Used to be a Wyndham, off to a good start as a Renaissance
This place used to be a Wyndham Hotel IIRC, and is now a Renaissance. So far, so good. Nice location, close to offices, civic center, sports complexes, etc., with a reasonable amount of bars and restaurants close by. Also adjacent to the light rail system, which offers a convenient connection to a bus that takes you to Sky Harbor. Check in was fast and painless, and the room was standard Renaissance (that's a good thing). A solid option if downtown Phoenix is your destination.
