Perfect location. I like the farmers market on Saturdays
Pros:

Conveniently located in the middle of everything.
Restaurants, convention center, sports facilities and theaters.

I enjoyed the farmers market which happens outside the hotel every Saturday morning. It has affordable breakfast options and fresh fruits.

If we ever have a need or desire to stay in that part of Phoenix, AZ, we’d definitely stay there again.
Pros:

The property was clean, modern & well-maintained. The outdoor patio area was uniquely decorated. The parking ramp was very close to the hotel. Check-in was straightforward and easy. The entire place was very quiet. Every hotel worker we came in contact with was polite, courteous & professional.

Cons:

The room was so modern there was no artwork anywhere in the room. No coffee or coffee pot. No clock radio/alarm.

Great location, but lacking
Pros:

Great location. Lobby smelled great. They had lavender satchels available for the guests. The rooms were stylish.

Cons:

There was hair that did not belong to me in the shower and on the towels. The shower drain was taken apart and the caulking of the shower leaked all over the floor. That is a hazard.

Get the breakfast 😋
Pros:

Matthias and Theresa who ran breakfast every morning were absolutely the best! Every morning greeting us cheerfully and serving us breakfast. Actually , the whole staff (front desk, cleaning crew) at the AC is what makes this place special .
