| - Hospitality Suite Resort was my home away from home this last week and although they are not a posh spa type resort, they were filled with heart and gave me everything I needed in the seven nights I spent there.
Why did I chose Hospitality Suite Resort? I needed a place for seven nights (eight days) while I worked on my qualifying exams and worked on my dissertation in Phoenix. I had two basic needs, a place that was cheap and had free internet. That they had a daily breakfast was a plus, as was laundry facilities. They had the best price for all these options, so I jumped.
After a flight to Sky Harbor, getting a rental car, driving to Scottsdale, I had a hard time finding the hotel. I finally asked another hotel on Scottsdale Ave. and she said, "OH yeah, the numbers are funny that way!" Ha! Very funny. After that first time, I didn't have any trouble finding my way back to it again. My morning commute to the Hokokum campus was very straightforward. I was pretty much set.
I was greeted by a fellow named J.J. who talked very fast (or maybe because of my travel and the time, I was processing very slowly). He gave me a room on the third floor that was "overlooking the pool" (P.S. all rooms are "overlooking the pool"). He told the best place to park and showed me on the map where the elevator was. It did take me awhile to find the elevator with my stuff in my hands, but eventually I did. There were some British/French kiddos hanging out in the poor area, whooping it up and there was music coming from the lounge, but it didn't matter, I was so tired, I could have fallen asleep in a airplane (oh, wait, I did that too!).
The next morning, I took in more of my surroundings. My room had a lovely little kitchen with all the necessities and a nice large bathroom with a small stall shower. The was a lovely full-sized ironing board and steam iron. There was a coffee maker in the kitchen, along with a toaster, microwave, fridge (small) and hotplate. There was a nice reading lamp over the bed and an easy-to-use clock radio. There was a desk as well as a table and three chairs. The king size bed was comfortable, but not overly so. I certainly had no trouble sleeping while there, but I didn't have a trouble getting out of bed either. Perfect.
Breakfast was a choice of five breakfasts. The menus were laminated, meaning the that choices did not change, but that was ok. I chose two eggs, sausage, hash browns, whole wheat toast, oj and coffee every morning. By the second day, I was greeted by name. That was a nice touch, because I felt that I was very very far away from home.
Instead of eating out every night, I went to Food City, just down the road and bought supplies to heat up in the micro. I bought sodas for the fridge and micro popcorn. Ahhhhh... all the comforts of home. Because I was up late working on my classwork, the partying didn't bother me. The pool was a magnet for people, even at night, because it finally was cooling down. I didn't go to any of the happy hours (friends don't let friend write on their dissertation drunk), but they sure looked like people were having fun!
Doing laundry was a little complex due to my own non-reading of the map. I made this huge circuitous route because I didn't know there was a laundry room in the part of the hotel I was staying. Next time I will know!!
All in all, I enjoyed my stay at Hospitality Suite Resort. Next time I would bring less clothes because of the superb laundry facilities (you don't need to bring quarters because you buy tokens at the lobby). Next time I would remember to bring a swim suit because those pools looked sooooo good!
Yep, next time I would stay at Hospitality Suite Resort, it's got it all.
