I would recommend the DoubleTree in Gilbert as a place to stay in the Phoenix area. It is a great location close to SanTan VIllage (where there are many nice places to eat and shop) and the people working at the Doubletree are always friendly. The bartender remembered our drink order from the previous year. The front office manager went to the trouble of calling and then sending a pair of earrings I left in our room. The only drawback I can see is the size of the pool area. The pool itself is nice and clean but the walled in area around the pool is small.
