"The Courtyard Phoenix West/Avondale was my home away from home last weekend when I was in the area for a concert.\n\nCheck in was easy but understanding the check in clerk was not. Slow down, dude. I know it's old hat to you and you can probably recite the amenities in your sleep (and I love your accent but not when you speak so fast!) but your guests need to know and understand what we're paying for. You said breakfast is served during a certain time period but then you quickly mentioned something about $9.95. And happy hour. You've got happy hour, I like that. But it's not complimentary, is it? You don't say that but why even mention it. It was all very confusing to me and my girls. We got up to our room, looked at each other and all said, \"What?\"\n\nWe had a basic room with 2 beds but it was very nice and comfortable. Beds were lovely, the cute and comfy chair and ottoman were great and I love a room with a little fridge. I don't understand why all hotels don't offer mini refrigerators. Good thing I brought a blow dryer because this hotel doesn't have them in the bathrooms.\n\nSuper bonus points for having several make up removal towelette in the bathroom!! My girls and I L.O.V.E.D. that little bonus! This hotel also offers complimentary hot coffee, hot water and tea bags in the foyer in front of the elevators.\n\nWe decided to try the happy hour on our way out before catching a taxi for the concert and were directed to a meeting room. Apparently the \"restaurant\" and bar are under construction and set up in a meeting room for limited hours. Ummm, awkward. We weren't feeling the vibe although the bartender was really nice to us. It just felt really weird and conventiony. \n\nI sound whiny and bitchy but truth be told, I enjoyed my stay here and look forward to staying at this convenient location when I'm back up here in October for another concert."^^ . .
