You can throw a rock and hit The Van Buren. Concerts are better when you just have to walk across the street at the end!

We chose this property for the proximity to a concert venue. It’s a no frills budget hotel. A good value, clean, comfortable enough, with decent beds, large TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, everything in working order. Easy, friendly check-in.

You can tell it was an upgraded motel but for the best. It’s cute and clean, however, we needed to wash our clothes and the machine was a chained machine in the walkway. I wasnt expecting anything luxurious but didn’t feel expect homeless in the alley and around the corner and across the street. Great for the night.

This property is close to Phoenix's Convention Center, 4 min drive, 16 min walk. I used "Waymo" for transportation since temperatures reached 108-112°F during my stay. The hotel is close to all amenities, and a 9 min drive to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Despite the heat and severe thunderstorm warnings, my stay at this hotel was VERY pleasant, and the staff is WONDERFUL!
