This was a decent best western, but there are things that make it lose points in the review. It does technically have a shuttle from the airport, but this is not a best western shuttle, its a shuttle for offsite parking that BW contracts put to which means you are always going to be the last stop for drop off. The shuttle driver was incredibly kind, so its not the biggest problem, but an annoyance.
The actual rooms are detached from the hotel lobby/breakfast and are all outdoor facing. Because of this, and as it is an airport hotel, people are coming and going at all hours. And the doors do not have a good seal, so you are definitely hearing the cars, car doors, luggage rolling by, and the light shines through the bottom (see picture).
The inner safety lock wasn't properly attached to the door (see video). This is an easy fix with some screws and time, but it begs the question: why isn't it fixed? Also, the toilet paper roll holder was broken and did not hold the roll - it fell out twice when I was using it (see other video)
As this is an airport hotel, you are inevitably going to hear plans, but man if this hotel is not on the flight path directly. It kid of sucked, as previously stated, there was no soundproofing, so the planes were pretty constant and disruptive the whole night.
Saturday breakfast hours were only until 9 am which is crazy to me that weekends wouldn't have later hours.
On the plus side, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was very clean with the standard amenities. It did have a pool, I have no comments on it as I did not utilize it. The vending machines, located only in the lobby area, were woefully sold out of drinks. I'm not sure BW is to blame for that as often vending machines are owned and operated by independent contractors. Regardless, whoever is in charge needs to fill more frequently.
If your flying into Phoenix for a quick overnight and can sleep through disruptive noise, this hotel is not a bad option. I used points, but i believe that even without points its pretty affordable. But if you can, I'd recommend staying elsewhere.
