Travel tips
If you’re visiting central Phoenix attractions, plan time for the cluster of museums and gardens within roughly 4 km (Heard Museum, Phoenix Art Museum, Japanese Friendship Garden, Arizona Capitol Museum). For larger outdoor destinations such as Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix Zoo, Papago Park, Camelback Mountain, and South Mountain Park, expect a longer cross-town drive (roughly 14–16 km). Given recurring feedback about room access and room condition, consider checking your key card immediately and doing a quick room inspection upon arrival.
