I stayed here while in Phoenix for work and it was great! The lobby is beautiful - I really enjoyed the rose scented water they offered, the service was phenomenal and all in all it is a top-notch hotel.
The pool is small, however so I am not sure that it is the best spot for vacationers. The mall is right across the street, but it closes very early (7 p.m.), there is a huge movie theater right next door though.
