text: We wanted to stay nearby Phoenix Childrens Hospital while my sister was in the ICU there Since we were in transit my stepdad booked us a room at Hotel Highland We were not sure what to expect since we had no idea what kind of hotel it was but knew it was in a rough area nnThe area IS rough but the hotel is terrific The staff were wonderfully helpful and accommodating When we checked in we got two Buy One Get One Free drink coupons to their bar nnThe bar itself is cozy with couches and neat details and warm lighting that invites you to sit down and just relax for a bit You can also take your drinks out on to the patio by the pool which is enclosed so you do not take glass in that area with firepits that they light at night My husband and I took our drinks wonderful wine out on the patio after a long day at the hospital and were able to relax before bed nnThe hotel itself looks to be newly remodeled and is quite luxurious for the inexpensive rate of night on a weekend nnOur room was kind of odd in that the bathroom sink was actually in the main part of the room and they only gave us two towels Other than that the room was very nice and got to love blackout window panels The bed was SO soft and the linens were very nice nnIf we are ever in the area hopefully not for the same reason we will definitely stay here again StarsnnQuick Tip Free WiFi with a password provided by the front desk
