| - I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and it was great. The only reason I'm giving this hotel 4 out of 5 stars is for decor. If they had gone just a little above and beyond the average hotel look, it would absolutely be a 5 star.
Upon arrival the bellman pulled all my luggage from the cab and gave me a 30 second intro to the hotel, including pool, internet, and restuarant info. I was greeted promptly by the front desk and checked-in.
My room was great. Nice big bed, clean bathroom, flat screen tv, but just a plain room. No decorative flair, something that I'd expect in a brand new hotel. The gym was FANTASTIC with brand new equipment, weight machines, free weights and mats/balls. The pool was beautiful too.
The restaurant was pretty good. While the food was good, nothing memorable and the uniforms that the servers and hosts wear are terrible. However, the service was great and everyone was friendly. One of my favorite parts of the hotel was the lobby because you can get a drink while you're hanging out. As soon as you sit down, the server would come take your order.
I held meetings here for three days and the catering, executive meetings, and AV staff were absolutely fantastic. They made sure everything ran smoothly and were quick to problem solve. They are probably one of the best groups that I've ever worked with.
My least favorite part about this hotel (besides the lack of decor) was their taxi/town car service. They only have town cars sitting in their bay, not metered taxis. I went to Tempe one night to see a friend and the town car driver tried to charge me $39 for one way! ABSURD! The next night, going to the same location, I walked across the street and hailed a regular cab and the same right was $29, still pricey, but more reasonable.
I'll be coming back here for another meeting in February. I have no doubts that it will be fantastic.
