Almost
directly opposite the main FBO area on North Airport Drive and a couple of
minutes walk to the official viewing area with tables and seating and very nice
Volanti restaurant/bar next to it, which also has views and seating
outside. I had a large room (425) with windows front and back orientated
parallel (almost) with the runway so you can see the approach and climb out,
but you cannot see the runway from this room just the approach and departures
from the respective windows. Poking your head out the front door you could see
aircraft landing or taxiing for departure on runway 21 in a small gap between
airport buildings if they didn't vacate early. The end room of the wing would
have been slightly better but was unavailable during my visit, the
windows in this room will still be orientated parallel with the runway approach
/ climb out not directly facing it. For those using electronics, arrivals into
PHX from the north go over the motel at a couple of thousand feet. Paid about
$80 per night for this stay, not much event wise going on in PHX but still made
a decent haul of biz during my visit. It's a short drive to PHX airport and the
other main airfields of Phoenix. Goodyear for stored stuff was about a 30 - 40
min drive.
