Charming!

Super cool old vintage hotel with lots of character and stories. Lobby was gorgeous, staff was helpful, super close to the venue that we were going to. Will be staying again!

Downtown Phoenix

The room was very clean. This very historic building was very entertaining. There are many pictures to look at and read about the history of the hotel. Parking was questionable since you are downtown Phoenix, but manageable. Plenty of places to eat on your way to watch a concert or professional game.

Convenient

Very vintage but loved it. We stayed there for a concert at the phx arena and it was within walking distance.

The staff was amazing the hotel is nice it was dated and you could tell it was dated the only problem I had was you could hear the neighbor all night long talking on his phone because the walls are so thin and you could hear everything outside on the street also you could hear dragging of chairs over the room all evening until the bars closed.

Its an older hotel with an interesting history and near good restaurants but elements of the room are starting to feel dirty/grimey.

Poor AC, uncomfortable bed, you can hear everything happening in your neighbor's rooms and in the hallway. So uncomfortable, we drove home for the night. The restaurant was delicious! Would eat there again

wonderful sight, wonder location, but not so wonderful for a minor inconvenience: there was no refrigerator or microwave in our room.

This is a great hotel that is close to everything. The only thing that would have been better is if they provided their own parking.

It’s an amazing old historic hotel. I would never stay anywhere else in downtown Phoenix. I love the hotel and have used it three times. The staff is friendly and nice. The location is great. The bars and restaurants within 5 blocks are plentiful. But the rooms are small and don’t have modern furnishings so if a guest needs a fancier place then this probably isn’t their spot.

Absolutely loved this hotel. Definitely worth a look to see all the pictures and information on each floor. Clean and nice and staff was very friendly.
Shawn, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a mid range hotel, not anything special but it was in a great spot. No air conditioning so that may be a problem in the hotter months. Clean, safe, good spot to crash. Parking is rough though, only parking garages or street.
Luz, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

We couldn't say there because the air conditioner was not working.
David, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The location was accessable to a parking garage as well as the many sites of downtown. I do understand that it is a historical hotel but the inability to control the temperature of my room in a city like downtown Phoenix was shocking. It was car too warm in the room. The beds were hard and uncomfortable and the shower was less than inadequate. The staff was kind and quick to check in and out.
Samantha, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

There were a few issues, there is no mini fridge, the ac barley made it cool and we were having issues with the door locking system
