Bottom Line

This 160-room mid-range hotel is a 10-minute drive from downtown Phoenix and has peaceful, shady grounds with two heated pools, a volleyball court, and a tennis court. But bland rooms are showing wear and tear, and there's not much to do in the immediate area.

Oyster Hotel Review

Wyndham Garden Phoenix Midtown

Location

Tucked away on a quiet street, 10 minutes from the restaurants, shops and sports facilities of downtown Phoenix

The immediate area around the hotel has a mix of residential and business buildings, but few restaurants or shops. Don't expect a bustling atmosphere -- nighttime brings a ghost-town feel to this block. It's a short drive, or ride on the city's light rail system, to downtown attractions such as the Phoenix Art Museum, US Airways Arena, and nightclubs. Shuttle service is not offered.

  • 10-minute walk to a Central Avenue stop on the Phoenix Light Rail System
  • 15-minute walk to Park Central, the city's oldest shopping mall
  • 5-minute drive or 5 minutes to by light rail to the Phoenix Art Museum
  • 10-minute drive or 15 minutes by light rail to downtown Phoenix, US Airways Arena, Chase Field, and numerous restaurants
  • 15-minute drive or 20 minutes by light rail to Sky Harbor International Airport
  • 15-minute drive to Piestewa Peak, a popular hiking destination
  • 20-minute drive to the Phoenix Zoo
  • 30-minute drive to downtown Scottsdale
