Holiday Inn & Suites Phoenix Airport

What is your Priority Club status?
Spire Inner Circle

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked standard King Bed Executive Nonsmoking, upgraded to a suite on the top (5th) floor.

How are the rooms?
Suite is long and a little narrow; similar to an Embassy Suites room. There's a small wet bar in the living room with a mini fridge and microwave, which is nice to have for drinks and leftovers. The bathroom has a single sink and tub and shower. Water pressure is good. Bed was comfortable with good soundproofing and not to much airport noise or from the freeway outside. The outlets on the lamps in the bedroom go into sleep mode after 30 minutes so if you want to charge anything, you need to plug into a wall outlet.

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A

What was good and what was bad?
Nice property, new build and well-maintained. Easy to take free shuttle to/from PHX; you need to call from the terminal. It's about a 10 minute ride. The Holiday Inn shuttles look alike so be careful not to get on a shuttle heading to the North property/ When taking the shuttle to the airport, you need to make advance registrations at the Front Desk. Friendly staff. Decent breakfast buffet. My wife said the yoga mat in the exercise room was really dirty and worn; we wondered if it was the original one from when the hotel opened.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Based on the suite upgrade and breakfast for two, a good value.
