It looks like there were stains on the shower curtain. The floors and doors like dirty and both the toilet paper roll weren’t a new roll and one looked like it had fallen on the dirty floor and was dirty through half the roll. The main lights didn’t work, the ice machine didn’t work and those coffee stations and drink shown in the photos weren’t even there.

The area was somewhat sketchy and dirty. The room had a strong odor that made it difficult for me to fall asleep, and there was a lot of noise.

The workers were really sweet, the hotel is of course a pretty bare bones hotel which was what we wanted. We just needed a place to drop our bags and rest our heads between convention events. The beds were comfy enough, but there were no actual duvets in the duvet covers. I get it's Arizona, but i think a lighter duvet or a summer quilt would've been nice. It pretty much just felt like a regular bed sheet.. small thing but something i always look for is that there's no full length mirror. Given the price these are things of note, rather than complaints. We got free parking but there was no request for our car info and we took the last spot (which i don't think was an actual spot) so idk what we would've done if we didn't have a space. I do think they should monitor the lot better

Needs repair, no hot water.

This hotel hasn't been updated since the 70's it looks like. The shower was tiny like 2ft x 2ft and NO HOT WATER, so cold showers only. The closet was bigger than the shower. Parking was tight. So tight I couldn't get into my car at one point and (I'm disabled) had to crawl over the center from the passenger side. The bed had no soft left in it. It was just springs you get what you pay for at this motel.

The TV didn’t work with the remote had to go get the staff to turn it on. The drawer in the night stand had ashes in it wasn’t cleaned. The restroom is not very clean around the toilet and the bottom of the sink.

Clean quiet room. Clean linens, good air conditioning. Great staff! Bathroom had mold on ceiling of shower. Check out was weird, signs directed guests to leave key in a box on the counter that was basically open to anyone who walks in off the street. I did have a great night's sleep and the location was perfect for my visit.

Neighborhood is a little rough but no worse than most downtown areas. Parking was good. Rooms are very basic. Old but mostly clean. Staff is friendly.
