I stayed in Pheonix for the first time on a 7-day business trip. This hotel is CLEAN and the rooms appear to have been redone within the past 12-18 months. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet.

Property is right on the light rail and I used it or the hotel's free shuttle to get everywhere I wanted to go.

What make this place is the staff. All shifts and all departments were all smiles all the time. Better service than I've received at twice the price.

I was first given a handicap accessible room with an adjoining door. I went down and explained I just don't like adjoining rooms and the clothing rack was too low for my clothes to hang without touching the floor. No problem; changed rooms with a smile. Ride to the convention center at the last minute? No problem.

The area is NOT dangerous or scary but There is no view to speak of. There is a BurgerKing on one side and an IHOP on the other but there was no cooking smell outside (surprising). The area is clean.

If there is a downside its the excersice room: clean and 2 new treadmills but no elliptical and weight machine offered very limited options (no lat pulls, curls, etc).

Right on the highway. Quiet, clean, nice staff, breakfast included. This was just an overnight stop over and it was perfect for that. Definitely priced right with a nice breakfast offering hot items as well as normal continental selections.

We stayed here for a week with a good coupon rate. The location worked great for us. We had a room with a king size bed, desk, fridge, microwave and a comfortable chair with a foot rest on the top floor facing North. The room itself was a little on the small side, but comfortable.We could park our car under our window, the lot was well lit. The breakfast had quite a bit of variety and the area was pleasant and clean.
We were told the pool would be heated but it was not. The hot tub was fine.
The staff was helpful and great to talk to. The only negative thing we had to mention was a very inconsiderate janitor.

When a serendipitious opportunity arose to spend a little time in Phoenix with my fiance', who is stationed out-of-state, after his one-day task assignment at Luke Air Force Base, I scrambled to put together a flight and a last-minute stay. I selected this particular hotel because I trust Marriott properties and the Fairfield Inn Phoenix North seemed conveniently located between the base and the areas of Phoenix we wanted to explore in our 24 hours together.

I arrived earlier than anticipated, but Sue, the assistant GM, welcomed me like family and went to great lengths to ensure that I could check in right away, even though it was before check-in time. I'm sure she and the housekeeping staff had to go to some measure of trouble to do so, but her professionalism and charming personality kept me from feeling like I had inconvenienced anyone.

In reading other reviews, I see that others have commented that the property is not in a very good part of town. I travel extensively and work in the travel industry, and, while it is not in a resort or tourist area, it didn't seem too bad at all. I've definitely stayed in far worse locations, and know that even the nicest of resorts are plagued with vandalism now and then. (A good practice is to never leave valuables in your vehicle, no matter where you are.) The hotel is located within sight of I-17 and Bell Road, and I felt quite safe walking to a nearby Applebee's alone at dusk while waiting for my fiance' to arrive.

Our stay proved to be exceptional, with a clean, quiet room, a complimentary breakfast, friendly, helpful staff and all the amenities one expects with a Marriott property. We'll be back!
