5/5 - Excellent

Every person working there with which we had contact, was very courteous and helpful. Even though we wore the clothing of their opposing team.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

It’s not a bad place. It’s off to the side so no one can come up on the property without someone realizing it. The desk staff were amazing. But I would def do a sweep of your room before you bunk down for the night.

4/5 - Good

Arrive early to find parking or park at a park and ride and use the light rail. The light rail is free to ride if you have a ticket to a game.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Watching the Coyotes play hockey is also time well spent and fun. The arena and the development around the arena are great to visit.
