Figured I'd write a review here, being that this place was my very first impression of Phoenix since it was the very first place I came when I "impromptu" moved here from NC in August 2012.
It doesn't really deserve four stars, maybe only three, but I gave it a little bump considering the other guy's kinda dumb review. For a cheapish hotel in an area I now know isn't super-safe, this place is all right. I had absolutely no problems when I stayed here, the staff was super-friendly and the room I stayed in (for about a week) was consistently looked after. They even cleaned up the litter my cat scraped onto the floor; BAD CAT.
When we were there, they were doing some kind of renovations, and I was glad to see it was a family affair; members of the owners' family were digging into the earth and installing whatever. I just like to see a family-owned business like this doing okay, as opposed to some corporately-owned and randomly-staffed place.
Anyway, not the Four Seasons or anything but it'll do...for me and for you!
