Attending a concert across the street it was very convenient and clean. It’s an older place that has been renovated. It worked well for our porpoise.

I stayed at the Downtown Phoenix Hotel. Jan 18-22. I would agree with other reviews, book a double bed if you can. The Single Queen is very small, not much room at all. If traveling solo like me, it's doable. It was clean on arrival, but had to remind front desk about housekeeping as they missed me a few times. Sandi ? The front desk person was very pleasant and helpful. Also the area has a homeless population, and seems sketchy, but I had no problems, just be aware and cautious like anywhere. Maybe budget a bit higher and try elsewhere if possible.

The pics are a fairy tale compared to real life. Musty mildew smell, growth in the shower, lumpy bed, peeling wall paper….the place is disgusting. Also, this is NOT a “hotel”….this is a motel at best, motel 6 would be a HUGE upgrade. Stay elsewhere.

I’m not sure how this hotel had such a high rating. I was extremely disappointed. I stayed last weekend for 3 nights to attend a youth sports event. The bonuses: location to the convention center was walkable and the room was clean. The negatives: the area around the hotel is extremely loud at night with street racing and music from near by venues, the room smelled like mold, our heating/air did not work the first night and the room was was damp and cold (both my daughter and got sick and are still recovering), the second day the cleaning lady left my door wide open for anyone to walk into and the owner didn’t think it was that big of a deal, once the air/heater was working the room never warmed up at night and stayed at a lukewarm temp and had to request extra blankets. The hotel was not worth the money I paid for it and I will definitely not be staying at the location again.

This was a nightmare! I was unsafe as a female traveling alone. The hotel was in a terrible part of town. The pictures on the site were misrepresenting the property in many ways. I took photos and can share if needed. There were homeless people out my door and circling my rental in broad daylight. I tried to cancel my room and move to a safer location immediately upon arrival. The owner was rude and refused to acknowledge an issue or refund my stay. The closet was a piece of plyboard on a metal shelf. I have stayed in better places in a 3rd world country. I was mortified when the uber driver went to drop me off afraid to get out of the car. The lobby was the size of a restroom and locked at all times. Please do not stay here. You are not safe!

Lipstick on a pig. The sheets didn't fit the creaky bed. The sheets were thin and crackled like paper. The towels didn't match - some new - some old. the "closet" looked like something made in 7th grade shop class. The bathroom window? no idea what was going on with that. Horrible neighborhood. Still - it looked clean and there were clearly upgrades done, which made it look nice, but not feel nice.
sheets didn't fit the bed.   this is exactly how it looked when i pulled down the blanket.
mismatched towels
blaring/  blinding lights with no shades

Room had been "cleaned" but it was not clean. Very run-down condition. The place to hang clothes was a rusty old rack made from iron pipe and plywood. The sheets had been changed but the mattress pad under the sheet was dirty and looked as if it hadn't ever been changed. Also, one of the pillow cases looked like it had not been changed. I asked for a refund through Hotels.com, but the owner refused.

While the staff was friendly, the property is not a hotel, it is a MOTEL. The photos do not look anything like the property. We reserved three rooms -- all three were not clean and one had a broken window. The neighborhood is not ideal and there is a pervasive odor just about everywhere -- inside and out.

The room was clean and overall pleasant, the coffeemaker didn't work, but other than that it was a nice room. Walking up a flight of stairs with a suitcase was a bit cumbersome, but I would book again. I will just be sure to request a first-floor room.
