The hotel is conveniently located across the tram. We took it to Chase field for a baseball game. Nice and fast ( 8 stops ). Area is very safe with lots of shopping and dining option. The roof top pool was a hit with the kids. Room was clean and very big. Parking in the garage adjacent to the hotel was very convenient. Will stay here again.

The hotel was beautiful and conveniently located. The staff was very helpful. We had an issue our second night, when we returned to our room after a long day out, looking to relax…. We entered the room to find the fire alarm going off in our room. There was a test earlier in the day and the alarm stayed on in our room. We had to wait for almost an hour, and maintenance would not be there until after 10 pm. So we had to switch rooms, which was a huge inconvenience. Our room was given a discount, however it was still frustrating. Additionally, the hot tub didn’t work and the website was not updated to reflect that. We were assured when we checked in, that it would be fixed by the morning and it was not fixed by the time we checked out. A hot tub at the end of a long day would’ve been very nice to enjoy.

I really loved this hotel! The studio-like rooms were cute and equipped with a kitchen with everything I needed, including a big fridge. There was an amazing breakfast every morning, and the location was very walkable. The staff provided exceptional customer service. The only drawback I encountered was with the parking. I wasn't informed about which areas of the parking garage were reserved for hotel guests versus non-guests. Unfortunately, I received a citation for parking in a reserved spot, as I mistakenly assumed it was meant for hotel guests. So, just be cautious about where you park in the garage.

Beds were very and uncomfortably hard to sleep on. Non of us could get a restful night sleep during our whole stay. Love the mini kitchen, so convenient with dishwasher. Everything else was superb, working and clean. Employees were right on the job when something was needing attention. Rooftop pool/hotub/gym/fireplace was great. Beautiful weather and sights at night. However I don’t believe we’ll stay again due to the hard beds.
