This hotel is off the beaten path, and yes, it's basically right next to the airport, but we had a really great stay here and enjoyed the updated hotel very much. We sometimes stay up in PHX for a night when we head up that way for concerts from Tucson and we are always looking for a good hotel deal. The only thing we were bummed about with this hotel is that the pool was closed when we got back from the show and we couldn't enjoy it on the hot night we stayed in town. From this hotel we took and uber or lyft and it cost about $8 to get downtown. I didn't happen to notice any airplane noise, and had a great night of sleep. I would definitely stay here again if we came back to PHX for more events!
