The Property — Red Roof Plus+ Phoenix West
The lobby is clean and functional, done in a corporate-minimal palette of beige and dark blue, with a queue forming at the self-serve coffee station most mornings. Stay here if you need a reliable base on a road trip or a cheap airport alternative: rooms are basic but spotless, beds firm, and the free parking is genuinely a time-saver in a city where central hotels charge extra. There’s a small outdoor pool that gets the afternoon sun, but don’t expect charm – this is a workhorse property that gets the job done.
Chronicles of Phoenix
Phoenix was formally founded in 1868 on the ruins of the Hohokam civilisation, whose canal system was repurposed by Anglo settlers to farm the Salt River Valley. It boomed after WWII as air conditioning made year-round living tolerable, and the city spread out in low-rise grids rather than up. The contemporary identity is a sunbelt metropolis of golf courses, tech offices in the suburbs, and a revitalising downtown arts scene centred on Roosevelt Row. Culturally, it remains a car-dependent sprawl where the Sonoran Desert is a constant, dusty backdrop.
Best Time to Visit
Full Phoenix guide →Best months
November and March: daytime temperatures in the mid-20s°C, clear skies, and fewer spring-break crowds than in February or April.
Peak / festival surge
March: spring training baseball draws huge crowds, plus snowbirds flood hotels during the Phoenix Open in February. Prices in March can be 40% higher than average; the Waste Management Open is the biggest single driver.
Budget shoulder season
September and October: still very hot (38°C+) in September, but prices drop sharply after Labour Day. Late October sees mild mornings and hotel rates 20-30% lower than winter peaks.
Weather & packing
June is baking: daily highs average 41°C with low humidity, which is punishing. Pack a wide-brim hat, SPF 50, sunglasses, and a light long-sleeve shirt for the sun – shorts alone won't cut it past 10am.
Live City Briefing — Phoenix
- The new light-rail extension to the West Valley, including a stop near the hotel on Thomas Road, opens in spring 2026 – check if it's running before your trip to avoid rental-car reliance.
- The Roosevelt Row arts district has a cluster of new breweries and a weekly First Friday street market that stays open late; easy for an evening out from the hotel.
- Summer heat warning: Valley Metro buses reduce frequencies in June due to heat-related equipment issues, so plan for longer waits if using public transport.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to Red Roof Plus+ Phoenix West, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor to reduce noise from above. Rooms at the end of the corridor, away from the lift and ice machine, tend to be quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lobby, breakfast area, or vending machines—these get heavy foot traffic and early morning noise. Ground-floor rooms can also pick up street and car park sounds.
Best views
For a 3-star motel-style hotel like this, best view usually means a room on the top floor facing away from the main road and car park—ask for a rear-facing room if possible.
Quietest floors
Higher floors, typically the top floor or the one below it, are generally quieter because you won't have neighbours above.
🔊 Noise notes
Motorway noise can be an issue in Phoenix. If the hotel is near an interstate, request a room at the back of the building. Also, some rooms share connecting doors—avoid those if you're a light sleeper.
Insider tips
1. Book directly on the hotel's website and call ahead to request top-floor, end-corridor placement—no extra cost but often honoured. 2. Check if the hotel has a loyalty programme; even basic members sometimes get early check-in or late checkout.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
