| - Ah, nothing like a brand new hotel! This place is pretty great and since it's new (and in Arizona) you pretty much have all the amenities to yourself!
From the pool, fitness center, laundry room and free breakfast (sorry, Residents only folks), it's the gift that just keeps on giving. Residents (the people like myself that stay in the rooms that are studio apartments) get services like dry cleaning, grocery shopping, etc. You just fill out the grocery list and give it to the concierge then within a few hours someone pops by with everything you ordered. For dry cleaning just put everything in the dry cleaning bag and room service will pick it up. All of course is charged to your room.
The free breakfast was a nice addition. Eggs, sausage, bacon, oatmeal, waffles, pancakes, grits, cereal, milk, juices, pretty much all the standard breakfast items and it's all you can eat as well!
The rooms are fantastic! Everything is low height which I love and for a 6ft person like myself it was perfect (tall people might not like it as much.) Everything was clean and new. The only minor negative was that a picture in my room had bad ahesive and kept popping open to reveal the circuit breaker behind it.
Rooms were pretty soundproof, I couldn't hear anything from the other rooms nor from outside. AC was excellent as well, when I turned it on, the room was chilled in under a minute. The rooms included tea, coffee, popcorn for free as well.
Overall this is going to be my go to spot when I'm in Phoenix! Great amenities, staff was ok, and a beautiful hotel.
*If you don't make your check-in time for whatever reason they WILL give your room away and still charge you even if you have a 7 day booking like myself! We sorted it out with Marriott's upper management and ended up not being charged, but being forced to find another room and initally being charged is NOT COOL!
