This hotel was awful. The neighborhood is very sketchy looking. The outside looks like a motel. When checking in the receptionist said our room number out loud while others were checking in. The room seemed unclean and unfinished. We left hours after checking in because of the state of the room. Mold in the bathroom, generally unclean room with a lot of dust in the corners. Overall would not recommend

The hotel/motel is in a rough part of town. Room was likely renovated in the last 5 years but there were holes in the drywall. Bring ear plugs if you want to sleep, sirens and the club across the street will keep you up. There is a goodwill next door if you want to shop.....

I don't understand how this hotel has such a high rating on Expedia. It is dilapidated and in desperate need of upgrades. The room was so uncomfortable and uninviting. The AC unit looked so dirty and old I didn't even want to turn it on. The bar across the street blasts music until 2am on weekends. Do not recommend unless you're in a pinch like I was.

Upgraded and clean on the inside but a very small room, outside is not as nice but it’s downtown so expected unless you pay for a 4 star hotel. There was construction across the street so it was a little difficult to get into the parking lot. Decent prices in a convenient area.

This was a great value. Our 9 pm flight was cancelled and we were rebooked for the following morning. We just needed a place to sleep near the airport. The gentleman at the desk was very pleasant. The basic room had what we needed. It was clean and quiet and the bed was comfortable.

Room was ok. Bathrooms were certainly not the best, but survivable. Location is rough. I hear a lot of chaos outside of my room each night and had a healthy concern. I wouldn't stay here with little kids due to the surroundings. A good amount of recreational drug users around the way. No judgement if your into that...just not what I'm trying to deal with.

I stayed at the Downtown Phoenix Hotel. Jan 18-22. I would agree with other reviews, book a double bed if you can. The Single Queen is very small, not much room at all. If traveling solo like me, it's doable. It was clean on arrival, but had to remind front desk about housekeeping as they missed me a few times. Sandi ? The front desk person was very pleasant and helpful. Also the area has a homeless population, and seems sketchy, but I had no problems, just be aware and cautious like anywhere. Maybe budget a bit higher and try elsewhere if possible.
