My company booked me into the ESA on E Oak because of the low cost. They paid $60/night. Sign out front when I checked in said "rooms from $35.
Desk clerk was very accommodating and put me in an "executive King corner room" - the biggest and best. King bed, Pull out sofa bed, desk; tiny but adequate bath room with tub/shower (good water pressure) and separate sink vanity area. There were no amenities other than tiny soap bars and tissues - no shampoos, etc. Kitchen was minimal with 2 burner cook top, small microwave, and full size refrig., 4 cup coffee maker with coffee packs on demand; table and two chairs. Kitchen utensils were minimal. TV with Dish cable service (2 Showtime movie channels). They did not offer any even marginal breakfast. "Fitnes Center" was a tiny room with a treadmill and exercise bicycle. Swimming pool was tiny. pay laundry on site. Can't beat the location if you have business near the airport or on that side of town - just across from a shopping center with Costco, Fry's, Target, and chain restaurants. I have to admit that I was comfortable and the accommodations served my purpose - but for $60/night you can probably do better. For a little more you can stay at the Marriott Residence Inn just a bit south of here - and I would certainly opt for that if my wife was traveling with me.

Our reason for being in Phoenix was for our father having heart surgery at Banner Good Samaritan. The hotel had a nice exterior and well lit parking area. Our rooms were roomy, clean and suited our needs very well for the price. Staff was very courteous and helpful. We definately recommend for families who need a hotel when they have family members at the hospital.

The extended stay concept is what it is. If you set your expectations reasonably, then this is a great property. The rooms are modern, clean and quiet. The kitchen is fully equipped (the only exception is a cooking stove -- only a stovetop and microwave). The airport shuttle is a big help. Staff were friendly if a bit harried.

If I had to complain (but I don't), then I would say the desk area is a bit cramped and the water pressure in the shower was a bit weak. But those are modest issues. (There is also a one-time $4 fee for Internet access, which is obnoxious but not a dealbreaker.)

Probably the biggest annoyance is the lack of a translucent inner shade for the window. If you want any privacy then you need to pull the drapes closed and forego sunlight.

I was only there for three nights, but it still made total sense in terms of price and service.

The Route 44 bus stops right in front of the hotel, which can connect with Phoenix' widespread (but very slow) mass transit system. There is a mall with a full supermarket, Sears and Costco only a block away.

Bottom line: Cheap, clean, quiet, accessible. But no frills of any kind. Again, if you understand the concept, then this is a great property.

Right from check-in I was impressed. The staff was warm and personable and check-in went very smoothly. Once we got to our room, I continued to be impressed with the room. It was very clean. I always pay special attention to the floors as I like to walk bare foot and the floors to the bathroom and kitchen were very clean. Also the rugs were well vacuumed. The linen on the bed were very white and smelled fresh which is very important to me. The kitchen area had all the amenities that it claimed and they were well taken care of. I really liked the ability to watch TV from either bed or from the sitting area and so did my husband. Also, having the convenience of the complimentary shuttle to the airport was fabulous! All-in-all, we immensely enjoyed our stay and will happily book here again and again. Keep up the good work ESA!!!
