gramey Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Ok, we're back from Phoenix. The Radison Hotel Phoenix Airport has definitely undergone a re-furbthis year. I cant comment on whether its worthy of its 3* rating because frankly, we didn't dineat all there, nor try the fitness center. Otherwise, we had no problems with the facilities as they were. Our two Hotwirerooms were very clean as were the public areas of the hotel in general. We really had no complaintsupon checking in or out. The hotel itself is located *just* off of I-10 and shares this location with aHilton Garden, Holiday Inn Express and an Extended Stay. There is also a small Waffle House restaurantwithin walking distance, but not much else. The immediate surrounding area is your typical "office park"zone which is quiet and traffic free on weekends. If you're looking for 'night life' you'll have to driveelsewhere, but the Tempe/University area is due East on University Street(same hotel which the Radisonis on-you cant get lost!) within about a 6-8 minute drive. There are numerous restaurants/barsin that area.The airport shuttle leaves every half hour and its a 5 or 6 minute ride. The business center at the timeof our stay consisted of 2 IBM desktops with corresponding 17" flatscreens and one fax/printer combounit. Its located right next to the front desk but in its own room, and required no ID or room key to access.All in all, I was very pleased, as were my parents-who are pretty picky. In fact, they gave the Radisonan edge over their regular haunt in that area, the Crown Plaza Airport because of the open ambianceof the former. Personally, i think both are a good value for the dollar at this time if you are seekingaccomodations near the airport. Link to comment
