So this is not a new hotel by any stretch and it is not fancy. Probably could use some renovation and it's in a pretty rough part of town. Some if not all of the guests would not fit into the posh Scottsdale resorts.
So having said all that, this is probably our go to spot when staying in Phoenix. Although not fancy it is nice enough and clean enough. For a large family it's also the best value. For just over $100 a night most times you get a large suite, large pool for the kids, two hour free cocktail time in the evening (very nice), and excellent free breakfasts. The cocktail time and breakfast alone are worth $100 easily for our gang.
