I'm not sure if this is my first hotel review but this has to be one of my favorite hotels. I got humble roots so I am wow-ed by the St. Regis' Astor Suites and bored by the stuffiness of the Ritz Carltons. I sorta want a hotel to look like what I remember hotels to be: like a Howard Johnson's from Mad Men sherbet scene but not so orange.
So this place looks like what I conceive a hotel to be but for some reason, the rooms are ABSURDLY spacious. It's like a suite at the Venetian, probably bigger but with a bunch of space, designated work desks, designated sitting area, and a nice designated area shielded away for the bed. And a generic shower & bathroom designed for utility alone. It was absolutely not what I was expecting.
The place is super clean too. Check-in and check-out, a breeze. The flat screens by the elevators had some satisfaction guarantee thing going on with an agenda to be the best Hyatt Place in America or whatever... I'm not sure how it stacks up with other Hyatt Places but if all Hyatt Places are created equal then I'm switching my SPG allegiances.
Stay here in Arizona, it's a 5 min drive away from the big cities and it is a solid, solid hotel.
