When traveling alone I am ok with staying at low cost/you get what you pay for type places for the most part. Unfortunately, this wasn't all that inexpensive, and the stay wasn't all that great. The staff was ok, not overly friendly, but not rude either. The location was ok but there was a lot of traffic noise in the room. The room though had some issues. Big gaps between the door and the frame, stains on the bedspread (the single blanket provided), and small little towels that aren't changed under the pretense of "environmentally friendly" (this place is not alone with that, of course). The cockroach problem though was out of hand. Smashed cockroaches on the floor and the wall and live ones running around. I ate dinner in my room, got up for a few minutes, and came back to a roach in on the wrapper. First time in Phoenix so I don't know if it's a regional thing or not. Probably won't be staying here again the next time I'm in town.
