It is indoors. That is mostly all that I need. It is two blocks from the federal courthouse, which is where I work when I am in Phoenix. It is right on Van Buren and the walls are thin, so if you've never been in a big city before, it might not be your cup of tea. Zippy's, Cibo, Vin and maybe even Taco Boys are all within walking distance depending on your tolerance for walking. Taco Boys is a bit of a walk, but they are grilling over a wood fire so it is worth the trip. The bed, shower, toilet, refrigerator, microwave and wifi all work. If your needs are more upscale than that, there are plenty of places that are happy to charge you more.
