Escape to Paradise: Red Lion Inn & Suites Goodyear Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the slightly messy, but definitely real, world of Escape to Paradise: Red Lion Inn & Suites Goodyear Awaits! I'm talking a deep dive, a full-on sensory overload review, the kind that grabs you and doesn't let go until you're either booking a room or running for the hills (but hopefully, you'll be booking a room).
First things first: Accessibility. Look, I’m not in a wheelchair, but I always appreciate a place that gets it. Red Lion actually sounds like it's trying. The fact they list Facilities for disabled guests is a good start. And then it branches out to things like convenient parking, a necessity for anyone with mobility challenges. It gives me hope. I'll need to dig deeper here. I will update this if I am able to make on onsite visit.
Now, let's get down to the good stuff… the stuff that REALLY matters: How do you Relax?!
This is where Red Lion starts to tease me. Okay, a Swimming Pool [outdoor], fantastic! That's a must. I love the thought of slinking in slowly, maybe with a tiny cocktail umbrella in my drink. But… the "Pool with view" – is it really beautiful? Does it overlook some stunning Goodyear vista? Or is it just, y'know, a pool? I need to know. Then, there's a Fitness center. I might glance at it while I make a beeline to that pool, but good on them for trying to keep the fitness-obsessed happy.
The Spa… ooh, now we're talking. Massage and a Spa/sauna? Hold on a sec… this sounds promising. But where are the details? I need to know if they have that magical massage therapist who can knead all your stress away. Do they do a good deep-tissue? Or is it one of those "relaxing" massages where you end up wanting to scream because they're tickling your back? Seriously, details people!
There does not seem to be body scrub, or body wrap, which is a pity.
Cleanliness and safety: This is HUGE right now, right? The fact that they are talking the talk ( Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Staff trained in safety protocol) is good. But does the talk translate into walk? It is a bit reassuring, I confess. The Room sanitization opt-out available is a good touch. Makes me feel like, if I am worried, I can opt out of service. This is reassuring.
Dining, drinking, and snacking: Ah, the fuel for our escape! There are Restaurants! This raises my hopes – do they have food that isn't just the same old, same old? Is there a Poolside bar? YES PLEASE. I'm already picturing myself sipping something fruity and cold, watching the sun set. They mention an Asian cuisine in restaurant! I am instantly intrigued. International cuisine in restaurant makes my mouth water. I am very curious about Western cuisine in restaurant, as I live in America. Happy hour? Bingo!
The A la carte in the restaurant is a good start also, although the Buffet in restaurant has me thinking, especially if they're doing it right and the food is good. Having Coffee/tea in restaurant is good news, I need my coffee when I wake up!
Okay, quick side rant: If I go to a place that advertises Breakfast [buffet] and it's just sad, rubbery eggs and lukewarm coffee… I will lose my mind. Seriously. No one wants that. I want fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and a good coffee. And the fact that they also offer Breakfast takeaway service is a bonus.
Services and conveniences: Air conditioning in public area – essential in Goodyear! Let's be real. Concierge – handy for recommendations and all that. Daily housekeeping – a blessing, unless the cleaning staff start knocking on the door at 8 a.m. every day. Dry cleaning, Laundry service, Ironing service – are all fantastic, even if I rarely actually use them. Elevator -- good for guests of all ablilites.
The Room. I need to know about the room, damnit. Air conditioning Alarm clock Bathrobes! This is getting better! Coffee/tea maker -- YES. Refrigerator Mini bar – YES, YES, YES! In-room safe box-- I don't want to worry about my valuables. Seating area Separate shower/bathtub -- Perfect! Free Wi-Fi - Thank the heavens. Slippers -- A perfect touch. Desk. Yes. Wake-up service -- I am not a morning person. All very standard, all very good.
For the kids: I'm not bringing kids, but the fact that they mention Babysitting service, Kids facilities and Kids meal warms my heart. Makes the place seem more family-friendly.
Getting around: Airport transfer -- helpful. Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, All good! Taxi service-- great!

Luxor Boutique Hotel Vietnam: Your Dream Escape Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your average, sterile travel itinerary. This is my attempt to wrangle a trip to the Red Lion Inn & Suites in Goodyear, West Phoenix… and frankly, the very thought of organizing anything after the week I've had is making me want to run screaming into the desert. But, here we go. Wish me luck… and maybe send coffee.
The Goodyear Gauntlet: A Slightly Unhinged Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread (with a Side of Poolside) – or “Why Did I Agree to This?”
- 1:00 PM: Arrive at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX). Okay, first hurdle: the airport. Honestly, just the thought of navigating baggage claim is setting off my internal anxiety alarm. Praying my checked bag doesn't decide to take a trip to Guam. (My life-changing moment: Realizing I forgot my noise-canceling headphones. Panic. Pure. Unadulterated. Panic.)
- 1:45 PM: Uber/Lyft to the Red Lion. Okay, I’m here. It's… fine. The lobby is beige. Beige is a color. A very… beige color. Why do they make hotel lobbies so… beige? (Personal opinion: At least the air con is working.)
