When my wife made this reservation, I cringed!! I have this kinda' wierd thing where I don't like to make reservations at motels/ suites, business hotels..you know what I mean! I like a drive by to make sure that they're not converted motor courts from the 50's and that they're kept in some resemblance of "cared for".
We needed a night in Phoenix, near Sky Harbor Airport, and to my wife (who is usually more particular than I) thought that this place fit the bill.
This was my first experience with Springhill Suites. The location of this particular place is more attuned to business stay instead of leisure, as it was kinda' in a business park. There wasn't too much around it. BUT.. that was the only not so great part!! It was safe, clean everything worked in the room, which was attractive, it didn't smell funky and considering it's location near the airport, it was pretty quiet!! The room was a small suite, as they all are, the TV worked perfectly (it was a traditional, not flat screen) the high speed internet was the plug in type, and it worked very well I know this sounds like I'm grasping for things to write about, but in reality, it's not.. I can think of too many times when free internet either did not work, wasn't free, or was like using an old 14,500 baud modem! The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the shower had great pressure! Pretty darn good!!!
They offer the typical free breakfast, we did not partake as I was jonseing a big plate of Huevos Rancheros, but we did have coffee, which was good, obviously from a clean pot, and the stuff that was out actually looked a lot better than most places.
All in all, I will have absolutely no hesitation staying at another Springhill if this is representative of the quality control that they excercise! The next morning, we went on to catch some Cactus League action and on to Sedona...
