Central Phoenix Cheap Vacations

Great hotel, good location. Staff was nice and friendly

This hotel’s photos were very misleading. It’s pretty much an old motel that has had a facelift. First impression when you walk in is that old smoke smell that refuses to be covered up. Some of the rooms are entered from a dingy indoor hallway, but many are outside doors facing the pool. The room was clean and mildly updated but was basically cement walls with plaster smeared on them in a pattern. The a/c unit didn’t get exceptionally cool but was fine for October. The room was quite dark even with the few lights on and opening the window didn’t help because it was covered by a tree. I’m really not one to write negative reviews on things like pillows, but they were so thick and lumpy that I slept on a sweatshirt instead. All around, it felt like a budget motel which, while fine, was not what the photos impressed on me when I booked. Another note: the area is anot the best, I wouldn’t feel comfortable staying here solo even just walking from the parking lot into the hotel. Unfortunately, just nature of the area in general, but something to keep in mind. I will say most of the staff was quite friendly, especially those in housekeeping and the restaurant. And it was clean for the most part. Just overall, very different than the impression it gives online which was super frustrating because I felt a little duped.
