We got a handicap room which worked out great because we can to Tempe for race and had a big bike box with us. The wider walkway made moving it easier. The room was nice and clean when we arrived. The only issue was with housecleaning. They did not make up the other double bed because we bought our own pillows and one time had an article of clothing. In the past and all of the other hotels we have stayed at this has never been an issue. Also, on the first day, there was no body wash in the dispenser. Otherwise stay was great and convenient to what our plans were.

What made this hotel night a slight nightmare was something that may not have been 100% controllable the first time. The second and third time the fire alarm went off(unnecessarily) was absolutely not ok. Around 12 am in the hallways. Then 2 more times IN room. It was horribly loud ear piercing jolting you awake. We left at 7 am. Upon check out no Manager was on duty and no compensation was offered. But honestly im not sure what could have made us feel better.

The main issues with our first room on the second floor was the bathroom glass barn door wasn’t installed correctly causing the door to stick, hard to move and jump out of the track. Also the charging outlets in the center bedside table didn’t work. We were transferred to another room which was much better in regards to these two items. To turn off the accent lights under the bench we had to unplug them.
