Something of a rip-off. I was there for a three-day business conference and rationalized the room price by not needing a rental car rather than staying at a nearby more reasonable hotel. The suprise daily "resort fee" of $30 tacked on my bill when I checked out shot that theory down quickly. Supposedly it covers parking (I had no car), the health club (since it was a mile away I went running on the surrounding streets instead), in-room coffee (free in other hotels) and internet access (free over at the resort's convention center where I used it). I still wouldn't have had a problem with it except for the fact that the guy checking out next to me paid a resort fee of only $15. Apparently this hotel offers groups supposedly discounted rates to make it look more attractive and then doubles the price of the resort fee!
I don't mind hotels making money, but when they act like car dealers something's not quite right. I've stayed in better hotels for less in this area, and will pass this one by on my next monthly trip to Phoenix.
