NOT a fan of North PHX.. not this area off of the 17..it's shady and not the best area. AS in.. you wouldnt venture out late at nite here. BUT this hotel is a good save. I had the penthouse via a friend. Loved it. Fridge..micro..full cooking facilities.. an upstairs and a downstairs with 2 baths and bedrooms.. completely made my stay in PHX this week a good, happy thing. The gym stinks tho. One treadmill and some weights. A full service hotel needs more than that. We were sent down the way to La Fitness for a complimentary workout. My room had a broken coffee maker, but that was quickly fixed. Has to be.. I cant live without my coffee. Front desk is nice. Offered us discounts to happy hour next door at Bobby Q's ... Good breakfast in the morning.. but managers reception is only 2 nites a week.. which is kind of strange.
