We were in Arizona for a competition. There was a huge baseball thing going on and I couldn't find a Residence inn that had the type of room I needed so initially I stayed at another hotel. After the second night I couldn't stand it there anymore and called around looking for a Residence Inn, which is my normal choice of hotel. I was directed to the Residence Inn on Paradise lane. I called, they had a room (since the baseball players were all checking out) and they had it at a great rate too! I packed my stuff and started my move and then checked on the ratings. I almost changed my plans again after seeing some poor ratings but I am glad I didn't.
The hotel is an older model of Residence Inn but they are in the middle of renovations and I happen to get one of the new rooms. It was wonderful! I did happen to see some of the older rooms that had not yet been renovated and they did not look bad, just not as nice as the newer ones. I normally cook in the hotel (one of the reasons I pick Residence Inn). They have all the necessary items to cook your own meals, unlike the hotel I originally had.
The hotel smells very clean and the employees are all very hospitable and you feel as if they really care about your stay being enjoyable.
They Breakfast was plentiful, they have lots of choices:
Oatmeal with various topping choices
Cold Cereals
Fruits
Waffles with lots of toppings
yogurt
breads, bagels, and lots of other pastries
eggs
potatoes
Breakfast meats
lots of drink choices
...and more!
They even had a dinner/hospitality hour. I was sad that I was only able to partake in one evening of this but it was very nice. The menu said Chicken Wings and Fries but they also had salad bar, fruit, two different choices of wings, and some other choices. It was very satisfying.
