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 room was pretty and the staff was great. But there were two cockroaches in the bathroom. I haven't had that happen at a hotel in over ten years.

This is NOT at all what the pictures lead you to believe. It is a cheap motel with questionable cleanliness and a sketchy parking lot. The shower door in our room would not close and the grout in the tiles was filthy. Another room shared by our group had pink mold on the shower curtain and the fan in their room started smelling like burnt rubber in the middle of the night. They had to turn it off to avoid a fire. While it is obvious they see working on upgrades and remodeling, this still has ways to go. Apparently the name has changed several times in the last few years too, not usually a good sign. The only thing we liked is that it was walking distance to the venue we were visiting— but there were MUCH nicer actual HOTELS nearer too. Don’t be fooled by the pictures!

Horrible. The deadbolt lock was broke. Shower door didn’t close, leaked all over. Just feels like no care is given to the upkeep of the motel. Parking was VERY limited. Had to street park, in a very sketchy part of the city. I cannot recommend this motel.
