I picked this hotel for its location. Reached Phoenix by air and was happy that the airport shuttle stopped right next to the light rail station outside the hotel. It's a small hotel with everything you need for a short stay.

Check-in at this hotel right after I got off the plane at LAX. The 24-hour hotel shuttle service is a big plus for those stay overnight for the next day flight. The room check-in process was fast. I was given a deluxe room that's facing the hotel car park.
The room was clean and equipped with everything I needed...basic amenities and a coffee maker. The only thing that I can complain about is the location of its swimming pool.It's located next to the hotel lobby. This makes me uncomfortable to swim as I can see people walking around in the lobby.

選了Norma's吃brunch，行程倉促沒有訂位，大約11點半到達，但要2個小時后才有位，這麽popular的餐廳，實屬正常。天氣不錯，去MOMA，Fifth Ave.隨便逛了一會兒回來，終于有位可以坐下享用relaxing weekend brunch，最重要和好友重聚，更是開心。

Omelet是我最愛，不過之前已經吃過，這次選了Eggs Benedict。最合我心意是最下層用Buttermilk Pancake 而不是Muffin（因爲我不喜歡吃muffin，所以不太吃egg benedict，但這一變化徹底改變了egg benedict給我的印象），layered with Canadian Bacon and Grilled Asparagus，bacon香脆，而且口感不油膩，asparagus grill恰到好處，已經熟了但仍保有清脆的口感。The eggs were perfectly poached，fresh ranged eggs以及老道的火候時間掌握，缺一不可。這應該是我吃過最完美的poached eggs了。我不喜歡那種只會流得到處都是的傾瀉，半凝固的那種慾動還流是我最喜歡的。蛋黃仍然是流動的，但不肆意，好控制，不用倉促地把流得到處都是的蛋黃放入口中，如同ice cream般的凝動，讓你可以慢慢享受蛋的美味。想要加點其他食物一起體驗混合的味感，悉聽尊便，它是流動的，卻又停在那裏，大可不慌不忙地享用。Fingerling potatos也是grill到剛好，口感綿軟又不糊爛。Best egg benedict I've ever had! 如果你到曼哈頓，真的推薦你來嘗一嘗，雖然要將近30美金（包括tips)，但真的值得一試。

這裡等位時間長，坐下來等上菜時間也不短，我的egg benedict等了足足45分鐘，中間問過一次，但waiter很有禮貌的說因爲新鮮製作，客人衆多，就是要等那麽久。這倒也好，讓我和好友多聊一陣，orange juice和coffee不像香港以杯計價，大可慢慢享用新鮮及溫熱。

一餐美味無比的brunch，一次愉快的重聚暢談，真是開心不已！
