Quality Inn & Suites Phoenix NW - Sun City
The front desk lady was fantastic! Very friendly and patient and made the experience start off on a good note. Room was pretty standard but very clean and comfortable. The exterior and surrounding area doesn't look appealing but don't let it fool you! The only downside is the jets that'll fly over ...
