I stayed at an economical spot in Central Phoenix just 5 minutes from the Footprint Center, and it was perfect for a short stay. The place was clean, quiet, and had everything I needed for a night or two. It’s not fancy, but if you’re on a budget and want to be close to downtown attractions, it’s a great option. I’d definitely recommend it for solo travelers or anyone just looking for a simple, comfortable place to crash.

A good low cost option in downtown Phoenix that is close to transit. But you pay for what you get. Rooms are falling apart, shower had no hot water. The area lost power for 20mins but the hotel was without power for 3 hours one day.

Problem free but upgrading needed.

The building is old and needs updating. The rooms need to be updated with more outlets and gfci. The ac would be updated there was a musty smell coming from ours. Installation of shower racks and some kind of shelving in the shower would be helpful. I would probably upgrade the toilets. The young guy that checked us in was very nice and helpful. All in all My husband and I felt safe so that’s a huge plus for us.

The first day I arrived it was hard to get someone to help me but the second day that I stayed everyone was attentive from morning till night whenever I went to front desk. I guess the first night I was here was must have been an off day for them but overall I had an amazing experience and they accommodated everything that I requested. I give them a 9 out of 10

It took the front desk manager 10 to 15 minutes to even show up at the front desk to check me in. I rang the doorbell. I went to speak to staff. he was nowhere to be found for over 10 minutes. No wifi info provided. When I returned to get the Wi-Fi only an hour later, once again there was no one at the front desk I waited 5 minutes and didn't weigh any longer just went back to my room without the Wi-Fi info.

Good for the price

The room we were in was pretty noisy being right across from a concert venue on a main road but we just left the TV on overnight. The room was clean enough minus the toilet seat could have used a bit of help. We felt safe in the area - fire station across the street, sheriff’s dept nearby... Overall our 1 night stay was just fine.

My stay was good for the most part aside from the fact I felt like my life was on the line given the area it is in (but I guess you reap what you sow when you book). My critique was it wasn’t exactly made clear where continental breakfast was at if there was even offered (I saw it on the central phoenix sign but didn’t know where it would be at). Other than that, good for what I needed

The associate who checked us in was awesome! The room was a bit worn down - paint peeling in the bathroom, AC unit was confusing and looked worn. There was some mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. We asked that it be cleaned on one day but within 24 hours nothing was done. We asked a different employee the next day and when we came back to the room it was done, so 2 out of 3 staff people were really great! The hotel should have been 1 or 2 stars - no gym, no breakfast. It was sufficiently clean that my wife was willing to stay, but she did make me promise that we would never stay in a place like this again.

A Good Weekend Hotel

The stay was good. We arrived late due to Los Angeles traffic and they were courteous enough to call us to make sure we were still coming, and not canceling our reservation. That was very thoughtful. King bed room was huge, we were surprised about that. Yes we would stay again.

I got the impression this hotel was family owned and/or operated. We had issues with our tv and 2 teenage girls came in to see what the problem was and got assistance via phone but could not grt it working. 2 days later, a technician came in to fix the issue and tv then worked as it should. Room cleanliness was ok. There was dirt/hair at the rear of the base of the bathroom sink pedestal. Other than that, the rest if the room was fine. Beds made and new towels daily. Staff was courteous, very willing to assist. Not used to a downtown atmosphere so this was a litle strange.
