I like the way your rooms have a kitchen and its very spacious. I also like my room had 2 TV's, so I could watch my own shows and my guest can enjoy their shows. What I dislike, which is not very often when I stay here, the curtain in my room couldn't close all the way. Which some sunlight came through. And had a problem with the living room TV, the remote wouldn't work. I did call down and they switched out the remote, but still wouldn't work. Luckily I was technology savy, I got it to work myself.

Nice hotel

The hotel was great, and the room was huge, but we got a handicap-accessible room. The only thing I didn't like was the tiny bathroom sink for such a big space. The views were amazing; we could see Mill Ave, Phoenix, the bridge, and Tempe Town Lake. From the roof, we could see everything, like the ASU campus and A Mountain. The pool was a bit small, but it was nice, and there's also a nice little gym up there. I didn't hear any noise unless we were outside. The bed was comfortable and I slept well.

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.
