| - From my point of view, this hotel deserves about 3.5 stars. Since Yelp does not allow assigning star ratings in half-star increments, I will have to settle for 3 stars.
I have stayed at this hotel at least three times (and perhaps four; my memory fails me regarding an exact number...) since late 2007, and each stay was for at least.7 nights. For each of my stays, I reserved online via the hotel's own website; as is my practice, I never used any third-party booking services.
All of my stays at this property have been fine, and each of them were totally trouble-free. Each of the non-smoking rooms that I had reserved, and that I was assigned, were a very good distance from the highway, and each room was spacious, immaculately clean, and totally free of problems -- I cannot even think of one issue to complain about. Best, each room that I reserved also had a small kitchenette-type area, with a fridge and some cooking facilities.
Much as recent reviewer Josh B. noted, I too am amazed at the bizarre range of reviews, and particularly at some of the bizarre negative reviews, that I have noticed for this property on TripAdvisor and here on Yelp. My own experience with this property has only been great, even when I have needed, toward the end of a stay, to unexpectedly extend my stay by a few days in order to accomodate a change in plans; the property management folks at this hotel have always been very helpful and accomodating.
All three of my stays happened to include free breakfast at the restaurant/pub facility located on the property. I found the breakfasts to be quite good. I also ate a few lunches and dinners in the pub/restaurant, and both the food and the service were quite good.
The hotel is located on a moderately busy main highway in a pretty good section of town, and within short walking distance you can not only find a Starbucks and a large grocery store (I visited the grocery store regularly during each visit to purchase large jugs of spring water for my room, and also berries and fruit for snacks). Also within short walking distance are a wide variety of restaurants, ranging from mainstream American to Asian to Indian and vegan/vegetarian, for starters.
I also found the WiFi service to be totally acceptable. BTW, there is even a laundry room located on premises, and guests can get tokens for use in the laundry room at the front desk.
There is also a pool on premises, and interestingly (at least to me, since I NEVER use the pools at any hotels that offer them), the pool area was always crowded, primarily with families and older folks. I never ceased to be amazed, during any of my stays, at how busy the pool area was!
If and when I might need to stay in the Phoenix/Scottsdale/Tempe area again, I would surely choose to stay in tihs hotel once again!
