Travel tips
Being just off I-10, the hotel offers easy highway access for driving around the Phoenix-Tempe metro area, though a car or rideshare is useful for reaching attractions like the Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix Zoo, or Camelback Mountain, which are several kilometers away. Guests flying in or out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport can take advantage of the complimentary airport shuttle rather than arranging separate transport. Since some guests have noted noise issues, requesting a room away from busy areas of the hotel or the highway may help ensure a quieter stay.
