We staycation here all the time. The rooms are so cool. The people are friendly. They charge for parking now and we got a $200 boot because we didn’t realize it. (We got there after midnight and were really tired) so be careful of that. Paying over $300 for the room and getting a boot was frustrating ...

Crowne Plaza Phoenix Airport - PHX by IHG
Nice, spacious clean room. Onsite restaurant for dinner was just ok, breakfast restaurant was good. There's a shuttle to the airport that runs every half hour, so very convenient for flying out of Phoenix airport. Onsite fitness center and pool were nice amenities.
