I went on a- Get ready to lose your lunch. Here it comes... I went on a "staycation" this weekend!
Wow, I feel nauseous just typing that.
Anyhow, I stayed at the Pointe this weekend. So the rooms are pretty good, but this place has one really cool thing going for it. The lazy river ride. There's no better way to spend a July afternoon in Phoenix than sitting in an inner tube and drinking beer.
I did park my car under the wrong tree and I did have to stop at a carwash to blast about 50 bird dookies off my car on the way home, but I won't hold that against them since the trees also give the resort a certain level of charm. Just don't park under any of them.
The rooms are a fairly good value, but expect to get nickle-and-dimed if you want anything more. The restaurants are kind of pricy (and not that good) and it's $12/day if you want to use the internet in the room.
