| - This wasn't the worst stay I have ever had in a hotel. The stay went quite nice, but the room was simply unkept. I only stayed for one night on business. The grounds looked really nice - meaning the building, landscaping and decorations were nice. The room, however, was not.
I walked in to a standard room with beer bottles all over the desk - some full, some empty. The floor was not vacuumed. It was clearly gross. There were small stains on one of the bed comforters. The iron worked, but the dial to select steam or dry broke as soon as I touched it. The water that came from the tub faucet was slightly more than a trickle. All soap products were left with the wrappers off as if they had been used previously. The beds... they were turned down perfectly with fresh clean sheets.
Some would say that I should have demanded a different room. But after a 5 hour flight, and the worst jet lag to boot, I decided to make the best of it. I can't complain about my sleep or the stay. It went very well. I had cold cereal for free in a small room in the small lobby with no problems. The continental breakfast provided is very basic. It worked for me.
Overall, this place seems like it is in a questionable area of Tempe. The location has it's pros and cons - good location in the big scheme of the Phoenix Valley, but bad location as neighborhoods go. I would not go walking around at night. It looks good from the outside, but my room was a mess.
I guess if I wanted to be harsh I could give it one star. But my stay actually went quite smooth. However, I definitely would not stay there again or recommend that anyone else stay there until they get a better staff to clean the rooms properly.
