Reviews
The hotel reviews indicate a mix of positive and negative experiences. While the front desk staff is consistently praised for their professionalism and courtesy, the hotel's management and maintenance are frequently criticized. The breakfast provided is also a common point of dissatisfaction, with many guests finding it inadequate.
- Front desk staff is professional and courteous
- Rooms are generally clean and comfortable
- Management is unresponsive to recurring problems
- Breakfast is meager and often not as advertised
- 4/5
The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Our room had the separate living space and king size bedroom. The breakfast was average. The location was minutes away from any and everything you need from restaurants and shopping centers. The only issue we had the first night was very loud guests by the pool until very late at night. I had to call the front desk twice before something was done to stop the noise.

Great hotel breakfast not so great! Staff is the best
- 5/5
The room was very clean. The complementary.coffee and fresh made cookies were great. The breakfast was not bad at all. The staff was very friendly. The only thing is that trash cans outside the facility were never emptied during my stay. The swimming pool was refreshing but seemed like it needed some up keep. The pool seemed low on water. The pillows were not really comfortable on the bed. But over all my stay was very good.
- 1.5/5
The room was very clean and the bedding was very nice. There was no way to make a cup of tea or coffee in the room, not even a glass to get a drink of water with. In the bathtub/shower, there was no soap except what was attached high on the wall, so that when I took a bath I had difficulty accessing that soap. At the coffee area in the lounge, the only creamer available was sweetened. The breakfast was inedible (fake eggs and very salty sausages), only the bagels were good. I will not be returning to this hotel, and will think twice about using any IHS hotel.

The pool in the heat but the shade was broken and dangerous for customers Fire alarm went off and people had to get out of bed and exit the building. Communication was bad . If it was a real fire would of been dangerous.

The handicap bathrooms had a very low toilet and the only bar was behind the toilet. A higher toilet with a side rail would have been nice. Luckily I brought my own riser seat. Also it's a fridge only...no freezer compartment

The room was nice. The bed wasn't too tall and the mattress was quite comfortable. Staff was friendly especially the girl taking care of the breakfast area. She kept everything clean and stocked. The free ice cold infused water was a nice treat...my husband enjoyed the cookies The handicap bathrooms had a very low toilet and the only bar was behind the toilet.

What a wonderful staff. My room was clean, comfortable, and every light in the place worked. That never happens anymore. Although they mentioned grab and go breakfast, they had scrambled eggs and sausage, cheese, salsa, as well as all of the other breakfast items. The coffee was very good. They had out water and cookies. Just all of the details were well attended to. This is an easy place to stay at and I will be back. Not one thing, it was great.

Older property but clean!

The staff were incredibly helpful. I had an EV rental vehicle and needed to know where I could charge it. I was informed there was one right across the street. That was a huge relief since it was not only my first visit to the area, it was also my first EV rental car. This eased my mind and allowed me to concentrate on my business trip responsibilities. The hotel was very clean. They offer a basic breakfast buffet that I was not able to take advantage of until the morning I checked out. I enjoyed that too.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone coming for Spring Training or whatever their reason for visiting Surprise. I'd stay there again! VERY CLEAN, rooms are roomy, convenient to gas station and 4 miles from any restaurant or fast food, grocery store. Plenty of parking. Continental breakfast, coffee machine in mornings, water machine to fill water bottle. Their isn't one bad thing to say about this place.

Too cold to use pool but the breakfasts were great and the 24 hr coffee and tea in the lobby means I didn't have to try to make my own. Nice place with friendly staff.

Was extremely disappointed in the condition of the hotel. Needs a complete update & overhaul. It's also not in the best location for easy access to restaurants or entertainment. Although, the front desk staff were friendly, professional and very accommodating.

Cleanliness needs to approve, had to remind staff to clean room and breakfast was below average and exercise room is not really an exercise room.

Nice and clean, modern. Comfortable bed. The only negative was the AC unit. Very loud and hard to adjust to a comfortable level.

