| - I finally spent the night at the Phoenix Downtown Sheraton. It is a beautiful hotel. Previously, my husband and I have attended several Black Tie Events (John C. Lincoln Health Foundation Night of Gold) in its massive ballroom. It is a wonderful venue for a charity event. But my only true hotel experiences were the ballroom, common areas, the gorgeous lobby and bar. I felt that before I could really review a hotel property, I had to sleep there.
Lady Gaga recently came to Phoenix to strut her stuff. A few of us decided we had to see this and needed a home base close to US Airways Arena. A 30th floor 2-bedroom suite at the Downtown Phoenix Sheraton perfectly fit the bill. With 4 of us spending the night a few friends joined us as we primped and partied in anticipation of seeing Mama Monster. Everything about the Sheraton was seamless. Parking valet, check in, and bellman were very efficient. The room was WOW! There were two bedrooms, each connecting to a common living room with a view of downtown Phoenix and South Mountain beyond. We were able to watch all of the concert activity around US Airways from our windows!
Furnishings are new and tasteful in a very clean simple way. Contemporary prints of cacti decorate the walls. Bathrooms are large and stocked with nice toiletries. The beds are WONDERFUL with white down comforters and lots of fluffy pillows. Flat screen TVs, large work desks, bar in living room, cordless telephones, black out drapes (very important after a gaga night!) and even an efficient video check out.
I will return again to the Downtown Sheraton and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling on business or enjoying an evening in the Phoenix downtown area.
