Your information is quite outdated. The Crowne Plaza Phoenix North was purchased in 1/2010, and has since undergone a $3.5 million property-wide renovation, with even more to come. We are absolutely not in foreclosure; I can only assume that you are referring to an article written back in 7/2009, when the hotel was in financial crisis. Different owner, different management company, and we are now a different hotel. I invite you to come by and see the changes. I would appreciate a correction, as this casts a negative light on our hotel.
