We settled on the Radisson because it was cheaper than some other hotels downtown but still off the Light Rail. We were able to walk to the hotel from the rail station and the area seemed safe. The room was clean and comfortable -- nothing special but nothing bad either. We were on the 5th floor, which also has access to the rooftop pool.

My only complaint is that the website said the two outdoor pools were heated. Now, I'm from Chicago and I swim in Lake Michigan so I am used to cold water. I know it gets cold in winter in Phoenix, but if you're going to advertise a "heated" pool, then you'd better deliver. The main pool was so cold my toes went numb after dipping them in for 20 seconds. The rooftop pool was about Lake Michigan temperature -- tolerable but NOT heated. It was still nice to sit on the rooftop and lay in the sun.

Requested a quiet room on a high floor, got a room next to ice/pop machine and elevators, on the third (there are 6)floor. Bathroom seems to be where management is economizing. One bar of soap for both shower and sink, thin worn-out small bath towels, mini bottles of shampoo, etc. When we arrived at front portico, saw irrigation system spraying all over the building and drive, instead of watering vegetation. Overall, TLC is non-existent and appears to be on its way to closing.

Had a great rate. It was difficult to sleep - either air conditioner was on and very load or it was off and the room was stuffy.

Needed more towels in the room - called the front desk and they told me I can pick them up myself (at the front desk).

Functional hotel but rather tiered looks and decor. No sleep number bed in my room which was noisy overlooking the outside bar area.

Staff helpfull enough but will not be on my list for any return business trip.
