I took 10 high school students and another adult to a student leadership convention at a nearby high school. We had reservations for 5 rooms. After 15 years of taking students to this particular convention (held at different places around Arizona), I can easily say The Quality Inn & Suies at Talavi is one of the best motels we've been in!
Reservations: Easy to make
Check-in: Everything was ready for us, no hassle at all
Rooms: Large, well-appointed. In each room: TV, microwave, refrigerator, iron, ironing board, coffee maker, hair dryer. All of this was extremely important when traveling with high school students - and everything worked! Room temperature is easily manipulated so you will be comfortable.
Cleanliness: Superb! I noticed a small stain on the carpet, but the only reason I noticed it was that I dropped an earring and had to get down on the floor to find it - that's when I noticed the stain.
Complimentary breakfast: Wow - even some protein items for diabetics (NOT usually part of a free continental breakfast). Bagels, pastries, cereal, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, toast, coffee, juices, and waffles. Breakfast served 6-9am so it fits most everyone's travel schedule. TV in the breakfast room.
Staff: VERY friendly and accommodating! Traveling with students can be pretty stressful, but the staff here made it so much nicer!
Beds/Sheets: This has to be one of the most comfortable motel beds I've ever slept on - and the sheets smooth and fresh.
Location: Quality Inn & Suites at Talavi is right on Bell Road ... near shopping, pharmacy, fast food restaurants and sit-down restaurants.
Pool/Spa: We didn't use either so I can't comment on that.
Free WiFi: They were having problems with the WiFi and were attempting to get it fixed. Connection was easy and strong, but after awhile it would drop and I'd have to disconnect and then connect again. That was frustrating, but I still got my work done ... and they are aware of the problem.
Recommendation: I will definitely stay here again should the need arise. Our two-night stay was a real pleasure!
