| - after a life of work travel that usually include stays at such interesting & luxurious hotels as Embassy Suites, I have been pleasantly surprised with hip boutique hotels on my last couple of trips. this one definitely fits that bill!
they've got the modern retro thing down to an art. the lobby, pool, guest rooms, etc. all ooze that hipster vibe. I'd agree with other reviews that is is not QUITE luxe-- some bumpy execution of things like paint jobs & chepay fixtures. but overall it is a GREAT place to stay & definitely affordable-- same price as the aforementioned Embassy Suites, but with a lot more character!
love love love the pool & enormous Jacuzzi. the whole pool area is super inviting.
restaurant attached to the hotel, Gallo Blanco, has great breakfast & a happening happy hour & dinner rush. very accomodating to vegans- not a ton of options, but they will work with you! cocktails are tasty.
people come from far & wide (apparently) to watch the sunset on the rooftop. better wear a wedding ring, ladies, if you do not want to get macked on. bring your bevs & munchies from Gallo Blanco!
speaking of munchies, love the FREE "midnight snack" service they have. although I did not avail myself, I love the concept :0
tiny little gym, but it gets the job done.
hope I have to come back to PHX again soon...
