Room was a studio with a large bed, sitting area, and kitchenette - very clean and well maintained. The bed was comfortable; room was efficient. Ample space to spread out and ample space to work. Internet access worked fine. This was just an overnight stay, so I really didn't need the kitchenette, but had I needed to stay for any length of time, the kitchenette would have been welcome. Good value for the rate I paid.

I chose this property for my week-long trip to Phoenix since I had two Marriot reward nights I needed to use. I was willing to pay for the other 5 nights.

For the reward points booking done online, I was offered a one-bed-suite. For the other 5 nights, I booked a studio (Rate was $69/night, which is high for peak-summer in Phoenix) For the paid nights, I was hoping for an upgrade since I am a Silver Marriot member and also the fact that I was already checked-in to a one-bed suite. After first two nights, the manager at front desk asked for another $10/night if I wanted to continue in the one-bed suite, else move to a Studio!

I ended up paying $79 / night for 5 nights in peak summer. I guess Manger’s philosophy:: Down economy = try for higher margins from every customer coming your way

I wrote about my experience in a Marriot customer survey request sent to me, but no response.

the good:
the two bedroom suite had a nice layout. one large bedroom with queen bed, a smaller bedroom with queen bed. couch folds out to a queen bed. bathroom sink seperate from tub/toilet. full kitchen apartment size fridge/stove microwave and dishwasher. plates cups silverware dishwasher soap all provided. more like a two bedroom apartment. excellent for an extended stay. three large flat screen tv's, dinin table and chairs. these largewr rooms are located in the corners of the two buildings. 4 windows. wife used the laundry machines and they worked fine. teenager used the gym and it was fine. pool looked clean and people were enjoying it in january.
the bad:
dont plan on eating breakfast there unless you eat like a bird and you like bread. one of the worst breakfast i have ever seen especially from a major chain hotel. plenty of places to eat nearby. located across the freeway from amusement park, which had a concert late at night, yes you could hear it for free in the room. this hotel is two buildings seperated by a parking lot. they had one ice machine located in the office. byo ice bucket because they dont have any. for just over 100 dollars a night you get lots of room if you need it.

I have stayed at this hotel for two years while on business in Phoenix. I stayed in a studio suite and wasn't disappointed with anything. The room was clean and spacious and had a sofa where i could watch tv without having to be on the bed. The hotel staff is very friendly and accommodating and the hotel is close to the mall and several restaurants. it's also located directly off the freeway which made it easy to find. The only things that could use improvement is the breakfast selection. Their sister hotel (Springhill Suites) located next door has a much better selection.