- 2:30 PM: Check-in. Hopefully, my room isn't on the third floor. (I'd requested a room near the elevator, but, well, sometimes the universe hates you. Sigh.)
- 3:00 PM: Room assessment. Okay. Standard. Bed: check. TV: check. Miniature shampoo bottles that are surely designed to provoke rage: check. The air conditioning is working at the bare minimum (a common theme, I suspect). Emotional reaction: Initial relief at not being in a prison cell is replaced by the creeping sensation of “Oh God, I have to unpack.”
- 3:30 PM: Poolside Reconnaissance Mission. The pool… looks… inviting? (I see a rogue inflatable flamingo. My soul briefly considers escaping my body and joining it.) The water doesn't look like it's actively trying to poison me, so… that’s a win.
- 4:00 PM: Attempt to relax by the pool. Fail. Every time I sit down, I feel the need to get up and do something. Just when I'm getting settled, a screaming child is the new soundtrack, but still I can try to survive. (A quirky observation: Why is swimsuit design so baffling? Like, are we aiming for style or practicality? You can't have both, people!)
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at… well, wherever is closest and doesn't involve driving. (My car is still in the shop, and I can't believe I didn't rent one.) Something vaguely edible. Emotional reaction: A burger tastes like… a burger. I’m alive. That’s something.
- 7:30 PM: Attempt to watch TV. Realize I forgot to bring a book. Curse. Stare blankly at the screen. Start replaying the last three days of my life in my mind.
- 8:30 PM: Bed. Cross fingers for a semi-peaceful night. Wish me luck.
- 9:00 PM: Oh! I forgot to add in the grocery run!
Day 2: Desert Dreams and Culinary Crimes
- 7:00 AM: Wake up and immediately feel like I am being squeezed.
- 7:30 AM: Attempt to "complimentary" breakfast. The "coffee" is practically dishwater. "Eggs" (air quotes, people, air quotes) look, and smell, like they've been sitting there since the Cretaceous period. I grab a sad-looking blueberry muffin and flee. (My opinion: Free breakfast is never worth it. NEVER.)
- 8:00 AM: Decide it's time to experience the desert. Maybe I will find inner peace. I go outside to the local desert. It's a hot. A scorching hot. (I'm already regretting this.)
- 8:30 AM: I've been hiking in the desert for maybe 3 minutes when I start wondering why I thought this was a good idea.
- 9:00 AM: My water is warm. I see some lizards.
- 10:00 AM: Back to the hotel.
- 11:00 AM: I have a snack.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. It's a fast-food chain.
- 1:00 PM: I got some grocery items.
- 2:00 PM: Swim.
- 3:00 PM: More swim.
- 4:00 PM: Rest.
- 5:00 PM: Dinner.
- 6:00 PM: Watch TV.
- 7:00 PM: Stare off into the distance.
- 8:00 PM: Book appointment.
- 9:00 PM: Sleep.
Day 3: Departure and the Sweet Embrace of Freedom (and Laundry)
- 7:30 AM: Wake up. Repeat the breakfast routine.
- 8:00 AM: Pack. Sigh. Why does packing always take longer than I think it will?
- 9:00 AM: Final pool experience. One last shot at actual relaxation. Attempt to embrace the glorious sunshine. (A quirky observation: The people-watching is surprisingly good. Also, I see the flamingo. Its defiance of gravity is inspiring.)
- 10:00 AM: Check-out and head to airport. Praying the Uber ride is uneventful.
- 10:30 AM: The Uber ride is a disaster. The driver is blasting incomprehensible music. I try to ignore it, but finally ask to turn it off.
- 11:30 AM: Airport.
- 12:00 PM: The flight is delayed.
- 1:00 PM: The flight is still delayed.
- 2:00 PM: The flight is taking off.
- 3:00 PM: Home. Finally.
- 3:30 PM: Laundry.
- 4:00 PM: Relax.
Post-Trip Thoughts (aka My Ramblings):
Okay, the Red Lion Inn & Suites was… a place. The desert was hot. I survived. That’s enough, right? The pool was nice enough, I guess. The real takeaway? Never underestimate the power of a good book and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll skip the “free” breakfast next time. Mostly, I'm just glad to be going home.

Escape to Paradise: Red Lion Inn & Suites Goodyear Awaits! – (Or, My Brain on Vacation Planning)
Is this Red Lion place... actually paradise? Because my life needs a serious upgrade.
What's the *actual* address? Because Google Maps isn't my friend. Ever.
What's the deal with the pool? Is it actually swimmable? Or just... decorative? Because I need a place to melt.
Do they have... a decent breakfast? Because if I have to eat a stale continental breakfast I'm going to scream.
Are there any decent restaurants nearby? I'm not about to survive on gas station snacks.
What about parking? Is it going to be a battle for a spot, and I end up parking a mile away? Because my legs ache just *thinking* about that.
Okay, you’ve mentioned the pool, breakfast, restaurants, and parking. Is there ANYTHING else you think is important?
