I am a local and often visit the sister hotel and thought I'd give this one a shot. Rates are much cheaper in the summer because who is crazy enough to visit Phoenix this time time of year?

Overall, I happy pretty darn happy with my stay. The place feels more like a close community rather than a hotel. Check in was a breeze and staff was friendly. (Special mention to valet: Dick and Steph). Bed and living room furniture; all comfy.

This location has wonderful choices for dining. I had a wonderful breakfast buffet at Pointe in Tyme. I didn't try any other spot other than the bar at the 21+pool.

Pools aplenty and a water slide. 21 and over pool was nice since many locals come here with their families during the summer.

The only reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5 is I had to call front desk to have a banshee screaming pocket door fixed and there was a low mysterious rumble all night and I couldn't fall asleep for quite a while.
