Great location and price, just didn’t sleep well due to lots of external and internal noise. There were a few people just loitering around outside of the hotel which made me feel a little uncomfortable staying and parking there. Probably just a Phoenix thing.

Lady on reception was lovely. Room was clean with a comfortable bed. Towels were tiny. No coffee available anywhere. The area didn’t feel safe. The door frame in our room had obviously been broken and not replaced so could easily have been broken into again. Very noisy with traffic and homeless.
