This is by far the worst hotel room that I have ever stayed in. In fact, I chose to leave an hour after I had arrived. The bathtub was in real poor shape (filthy), the floor of the hotel room was dusty and it had no less than a half a gallon of wall paint on the floor, perhaps someone spilled the pain on the floor and didn’t bother to clean it up,. The television and the nightstand would not turn on.

The shower had absolutely no hot water. I know it was not just my room. I had a friend who was staying the next room over and he said the same thing. The front desk is so slow at answering calls. The items in the room were worn down and deteriorating as well.

I liked the response from front desk personnel to accomodate my issues. They were understanding and helped me immediately. Price was right compared to nearby hotels. My first room had indications of spilled painting which was not cleaned up. Limited or no hot water for showers. Shower/bath faucet leaked and sprayed onto bathroom floor even after pulling the shower curtain. Floor was uneven and desk chair rolled easily into corner of room. Security feature individuals used a rock to pry open the back door.

Adequate pretty much sums it up

No frills, but gets the job done. Bed was comfortable but room looked worn and dated. Liked the gated off parking for guests, ice machine and two room lights didn’t work. Mild inconveniences on a cost benefit basis.

Don't Stay Here

I had prepaid for 2 rooms, but on arrival I was told they had only 1 room available, with 1 king bed. This was unacceptable as I was traveling with a business associate. I had also called 2 hours prior to my arrival to confirm that we were coming, and was not told about the overbooking issue. The night manager finally called a supervisor, who told him to give me a particular room. The night manager asked, "is that room okay to be used?" It was not. The room was filthy, stains in the tub/shower, squashed bug on the floor, bullet hole in the outer window, rusty screw on the toilet seat, chewed gum stuck on the headboard, mini-fridge not working. At 1:30am, someone opened the door (thankfully I'd used the latch) and shouted into the room, "Why is the door locked, who's in there?" When I responded that the room was rented, he apologized and said he was maintenance, and they usually use the room as a break room. The next morning, I explained what happened, and the 2 staff members (Alex the night manager, and Jessica) were completely unapologetic, and rude when I told them my associate and I would not be staying any longer. I cancelled my remaining 2 nights, and asked for a refund. I'm still fighting with them for the refund on my prepaid reservation. It's not allowing me to attach my photos below.

Please do your self a service do not stay here

Please do your self a service do not stay here, the toilet was clogged and when I reported it they gave me a plunger and the front desk guy said I don't get paid enough to unclog toilets, no hot water and when I wanted to leave and not use my second stay they said no refunds, but you are paying for a service that it is not provided. The place is run-down the furniture scraped the bathroom disgusting, according to sources they have been having problems with not having hot water for 3 months at least and the owner does not want to buy a new boiler, and the place is in a bad part of town the cops that showed up to kick me out because I complained ended agreeing with me and told me next time you visit Phoenix do not stay in this area I was told they caught people smoking Fentanil, doing drugs horrible the doors are patched up like they forced them to get in, terrible.

Apocalyptic

Meth heads everywhere, prostitutes in and out of the hotel & on the property. People's pets roaming the parking lot. Horrible smell. Bad plumbing, old, dirty, beat-up furniture. I will Never stay here again. The front desk people & maids were nice.
