Red Roof Inn Phoenix North - I-17 at Bell Rd
It was a place to sleep so if you just need just basic, it's fine. The bed was very hard, the ADA shower had a floor that was icky, (I can't speak for bathrooms in other rooms) and the lady on staff at night was not very friendly but maybe she was having a bad day. The heat and AC worked fine.
