| - Very good choice for an inexpensive stay near my friend's super ritzy resort wedding.
When I saw that the $500/night resort wedding venue had wedding rates of ~$229, I was like...eh...maybe if I were making lawyer money still, heh. But not now.
Instead, I chose to stay at this Courtyard, which is about 4 minutes away and was less than half that price. I thought it was worth the price paid, and the bed was SUPER comfortable.
The lobby was clean and modern, and the staff with whom I spoke at check-in and throughout the stay was very friendly and helpful. The room was pretty far from the elevator, but once we understood the different entry points, it wasn't a big deal because it actually was closest to the parking area (and the secondary elevator near there).
The room was spacious enough, and the beds, as I mentioned, were very comfortable. There are plenty of plugs and work space available, and the free wifi was reliable and quick. The AC unit is rather noisy, so we were lucky enough that it wasn't hot to the point of needing to use the AC overnight.
A couple of things I'd change: (1) provide lotion among the toiletries (because it's freaking Arizona and dry as um...Arizona!) and (2) have a fan in the bathrooms.
Otherwise, for the price, I definitely thought this place was worth it. The location is a little hidden (just look for the signs pointing the way), but ultimately it was beneficial because it's near grocery stores and restaurants. The pool is open late (until 11PM), and it was a refreshing way to end the day.
Recommended for affordable accommodations if you're looking for something in this area.
