La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Phoenix Scottsdale
The room was very clean! The Staff was awesome. The reception day and night guys were great 👌, i will definitely look for this hotel in south Phoenix for February before flying off. I tried excellent hotel close to PHX and unfortunately wasn't up to my expectations, pretty disappointing for a 200/night ...
