What is the appearance of the hotel? Check the entrance and reception

IMG_1114.jpg – 2019-11-14T175330.843

The hotel was a grand building.

IMG_1114.jpg – 2019-11-14T175334.095

The name of the hotel is written on the building, and the logo “R” stands out.

IMG_1114.jpg – 2019-11-14T175509.605

The hotel was lit up at night.

IMG_1114.jpg – 2019-11-14T175340.204

A spacious drive-in.

IMG_1114.jpg – 2019-11-14T175026.635

There is a sofa at the entrance, so you can relax while waiting for the car.

IMG_1114.jpg – 2019-11-14T175328.905

The lobby had a high ceiling and it was very spacious.

IMG_1114.jpg – 2019-11-14T175326.055

There was a water area, and at first glance the walls like rock climbing are decorated along the elevator from the first floor, and somewhat like an adult theme park.

IMG_1114.jpg – 2019-11-14T175616.747

The lobby was atrium, and the whole hotel looked like a hollow!

IMG_1114.jpg – 2019-11-14T175337.239

There were several counters at the front desk, and I realized that it was a big hotel.

A welcome fruit at the front desk.

What is the One Bed Room Suite King Bed Room like?

IMG_1114.jpg – 2019-11-14T175150.357

My room was on the second floor corner.

IMG_1115.jpg (2)

There was a living room right after entering through the door. The floor was carpet, but it was spacious and clean, so I could walk around barefoot.

IMG_1115.jpg (28)

There were big sofas and a table in the living room.

IMG_1115.jpg (8)

There was a desk and a TV at the back of the living room.

IMG_1115.jpg (15)

There were drawers under the TV.

IMG_1115.jpg (27)

There was a dining table with two chairs by the window. I used my computer at this table.

IMG_1115.jpg (13)

There was a bedroom at the far back.

IMG_1115.jpg (11)

In the hallway leading to the bedroom, there was a counter with a sink, and coffee was prepared here.

IMG_1115.jpg (17)

The bedroom was spacious and I could see the the bathroom through a glass window.

IMG_1115.jpg (3)

The bed was king size so it was big and I could sleep comfortably. There was a boiler next to the room, but it was quiet. The curtains were blackout curtains, so I could sleep very well.

IMG_1115.jpg (21)

There were bedside tables on both sides of the bed, and a breakfast menu for room service was placed along with a telephone and an alarm.

IMG_1115.jpg (24)

There was a TV and a desk across the bed.

IMG_1115.jpg (22)

Drawers under the TV.

IMG_1115.jpg (9)

The double curtain was stylish and it matched the design and color of the carpet. The TV was in front of the window, so some may think that it is blocking the view.

IMG_1115.jpg (25)

Unfortunately, the view from the room was only of boilers. At the back, I could see the ceiling of the large Arizona Cardinals dome.

In the shower room, shampoo, conditioner and body soap were prepared. It was a brand called AVEDA and it felt nice on my hair and skin.

There is also a bar lounge called “Rei” on the 1st floor, and many people went to socialize. When I came home from the outside and got on the elevator, I was told by my husband’s colleague who was drinking beer there, and I had a drink. Since it was on the route to the elevator, it was a casual space.

IMG_1115.jpg (4)

On Sunday, when there was an NFL game, so many people wore team uniforms from the morning, and DJs played music in the back ground creating a nice atmosphere.

The hotel has an outdoor heated pool that was available from 6am to 10pm. Because it was in the back of the building, there were not many people swimming in it, and there was also a private time zone.

IMG_1115.jpg (10)

There were chairs by the pool, so it felt more for grown ups.

IMG_1115.jpg (9)

There was also a bar on the pool side, and people were enjoying drinks as soon as it opened.

IMG_1115.jpg (12)

There is also an indoor pool which was available from 6.30 am to 10.30 pm. It was a high quality pool.

Hotel surroundings

The city around the hotel was safe. As soon as you leave the hotel and cross the pedestrian crossing to the left, there is a large outlet mall, the right side of the hotel is a mall with hockey venues and bar restaurants, and the Cardinals dome and access to the back are perfect. There was no need to call Uber or a taxi, or even to open a map on a mobile phone. I enjoyed shopping and going to the bars and restaurants. I didn’t go to the game this time, but it was a game day, so I enjoyed the atmosphere and attractions in front of the venue. However, there are no convenience stores around the hotel where you can buy small items. It is difficult to buy beer and midnight snacks without getting in a car.

IMG_1115.jpg (29)

TANGER OUTLET is three minutes away from the hotel! There were many shops.

IMG_1115.jpg (28)

Next to the hotel was the Westgate with bars and restaurants.

Staff and guests

The bellman was friendly and helpful and opened the door every time I passed by. The front staff were also professional. The housekeeper helped me find something that I had forgotten in the room, which was very kind of her.

Since there was a student baseball tournament, Atlanta and Arizona fans who were interested in the game were staying around the day before the NFL game on the weekend, with the people involved, their families, players, and the weekend. The bars below were crowded with fans for the game on weekends.

Access

It is about 30 minutes away from Phoenix International Airport. This time I took a long-distance bus from Orange County’s Westminster area to Arizona, but this was also one of the final stops at this hotel, where hockey and football venues are located. It was personally more convenient than flying by plane.

Summary

This hotel was very high-class and it was entertaining. Especially during the week I stayed, there was an NFL game, so on weekends, especially on the first floor, DJs played music from the morning, and in the bar everyone was wearing team uniforms and enjoying pre-game drinks. I was able to have a good time. This time I was able to upgrade with a focus on a larger room than the higher floors, and there was a bathtub with a large jacuzzi. Arizona is already in the fall and winter, but it was still close to 40 degrees outside during the day, and I was grateful that I could go to restaurants and shop in just a few minutes from the hotel. Weeks with games and hockey are sometimes twice or three times as expensive, but days with nothing happening are often under $200. When I hear the name Arizona, I get a strong image of hotels at Phoenix and Sedona, but this is a hotel that I highly recommend.
