A four-minute drive from Sky Harbor International Airport, the 199-room, three-pearl DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Phoenix is geared toward travelers on the go, with free airport transfers, a free area shuttle, a 24-hour business center and meeting space, and fitness facilities. The outdoor courtyard has a heated pool, whirlpool, and seating areas. And the on-site restaurant and bar serve three meals a day, including a free breakfast buffet. The hotel is clean, functional, and pleasant, but the decor is in the generic style of a mid-range chain. Rooms -- all suites -- are spacious with separate living and sleeping areas, and kitchenettes. Rates at the nearby Radisson Hotel Phoenix Airport tend to be lower, sometimes even by half, but their rooms are smaller and don't have kitchenettes.

A free breakfast, pool, and hot tub are the best features of the budget-friendly Best Western Innsuites Phoenix Biltmore. An evening social hour and an outdoor patio with grills encourages camaraderie amongst guests, while a business center, public computers, and a meeting room are nice features for business travelers. The 111 modern rooms have a sleek brown-and-white decor and convenient amenities such as microwaves, mini-fridges, and deep soaking tubs. Overall, this Best Western offers a good value, but travelers may still want to compare rates and amenities with the Homewood Suites by Hilton Phoenix-Bitmore, which has a free shuttle.

This upscale, high-rise business hotel is located in the heart of downtown Phoenix, close to restaurants, the convention center, and museums. Features include ample business facilities, such as meeting space and a business center, and there is a pool (small, but heated) and an American restaurant and bar on-site. The 242 rooms are impressive for their large size, modern design, and great amenities, but mostly for their incredible city views through floor-to-ceiling windows. There are daily fees for parking and Wi-Fi, though the latter is free for SPG members. Hotel Palomar Phoenix has a cooler atmosphere and better nightlife scene, but no fitness center.

The 242-room Hotel Palomar Phoenix - A Kimpton Hotel is a hip and upscale property that opened in 2012. The location -- near Talking Stick Resort Arena, restaurants, and shopping -- is hard to beat. In addition to modern design and a cool atmosphere, the highlight here is a rooftop pool and bar with great views of the city that can be a lively hangout spot. Rooms are sleek and contemporary with quirky art, yoga mats, and some with soaking tubs and separate stall showers. For business travelers, there are board rooms and meeting spaces on-site. The light rail connects guests easily from the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport to the hotel. Crowds and fees for Wi-Fi can be annoying. One alternative is the W Scottsdale; it is a little bit less expensive but has just as posh a nightlife scene.

This 869-room megaresort north of Phoenix with two 18-hole golf courses is so massive that even the street is named after it -- Marriott Drive. It's part of Marriott's JW luxury brand, and mostly lives up to expectations, but prices seem a bit high considering decor is a tad generic and signs of age are starting to show. The resort mostly attracts families who keep busy with an unending list of activities, as well as large conference groups gathering in one of the ballrooms. Some pointers: The higher the room the better the view (think mountain vistas and desert sunsets), and light sleepers should avoid the pool area to avoid late-night revelers and live music. For some peace and quiet, the Revive Spa has 41 treatment rooms and a healthy restaurant. The fitness center is small, but it does come with floor-to-ceiling windows, or guests can make use of the 4.2-mile jogging course around the property perimeter. One of the highlights is the 1,600 foot Lazy River pool, for relaxing inner-tube rides along the beautiful grounds.

The mid-range DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix North offers excellent rates and modern facilities including a large pool and lots of meeting space. Its 284 rooms are pleasant, with Keurig coffeemakers and mini-fridges. However, bathrooms are small and drab, and only upgraded rooms have safes and microwaves. Numerous restaurants and the Metro Center Mall are within a brief walk, but some past guests report feeling uncomfortable walking in the neighborhood at night. The hotel’s free shuttle service helps ease concerns, however. Another good North Phoenix option is the upper-middle-range Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort, which offers spacious suites, waterpark, and spectacular mountainside setting at only slightly higher rates.
