Text - Badass rooms. Nice showers. Rockin' pool and bar outside. Not bad prices for Valentines Day/Presidents Day weekend.\n\nBusy, busy, busy place. Awesome clothes from rock 'n roll stars shown everywhere. Loved that!\n\nDo NOT get below the 9th floor. Seriously, the difference is ridiculous. Gross compared to Amazin'!

Text - I wanted to like this place. Let me repeat, I really really wanted to like this place. This is the first African restaurant I've heard of in the Phoenix valley area and AS SOON as I heard about it I made immediate plans to visit with my friends. I always try to support local Arizona businesses and with this being an African restaurant, I wanted to support especially because there are so few (if any others) here in the valley. \n\nMy mother is from Sierra Leone, I've spent a lot of time traveling throughout West Africa and spent my entire life eating the cuisines from countries like Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana, Togo, Senegal etc. I've sat in many of my \""aunties\"" (and my mother) kitchens and watched them prepare chicken yassa, egusi soup, jollof rice, moi moi, sawa sawa, krin-krin etc. \n\nTherefore, unlike many (not all) of the reviewers...I know what to expect and I know what to look for in preparation. It's important to also note that each country has their own unique dishes, flavors, cooking styles, but we also share some common dishes like jollof rice, pepper soup, casava leaf, fufu etc. With having common dishes there are always \""debates\"" about who makes the best jollof rice, pepper soup or cassava leafs. People from Sierra Leone, Ghana, Liberia or Nigeria? Much like how people in the United States debate which state makes the best BBQ? Texas? Or Tennessee?\n\nWhen I saw they had fish yassa on the menu I was extremely excited. \nI've typically had this dish at my favorite Senegalese restaurants or prepared by family friends and I was expecting a flavorful delight. When my food arrived I took a bite of my fish, jollof rice and the onion medley. I stopped, I asked the waitress where the cook was from and she said Nigeria. Sighed because it wasn't like my beloved Senegalese version and continued to eat (I hate wasting food). \n\nMy fish was fried until it was practically dried out. While I love crispy tilapia, I don't like it when it's practically burned dry. The jollof rice reminded me how much I disliked Nigerian jollof rice. I was disappointed with my food as were my African & Caribbean friends, but our African-American friends enjoyed their meals. \n\nI will say that the owner came over to our table to check in with us and was extremely friendly. She was so nice that I wished I genuinely enjoyed the food.  \n\nI brought the leftovers home to my mother as she wanted to know about my experience. My mother took a bite of the jollof rice, screwed her face and asked where the cook was from...I said Nigeria to which she replied, \""I thought so...\"". \n\nSo would I return? Maybe,  the owner was wonderful, it's an African business, and I think maybe I should give it one.last.chance. However, I would definitely try something else.

Text - When I told everyone, excited out of my mind that I was going to see The Black Keys at Corn Exchange - the first thing that came out of their mouth was a massive groan and then they said it was a shitty venue.\n\nEveryone was completely right.\n\nThe Black Keys are unendingly talented and brilliant and perfect and life-changing...\nso they overcame this shitty venueness. Any other band in the universe - I would have killed myself. \n\nAdvice: Bring gum so you can put that shit in pushy bitches' hair. \n\nAmerica plug: 21+ is awesome because there is NEVER anyone 16 there. \nDrunk 16 year olds are literally the worst people in the whole f**king world.

Text - Burger bar never disappoints. While some may see it is a bit on the pricy side for a burger this place has it all. Where else can you get a lobster put on your burger, or have so many different choices. The burgers here are prepaired perfectly. I like my burgers plain and cooked well done. I decided to go with the Kobe burger on a seaseme seed bun with Cheese. My burger was cooked perfectly. It was well done but not dry. Every bite was super tender and the bun was nice and fresh. The burger was large yet fit on the bun. The service was good as well. The burger here just can't be beat. Still my favorite burger I have had. The fat fries I got with my burger were fresh and not over salted. This is the place to go for burgers, will not dissappoint.

Classify the following: Went in last night with a friend, looked around, walked out. Maybe we got there way too early but it had an eerie waxworks museum quality to it. Strange people hanging out in the parking lot in back. Almost indescribable. A co-worker always goes on about how hot the bartenders are here but I was so confused walking in due to the atmosphere I didn't even notice the bartender. Will have to go back for a full review.
