HOLIDAY INN & SUITES PHOENIX AIRPORT BY IHG, Phoenix

The hotel sits directly off the freeway, making it a quick 5-minute drive (or free shuttle ride) to the airport terminals. The surrounding area is primarily industrial and commercial, with no walkable restaurants or shops within easy walking distance. However, a short drive brings you to Tempe's Mill Avenue district, Arizona State University, Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix Zoo, and downtown Phoenix. The adjacent freeway provides straightforward access to Interstate 10 and State Route 60. For extended parking, the Parking Spot facility is located directly across the street.

Standard rooms and suites offer triple-sheeted bedding, a 38-inch HDTV, free wired and wireless internet, a large work desk with ergonomic chair, coffee maker, mini-fridge, hairdryer, and iron. Suites may include a separate living area with sofa bed and additional space. Rooms are carpeted and air-conditioned. Soundproofing is limited - rooms facing the freeway can experience noticeable traffic noise, and interior doors may not block corridor sounds well. Higher floors tend to be quieter. Some units have connecting doors; these offer less noise isolation. No rooms have balconies. Bathrooms are private with shower and complimentary toiletries. Wheelchair-accessible rooms with grab bars and roll-in showers are available.

Breakfast is a hot buffet served from 6am to around 10am, priced at $15.95 + tax per person. The buffet includes eggs, bacon, pancakes, fresh fruit, pastries, and made-to-order omelettes.

Children 11 and under eat free from the main menu (up to two per adult). A full bar with cocktails and local beers is available. The lounge area has a relaxed, modern atmosphere and occasionally features live music. No other on-site dining options exist, but several restaurants are within a short drive in Tempe.

The outdoor pool and whirlpool are open from 8am to 10pm and are heated year-round. The pool area features loungers, fire pits, and is set in a landscaped courtyard.
