Fantastic Resort
There are so many resorts to choose from in Phoenix, and many of them very affordably priced over the summer when it is H-O-T in Arizona! While I can't speak to the quality of other hotels in the area, we truly enjoyed our short stay here and would gladly recommend the hotel.
Rooms are comfortable and quite spacious: we stayed in a 1-bedroom king suite, which was more than enough space for two people. Upon entry, you'll be in the living room area, with a loveseat, coffee table, flat-screen TV, desk, coffeemaker, and mini-fridge. From there you walk through the bathroom area (the sink is out in the open, the toilet/shower have another door), which was a large enough space stocked with plush towels (it's the little things that make a difference!) and Peter Thomas Roth toiletries. From there, we had a bedroom with king bed, dresser, and another TV as well as a doorway to a small balcony that had two vinyl chairs and a small table, presumably for drinks. For the two of us, it was more space than we needed, and I'd imagine a 2 queen bed room would work nicely for families even on longer stays. One thing to mention...to me, the appeal to a suite is the ability for someone to sleep in an enclosed room while someone else is in the living area watching TV, doing work, etc. However, when you shut the door between the bedroom and living room, it's interesting to note that the bathroom is on the bedroom side of the doors. If the awake person needs to shower or use the bathroom, having the light on will most likely disrupt anyone sleeping. It would make more sense (to me) to have the divider on the other side of the bathroom, easily accessible from the living area.
