It was alr, the girl in the from was very helpful though, she did what she could to try and make us comfy even though I wasn’t too happy with the room, wasn’t the cleanest so made my stay a bit uncomfy. I think probably best for more of a one night stay instead of 2-3 nights.

Good Central Phoenix Hotel Stay
Good basic hotel stay for two nights with comfortable bed, clean sheets and bedding, clean bathroom with tub and shower. The TV had no reception but it was OK because I needed the rest with no distractions. Some of the neighbors both above the room and adjacent to the room were a little loud, but I managed to get good night's sleep on both nights.

Definitely will book again!
I booked this room as it was right across the street from the concert venue I was going to that night. The staff was super friendly and the Lobby was clean! The vending machine was decently stocked (I’d have LOVED an energy drink option but that’s just a personal preference). The room was decent, it either was or definitely had been a smoking room in the past as it had a little lingering smell but it wasn’t bothersome at all. The rooms are a little outdated but the bed was big and the pillows were comfy! I’ll absolutely book here every time I go to a show at The Van Buren, which is often!!

Bad neigh orgood
The property is in a terrible neighborhood. When arrived there were homeless in the parking lot. I rode through the parking lot and kept going. Got another hotel room.

A little disappointed
The place is pretty run down. They did have new floors but the wall were in bad shape and the whole place needs painting and fixing. It was a no smoking room but it wasn’t always and still smelled of smoke.

Even worse
So... I stayed here a couple of weeks before and was not impressed, but decided to give it another shot because the location is convenient... but it was EVEN WORSE! The TV didn't work and I had to stand there for 15 minutes while the guy tried to fix it even though I asked after 10 if he could just move me to a different room. I want happy with the quality of the room a couple of weeks ago, but (again) this one was worse. I'll definitely be paying more for rooms and travel to where I need to go because this place isn't worth even the low price they charge.

Bad Experience...
I booked my reservation through Expedia and paid it. When i arrived there i was told i needed to pay a $300.00 deposit before I could get my room. I didn't have the money for that, so i couldn't stay.
I didn't notice any notification online that the hotel owner required that to get my room.
I contacted Customer service and was told my booking fee was non-refundable. So I lost my money, my stay there, and time & money it took to get there.

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.
