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!

4/10 Fair

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.

Dirty, smelly and insecure.
The property felt insecure, gates didnt lock. The room smelled bad and it was supposed to be non smoking. We looked at a second room that was even dirtier. We didnt use the room at all, contacted hotels.com, got a refund and went to a different hotel.

The room was big. and hotel is located downtown. The breakfast was very poor, and there was no breakfast room! Guests had to take food to their room.

Just needed a place to spend the night near the capitol and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg. Was a little concerned with the location. The hotel is older and looks its age from the outside. I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the hotel. The room appeared to be freshly painted. The bathroom fixtures appeared to have been recently renovated. The room was exceptionally clean. From the outside, it almost looks like anyone could access the second floor rooms from the street, but actually to access any of the rooms you have to go into the hotel and pass by the front desk. So, the hotel felt secure. Breakfast was probably below average but there was a little bit there.

Clean and friendly
All and all our stay was great. The hotel lobby and room was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would say the only downsides were breakfast was literally; coffee, juice, 2 kinds of cereal and a waffle maker. Also, though this was not the hotels fault, there is a club across the street where the music was BLARING on friday night until 2 am. We could seriosuly hear the music and bass through our hotel wall. We called down to the front desk about 1am just to ask when they were going to stop. And they said that they are actually not allowed to be doing that past 10pm and have already called the police multiple times on the club to complain. The police did nothing. Like I said, this wasn't the hotels fault and they did everything they could. but it did affect our ability to sleep and rest there.
