I stayed here on my most recent annual trip to Phoenix with my dad for some Spring Training baseball, and since it was just the two of us there for some sports, we weren't really all that picky in terms of having a really luxurious hotel -- just somewhere to sleep and, with any luck, not be mugged or propositioned by a prostitute. That said, this Super 8 actually surprised me with just how nice it was. It's clearly not a super upscale part of town, but it's not the ghetto I was expecting either -- and as a 24-year-old female, that did wonders for how secure I felt. The exterior was nice, there was a security guard in the lobby but it didn't seem that he was really all that needed, and even though it was pretty late when we checked in (caught a night game before we went to the hotel), we were warmly welcomed. The breakfast was about what would be expected -- mini bagels, danishes, cereal and toast -- but there's a Waffle House just up the street that had as much artery-clogging goodness as we could want. We didn't use the pool at all, and honestly I didn't even notice it -- so I'm assuming it was pretty small. The free wireless internet was a great perk, and helped with finding restaurants or checking baseball schedules while we were there.

The biggest thing this hotel has going for it is the location -- it's just off I-10 (...obviously...), which connects to the 101 Loop just a few miles to the west and I-17 just a few miles to the east, which makes it easy to get just about anywhere pretty easily. If you're going for baseball, this place is ideal -- just a short trip to the ballparks on the west side (Peoria, Surprise, Glendale, Goodyear, and literally about four minutes to Maryvale, which, if you haven't visited, GO -- it's amazing!), but still a quick trip to the ones on the east side too via the interstate. There were a bunch of other guests there for the same reason we were, so it was fun to share experiences with complete strangers over a danish every morning. I'll definitely plan to stay here again on future baseball trips.

With regard to local motels in this few blocks, this is a top notch motel! :)
I was VERY pleased with the modern look and feel of this property, and the rooms had every thing I wanted, from a coffee maker, refrigerator, and microwave, to shampoo! :)
Large TV with cable also in room. Clean room overall, room in good repair, no bugs or rodent tracks or trails. I recommend this motel for families, getaways, and elderly travelers to!

Our family of five stayed at four different hotels during our spring break trip to AZ in April, 2007. This was leg one of our journey.

We booked this hotel simply as a quick, no frills, two night stay visiting relative before heading off to the Grand Canyon. This hotel shares a drivway with a KMart, which was convenient for family stuff.

This hotel was a little scary to check in at 10pm but there seemed to be adequate police presence in the area. There is no elevator to the second floor, all hallways are exterior, and they don't supply cots, nor was there room for one anyhow. The room had a slightly dirty feel and it was worn (scuff marks on the walls, paint missing in a patch in the bathroom) but overall it was adequate, and cheap for a couple of nights.

On the good side, it has a nice pool area and it is located nearby to many Phoenix attractions. Castles and Coasters is nearby, and the Village Restaurant (located in Kmart's parking lot.) Water pressure was good.

Booked through Travelcity and received confirmation quote of $49.99 per night, but when we checked in the rate was $54.99 per night and I was charged 14% tax. I do not know if the tax percentage is even correct but when you don't live in that area and are checking out there isn't much you can do. this is the second time I have had this experience booking with Travelocity so maybe the problem with rate difference if something they should work on.
