I worked at Desert Sun as a night auditor when I was 21 back in 1970 and it was beginning to attract the seeder kind of people by than. I'm sure it was one of Phoenix's best and from what I remember it was classy. Phoenix was a lot different back than and sometimes I wish I could go back to those days.

ReplyDeleteI was a night auditor at this hotel back in 1970 and by that time it was beginning to go down hill, a lot of the rooms were used for other things if you get my drift. I'm sure it was a wonderful place for many families during its run. It's sad to see chainlink fence around the property and many of the buildings have been torn down. Looks like one section is being refurbished along with the main building. The pool seems to have been recently filled in with dirt. Sometimes I wish I could go back to those days when Phoenix truly was a friendly city.
