| - Your basic economy lodging: a modest amount of amenities with several flaws.
The rooms are small, but functional with a bed, small desk and a tiny bathroom. A TV sits on top of a number of dressers, although many of the channels had poor reception. Of the more optional items, there was a coffee maker as well as a pool out back.
A continental breakfast is served from 5-10 am which appears to be mostly some pastries, yogurt, cereal as well as a waffle maker. There is a small business office next to the desk where you can use the computer.
The rooms meet basic cleanliness although the walls are on the thin side. Noises from the hall or adjacent rooms can be heard fairly easily. On one night, the noises from an amorous couple could be clearly heard which woke me up: as I rolled over, I sleepily muttered "Get a room." A few moments later it dawned on me that it was, in fact, exactly what they'd done.
The location is convenient next to the airport: there's very easy access to and from Skyharbor. The downside of this is that you can hear planes on their take-off from one of the runways. Not so much of a problem at night, but some of the early morning take-offs could be an issue.
On caveat is that they mention that they are close to the new light rail line. It's actually a fairly long hike: probably near the two mile range to the station near University Ave. There's possibly one that's closer at Skyharbor, but since you'd probably have to hike across the runways, that may be discouraged.
