I had an opportunity to stay at this fine establishment this week and I was very impressed considering this is a Holiday Inn. I generally stay away from the standard lower budget business hotels after more than a few bad experiences. I was however very impressed by this location.
It appears that the owners had recently gut out an older hotel and remodeled the entire place. The end result is modern, clean, comfortable and quite appealing to the eye. I ate in the breakfast cafe three mornings and the service was wonderful, friendly and prompt. The neighborhood is quiet and you are convenient to everything and anything. Scottsdale is just down the road 5 minutes and there is easy access to the expressways.
Each room is an actual suite with a separate bedroom area, refrigerator, microwave and small bar sink. Two TVs, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. large closet and plenty of drawers for clothes. There is a large desk if you need to work and a pullout sofa for extra sleeping.
As I was working in the gazebo one morning on my laptop I thought what a wonderful stay cation spot this would be if I lived in the Phoenix area. The price is right and if you stay in the courtyard you wouldn't guess for a minute that you were in Phoenix. There is also a lovely full bar in the lobby and a restaurant as well. So grab a bottle of wine and some microwave popcorn and settle in. This is the place to stay!
