I stayed here for work (Two days of meetings). Checking in was a breeze and staff was very friendly. King size bed on the 8th floor. My room overlooked the pool area. Nice not to be staring into another building or hotel. The bed was comfortable. It was a little stuffy but at least it wasn't freezing like most Phoenix hotels. The fitness room had at least 5 treadmills, weights and bikes. The outdoor pool looked nice, but I didn't get in. The lobby area is gorgeous; beautiful crystals and gems on the tables. There is a very nice restaurant/bar in the lobby with windows that open up to the sidewalk; there is a restaurant that is farther back, with a little more privacy, there is a Starbucks which was great for me to get my morning chai, and last the lounge on the 19th floor was fantastic! Great breakfast and dinner with comfy chairs. The one drawback was the parking situation. It cost $30 for valet services.
