phone: +1 928-854-2833address: 1420 N McCulloch BlvdVery modern hotel right next to London Bridge with funky rooms with Bridge views. The lively bar (which is also the reception area) with a large outdoor drinking area with bridge views are clearly audible in rooms, so it's not a hotel for those who want a quiet early night!
