I went to Phoenix for a one-day meeting. This holiday Inn Express was the only hotel near the airport that offered the government rate, which I have to get for business travel. It was a basic room, almost dormitory style furniture (desk, closet, chair), but the bed was comfy. bathroom was clean. I checked in around 8 p.m. and left at 7:15 a.m. It was suitable for what I needed. Check-in was quick and staff was pleasant.
