in the bathroom...so all my garbage went in a Walmart bag. Then another Walmart bag. And another. When I left, I had three bags of garbage sitting for them.
I had noisy neighbors my entire stay. I have no idea what they were throwing around at 3am. Its like they were stomping whenever they walked. And someone MUST have been banging on the walls somewhere nearby. So peaceful, it ain't.
I found a different, better hotel along the way and checked out of here a few days early. They refunded my money without even blinking. So...
If you're in a bind like I am and money is an issue, this will suit your needs. There were only 2 roaches in my 3 days there. The kitchenette is a great value. If you don't mind the area then this is a decent choice.
