During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Desert Botanical Garden
Located in Papago Park adjacent to the Phoenix Zoo and devoted exclusively to cacti and other desert plants, this botanic garden displays more than 20,000 plants from all over the world. The Plants and People of the Sonoran Desert Trail is the state's best introduction to ethnobotany (human use of plants) in the Southwest. Along the trail are interactive displays that demonstrate how Native Americans once used wild and cultivated plants. You can make a yucca-fiber brush and practice grinding corn and mesquite beans. At the Center for Desert Living, there are demonstration gardens and an energy- and water-conservation research house. On the Harriet K. Maxwell Desert Wildflower Trail, you'll find an ever-changing palette of colorful wildflowers throughout much of the year. If you come late in the day, you can stay until after dark and see night-blooming flowers and dramatically lit cacti. A cafe on the grounds serves good food and makes a great lunch spot. In spring and fall, there are also concerts in the garden. In early December, during Las Noches de las Luminarias, the gardens are lit at night by luminarias (candles inside small bags).
Arizona State University Art Museum at Nelson Fine Arts Center
Although it isn't very large, this museum is memorable for its innovative architecture and excellent temporary exhibitions. With its purplish-gray stucco facade and pyramidal shape, the stark, angular building conjures up images of sunsets on desert mountains. The entrance is down a flight of stairs that leads to a cool underground garden area. Inside are galleries for crafts, prints, contemporary art, and Latin American art, along with outdoor sculpture courts and a gift shop. The collection of American art includes works by Georgia O'Keeffe, Edward Hopper, and Frederic Remington. Definitely a must for both art and architecture fans. Across the street is the Ceramics Research Center and Gallery, which showcases the university's extensive collection of fine art ceramics and is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm. This latter center is another place not to miss. You just won't believe the amazing creativity on display here.
Taliesin West
Frank Lloyd Wright fell in love with the Arizona desert and, in 1937, built Taliesin West as a winter camp that served as his home, office, and school. Today, the buildings of Taliesin West are the headquarters of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and School of Architecture.Tours explain the campus buildings and include a general introduction to Wright and his theories of architecture. Wright believed in using local materials in his designs, and this is much in evidence at Taliesin West, where local stone was used for building foundations. With its open-walled buildings and patio areas, Taliesin West also showcases Wright's ability to integrate indoor and outdoor spaces.Expanded Insight Tours ($16-$22), behind-the-scenes tours ($45), guided desert walks ($20), apprentice shelter tours ($30), and night hikes ($25) are also available at certain times of year. Call ahead for schedule information.In downtown Scottsdale, you'll find Wright Downtown, 7079 E. Fifth Ave. (tel. 480/990-7710), a shop that sells reproductions of Wright designs and also has lots of books about the architect.

My review of Best Western InnSuites Phoenix
David, 2006-10-29
The room heat / air didn't work well and there were roaches in the bath/sink area. I reported it and moved out.
Very Friendly Staff!!

Accessability to "51" freeway was excellent for coming and going!
The hotel staff was very good. Had a few problems at first but staff was GREAT about it! Being so close to the "51" freeway was excellent. Pool area was very nice and didn't have an uptight or restrictive feeling to it. The complimentary breakfasts till 10:00 a/m were excellent! It was a great, convenient start for busy, hectic days! Eggs, potatoes, waffles, toast, cereal, yogurt, fruit, juices, coffee, milk - all one could ask for. They even have a Happy Hour each evening w/beer, wine and snack offerings. Computers in lobby for on-line research and e-mail was great too! Staff is very accomodating and nice. Room w/2 queen beds for 3 women getting ready for several wedding functions was a bit small. Next time we'll know to get a larger room. Thanks.
Nice Hotel, Problems at check-in addressed quickly
Karen, Rochester, NY, 2005-09-20
We have no complaints about the room, location, amenities or cleanliness. We did have an issue at check-in though. We made our reservations on 8/26/05 for 4 nights in September. I had printed out the confirmation with all the pertinent info and was very glad I did. When we arrived at the hotel we were told our reservation had been cancelled. When the correct reservation was sent to the hotel the hotel recorded the reservation as starting immediatley. Needless to say when we did not show up they cancelled the reservation. In the hotels defense the person checking us in admitted the hotel was at fault and took steps to make everything right immediatley. The standard rooms were all full so we where given a Jr. suite at the standard rate quoted on our confirmation.
LOCATION
Daniel, Harrisburg, PA, 2005-08-23
I'M TOLD THERE IS A MALL ABOUT FIVE MILES AWAY.
The hotel is located off major roads. However there is nothing around the hotel to walk to.
