Travel Advice
This light rail station is less than 2 miles away from the condo. It offers free parking (no overnight parking). Take the light rail to Tempe (ASU/Stadium), Downtown Phoenix (Suns/Diamondbacks Stadium), and to Downtown Mesa. Easiest and cheapest way to get to the stadiums without paying for stadium parking and deal with heavy traffic. There is only ONE line, and you won't get lost. Tickets are available at kiosks at the station but bring dollar bills and quarters. Card machines do not work well in the summer heat

Best kept secret and a sneaky way to get to the airport without paying for additional UBER/LYFT fees. Go to Crowne Plaza Hotel on Washington Street, which is less than 2 miles away. From there, the air train runs straight into the terminals. Air Train is free. Also, if you have to rent a car, go to this location and take the Air Train to the airport and then to the Car Rental facility.
While it is a "sneaky" way of getting to and from the airport, it is actually better for the Uber/Rideshare drivers. Often times, these drivers wait for hours only to get a short ride (less than 4 miles) to our condo, and it affects their income. Taking UBER to and from the train station is much better for the traveler and the drivers.
