Great hotek if going ti any of the nearby venues especial to Arizona Financial Theater. Love this hotel and its locations.....its not the Ritz you get what you pay for, however if not expecting extravagance then this is the place.

Raymond, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was very poor/dirty/neglected and smelled like smoke. The pictures do not justify the hotel/rooms at all. I did not even end up staying. I checked out a couple hours later after checking in due to not feeling comfortable at all.

8/10 Very good

Basic but worked

Clean room. Very basic. Stiff bed. Not a very good area but worked just fine after the concert. Would stay again.
Shannon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and comfortable room. The shower is very small. But its perfect for a place to sleep. The sign out front says continental breakfast, but there is no breakfast of any kind.
Bradley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The front desk was very polite
Marcus, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It just was not a good experience. The front desk was helpful and nice but the property is extremely rundown. The air conditioner was so loud and went off and on throughout the night until I just turned it off and tried to sleep in the heat. After a terrible night, I just wanted a cup of coffee. However, there is not a coffee maker in the room and there is none available in the lobby..
Timothy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The overall stay was great. Its an affordable budget motel close to central Phoenix, AZ. It allowed me to basically walk anywhere I wanted.
8-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was an average low budget hotel but had clean rooms and friendly staff. There was a lot of blight and homeless in the area but was close to entertainment and food options.

Great Budget Hotel
Roberto, 1-night trip

You definitely get what you pay for. Not very clean, bed is comfortable & the location is convenient. Pretty great for if you’re just stopping by in town but not amazing quality. Staff was pretty nice & reasonably priced for what you get
