| - This review is for 06/11/2011. I haven't been far from home in a long time and being in Phoenix got my mind jump started. Yes, I love Los Angeles, but with Phoenix or Arizona, in general, a lot of the stress was off of me. Time to get some rest at the Super 8 Metro North.
The location of Super 8 is on the west side of the 17 Freeway and on the intersection of Northern and Black Canyon Highway. It is located next to a K-Mart and I forgot which other hotel/motel. The entrance to the motel is a little complicated since its on a way one way street. There are staff members on-call if you do arrive late which I was. You'll have to use the night window since I guess its a safety issue or an area issue.
I checked in and the process was pretty fast since my reservation was already on file. Just gave my ID and Credit Card for any incidental charges. I was assigned Room #245 which was located on the corner upstairs, and overlooking the pool. I got to my room and it was a nice, decent room. I didn't see much of any defects or major problems. It was home for just a day.
The first thing I did when I got to my room...GET SOME ICE. It was 80 degrees in the late night/early morning. Geez...I knew then that it was going to be a very hot day. The hotel has a dedicated room for ice vending with soda and snack machines. There was supposed to be a lock on it for Members only, but, apparently, it was broken and anyone can walk in. This location also provides Free Wi-Fi and I was able to write just one review from my room. A Yelp Commitment!!
I rarely used my room since I was in and out a lot. I took a shower when it did get hot, but the heat in Phoenix was different. 100+ temperatures was not even hot. If you go to Los Angeles, it is unbearable. I am starting to love Phoenix. The television is not bad, but I am not expecting to be having a flatscreen anyways. The basic toiletries (soap, shampoo, and etc.) are provided. Plus, they have a lot of towels. Its either from all the sweat you made or all the time you spent in water.
I had an amazing time in Phoenix and I hope to come back again. I have never felt so damn relaxed in a long time. I checked out late Sat/early Sunday morning and I felt like I was already home. I have a bunch of other reviews to write about and you'll have to connect the dots on my reviews. I am home and I am on the works to find my way back to Phoenix.
