Hyatt Place Phoenix / Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean and was spacious enough for 5 dudes to hang out and sleep in. There was a sofa couch in our room and 2 beds. Large window with lots of natural lighting. Sometimes staff was not around, especially early in the morning. There's a bar on the ground floor and some snacks / coffee for purchase. Would stay again next time."
