Stayed at Sleep Inn Phoenix North in March 2008.
<P>
The good: relatively quiet location, relatively new property, generally clean throughout. Housekeeping staff were prompt and responded to requests.

The "could be better" : breakfast was nothing but carbs (bagels/waffles/sugar cereal, mini-muffins,fruit). Well, I guess they did have yogurt. Also, driving around there is a bit odd. They are located at a "dual" intersection with I-17 and you have to take the on-ramp north to the next street to get to any eating/shopping opportunities. All the other north/south streets are blocked. Pool/hot tub are outside and small. Our room only had a shower, no tub.

The "needs improvement": The staff at the front desk was highly variable. Two of the three we interacted with were clueless and/or rude, but one was a great guy who really tried to be extra helpful. Also, the value. There's a "suites" edition of another chain immediately next door that offers bigger, nicer rooms (albeit no pool) for 20% less.
