La Quinta Inn Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport South

This is one of those properties you should only stay at if you are seeking a cheap place to sleep and for only one night like I did.

I have never been a fan of the motel type setting of many chain hotels and this is no exception. What I mean here is that every room has an entry door to the outside world rather than being in an enclosed facility. The room was stark but I managed to get a decent night's sleep.

The benefits of this property are the price $58.65 plus $7.09 in taxes, a free airport shuttle, free wi-fi and buffet breakfast.

My plane was departing at 5 a.m. which was too early for the shuttle or the breakfast so I needed a $15 cab ride that took 5 minutes.

This property is definitely not a place I would take my family on vacation, but as I said it serves the traveler who needs a cheap place to stay by the airport.