I come to the Phoenix area from time to time as a working musician. This hotel and their staff are amazing. I won’t stay anywhere else now.
- 5/5
The room was clean and it was very comfortable and spacious. The only thing I would like would have been to have two bottles of water in the room. There was water in the lobby, but it was a pain to go back-and-forth to get water when we wanted some. I would definitely stay there again when we are in the area and hopefully get to use the pool next time.

The rate was great. Check in staff was friendly. Room was spotless. There were no drinking glasses, ice buckets, or coffee pot. But there was a fridge! No room service unless you hung door hanger out! That was a new adv. Did not have breakfast as it was over by 9:30am. Not sure I would stay there again.
- 2/5
Room was dirty. Sheets stained. NO cups or glasses in the room. Ice machine in hallway but NO ice bucket in room. One small garbage can in the bathroom…none in the room. Leaf-blower from neighboring building at 7a. Breakfast food terrible. I’ll say the coffee is good and that Lynda at the front desk is a positive asset. And other than the leaf blower, the stay was relatively quiet.

Checked in on Tuesday and checked out early Friday. Never saw anyone from housecleaning. No one cleaned the room. I had secure towels from the front desk on Wednesday & Thursday. Both times I complained and both times & was told the cleaning staff had already gone home for the day, along with the hotel manager. I would not go back.

The room was clean, staff were super friendly and helpful, and parking was easy and abundant! Unfortunately the coffee makers were both out of service our last morning, and we didn't get the housekeeping service in the middle of our stay as we had requested, but otherwise a great little spot for a reasonable price!

Checked in with Ruben, he was great. The room was clean and well furnished. It was larger than expected, which was nice. The hotel is very nice. The staff was so nice and helpful. I used the guest laundry, the machines worked well, and the space was clean. They provided large pillows, which is so nice. I couldn't figure out how to get the guide on the TV, but the TV worked great. It was in a nice location. They provided a good breakfast. I really enjoyed my short stay. My only complaints are - the shampoo didn't lather, maybe someone put the wrong product in the dispenser. And the noise from someone getting ice at 5:30AM, they got a lot of ice. It was very loud.

Manager did not realize that they accept cats as pets, as stated on their website. Charged $25.00 perrrrr night. Argued with my wife while I was in the hospital with unknown problem.

This is my second stay at this hotel, it's a place they truly make you feel at home, coffee is 24/7 and it's delicious, I believe it's Costa rican. It's not a brand new place, but it's impeccably kept and I mean spotless! The air is clean and fresh, the staff truly makes you feel like you're at home, very considerate and caring. Management was great, I just love this hotel, the energy is amazing.

The hotel is relatively new so everything is clean and in good repair. The rooms are spacious and come with a refrigerator, the shower is large and has good water pressure.

This was a nice place to stay and Rueban at the front desk was so nice. Our issue was after we got home we realized my husband had left his medical pillow there on the bed, it was white and blended in with all the bedding. We called immediately and were told it wasnt there, which we know it was, so someone obviously stole it. He called them and they didnt see it in the lost and found. I tried calling to speak to the manager and was hung up on twice. So needless to say our opinion was not a good one.
- 4/5
The only minor issue is in the 3 days we were there,breakfast was served later than advertised. Didn't affect us but it did others and complained ,some had somewhere to be or leaving for airport early. Maybe staffing issue at that time,hopefully temporary. Otherwise everything else was great .

We booked a room through Expedia for three nights. Upon arrival the hotel told us that the cost would be almost 50% more than the booked price. Even when showed our reservation, they refused to honor it and they charged us the higher price. Seems like "bait and switch" to us. We won't stay at this hotel again and we won't use Expedia.

My short stay was very good for a last minute booking. The room was clean but some of the furnishings were a little tired. Everything DID work which indicates a solud maintenance program. Lobby and common areas were clean and straightened up. Breakfast was good with hot offerings to include scrambled eggs, sausage patties, oatmeal and waffles. Definitely good value for the money.

The positives are that the room is clean, the staff is friendly and there's a nightlight in the bathroom. The problems are that there limited refrigerators for the rooms and the tv doesn't work. Those are deal breakers for me. The room is very basic. They don't even have cups in the room for brushing teeth. There's no coffee maker, which I don't use, but others might.
