It is a good place for the price. The first night we had a room on Van Buren Street. It was too noisy. There was a rock concert going on and it was Monday night. There is a bar with people outside who were very noisy and you have the traffic noise. The next night we had a room next to the parking lot and it was great. The staff was very helpful. They fixed our TV and gave us Kleenex. I would stay again.

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.

It was alright. This hotel was much cheaper than any other hotel in the area, like half the price. The building doesn't look great, but my room was somewhat clean and I felt safe in the area. I don't regret staying here given the price, you pay what you get. My room was pretty clean, although not perfect.

The location is within walking distance of many ideal dining options as well as the state Capitol. However, the poor quality of the establishment and the noisy surroundings doesn’t merit the rate they charge.

There was dirt, bugs, and such potent chemical smell I couldn’t stay. I was told I would be refunded as I wasn’t able to do the chemicals, but no refund. Also down town many homeless roaming around and slowly checking out my vehicle and watching as I was going in and off it. Didn’t feel safe. The attendant was nice but gave low rate for the lack of refund they had said would occur.

No elevator

Generally all was pleasant about this downtown Phoenix lodging EXCEPT there was NO elevator so we had to lug our heavy load up to the 2nd floor. We were pleased that there wasn't breakfast offered because we wanted to eat at Matts Big Breakfast nearby...best bacon I've ever eaten!

Well, where do I begin to rave about this little gem, located in the heart of downtown Phoenix's historic "Auto Repair District." No, I'm not gonna knock the location, saying something is "in a bad area" is just code for racists to use with each other. The location was fine, just a few blocks from the light rail and an amazing brewery across the street. What I will knock is the hotel itself. Nevermind that it was 118 degrees outside, the owners did not feel the need to use AC in the lobby or the halls. The room itself smelled like a hamster cage, and was disgusting. I'm no stranger to staying at "literally the cheapest hotel on Expedia" and I get what that generally comes with, but this place was even worse than what I expected. The desk staff were so rude, to the point that it seemed like they were going out of their way to show how much of a nuisance it was to have guests staying there. How dare I ask you for a bottle of water at 2 in the afternoon? And they also were not wearing masks at any point in my stay, even walking around the property. At least housekeeping had good attitudes. There were a total of four available electrical outlets in the entire room, none of which were near the bed, which in 2020 is of course a major hassle. I mean, you get what you pay for, but I would have gladly spent an extra $5 per night to stay at "the next cheapest place on Expedia" had I known how awful this property was.

I liked the mini-fridge and microwave. Also, great cable television. On the downside, the shower had poor water pressure.
