Visitor Reviews:

After you check in at the lobby, arm yourself with a compass in an attempt to find your room. Unlike most Embassy Suites properties that are located in a multi story building, with an open atrium, this one has multiple two to three story buildings that are configured in a maze like configuration. There is no logical order to the alpha labeling of the buildings, and trying to find an elevator will be initially daunting. The breakfast/happy hour dining room is somewhat dated, but the guest rooms appeared to have been recently renovated. Our bath room was extremely small. One improvement could be the installation of digital thermostats in each room. When we stayed there, from 1/18 to 1/21, the nights in Phoenix were very; very cold and new thermostats could have regulated the heat better than leaving the heater on all night (which is rather loud).
One big plus is that the hotel will shuttle you to and from the Sky Harbor Airport. In fact, after we landed at the airport, their normal shuttle driver was out on a run, but the hotel contracted with a very high end car vendor to pick up our family of five. The driver arrived within minutes of our phone call in a new, shiny black SUV that was fully loaded with leather and all the amenities, and a driver dressed in a black suite. The hotel covered the entire cost.

All of our overnight guests receive Embassy Suites’ famous complementary Cooked-to-Order Breakfast as well as our complementary Manager’s Reception daily - a fantastic way to start your day and even a better way to end it. Keep your days full of enjoyment and relaxation at many other nearby attractions:

Visitor Review:

I’ve stayed at hotel numerous occasions over the past 12 years. I’ve noted in the tripadvisor review several comments concerning “needs renovation”. Truth be told I am not the one to obsess over faded drapes, or patched in the wall paper. I’m most concerned with cleanliness, convenience, comfort. However hotels, with heavy usage and guest expectations, need regular renovations so I managed to stay in a recently renovated room on this past trip to Arizona.

Outside there is not much indication of the renovations. The lobby how has one of those ubiquitous checkin/out kiosks, and there is a general refurbishment of the common area furniture. The breakfast/reception bar looks about the same. The renovations to the rooms have been extensive. There is a less cluttered, more dramatic look to the sitting room, bathroom and bedroom. Like many other upper scale brands, upgraded bedding covers bedspreads, body pillows head pillows. The bathroom features higher end shampoo/conditioner/ soaps/lotion. Towels are discreetly stored in a shelf underneath the sink along with hairdryer and toilet paper, so that the walls are more open clear of the inevitable towel rack. Sitting room decor, as with the entire room, features more dark paneled wood trim furniture with an upgraded business desk with a convenient power/internet outlet. A pull out sofa bed remains in the sitting room, making this attractive for families. The rather large pool (30-35′ long) with an adjacent compact jacuzzi hot tub remain as during previous stays.
