I was very suprised at check in to see an box stating a $1.50 fee for the in-room safe. I have stayed at hotels all over this country and internationally and never been charged to the In-room safe. The amount is not the issue, just the separate fee. This may be a Choice Hotel Corporate policy, just ALWAYS check what they are charging for.

Thanks to Cathy for helping us out. We had a bad experience at a hotel downtown and they checked us in right away. (10 am) We spent 3 days here. Breakfast was good, no syrup for the waffles was the only thing I could see as a minor blip. Room was large, bed was comfortable.
Two tv's in the room, they were small but we were not there to watch tv. Nice indoor pool and outdoor hot tub. The Hotel is close to the mall and plenty of restaurants.

Stayed here for a family event in nearby Mesa. Didn't realize that it was at least a 30 minute drive from Mesa and the family gave me a hard time about that...until we arrived at the hotel and they saw how nice it was and how comfortable and spacious their rooms were.

Loved the indoor pool, especially since an outdoor pool would have been too hot in August. Since we brought our two teenagers, it was great that we could have one queen bed, our daughter the other queen bed, and our son the sofa bed.

We brought our two little dogs with us and the hotel staff welcomed them, too!

I booked a room here only 10 days before I arrived (I had a family memorial service to attend), and was very pleased with every aspect of this hotel! I was very happy to get a AAA rate for less than $60.00 per night (this is the "low" season in Phoenix).

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was very pleased when I was able to check in just before noon on the day I arrived.

I have some trouble walking/standing for long periods of time, so I requested a handicap accessible room. It was perfect-the large bathroom and walk-in shower were wonderful! There was also an abundance of nice toiletries and lots of towels! The beds were a bit high but very comfortable with lots of pillows!

The room also had a microwave and mini-refrigerator which was greatly appreciated! There was also a safe and iron/ironing board, and coffee maker with lots of coffee. The AC worked great and was adjustable (very important in Phoenix in August!)

There was also a computer for guests' use in the lobby, as well as fruit, coffee and newspapers.

I loved the complimentary breakfast. It included hot foods (eggs, bacon, sausage), as well as bagels, English muffins and pastries. There are two waffle makers, as well as several kinds of cereal and beverages to choose from.

I wasn't too concerned with the location since I was with family and friends during the day; I just wanted to be around the Metro Center area. Just across the parking lot there is a Sweet Tomatoes restaurant (yummy!) and it looked like there were a few other restaurants fairly close to the hotel, including an Outback Steak House. The hotel is located right off of I-17, although the entrance is a couple of blocks off of the freeway. My room was located near the freeway side, but I could barely hear the traffic; it didn't bother me at all.

I had a very pleasant experience here and would definitely stay here again!
