    This hotel is disgusting! Roaches in all 3 rooms! Very dirty rooms and sheets. Very run down. This was just a quick overnight cause plans changed and had to stay somewhere close to the airport. DO NOT RECOMMEND! Strange activity going on in the rooms and parking lots! Wish I didn’t spend over $250 to stay here.

    Room was dirty, bathroom had pee all over the toilet. The person at the front desk was rude and was no help.

    Cleanliness Non working tv and remote Ants in the room Non working refrigerator Non closing shower doors Hair all over bathroom

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Checked in the room was over 90 degrees upon walking inside. The ac didn’t work except for 10 minute intervals the room was not cold all night once. There was NO toilet paper an empty roll left on the holder. Used crusty lotion bottles that should be replaced every single stay. Bathroom was disgusting and they do not have any ice either. Worst hotel experience I’ve EVER had by far.

    Very close to car rental and airport N/a

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It was a nice presentation and I got interrupted for a new mattress 🙄otherwise it was nice.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Room was nice size and a good location near the metro I walked on the floor and my feet got filthy. My AC didn't work initially, but they did get it fixed. They were changing the locks so that took about an hour that I couldn't use my room. The pool was unusable - dirty and ducks swimming in it.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Big spacious room The rate was ridiculous, place was dirty and big roaches in the room.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    I have no complaints.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It was adequate for the money. Clean and safe. Do not expect a luxury hotel at this price and you will be fine. I have no complaints.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Room was dirty, no lights, mold in the fridge, bugs, toilet paper looked like it fell in water was dried out and put on roll, shower handle broken. Overall horrible experience for the price paid.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The tv didn’t work. The ac didn’t work. The electrical outlets next to the bed didn’t work.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The bed frame was not secure and was made of metal that made a loud banging noise with any movement other than a simple roll over. WE called the desk and they said all their beds were the same.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It’s not a five star property obviously. It’s not even a 3 star. But it’s as convenient fur me as they come. I can pay $5 per day to park my vehicle there while on business trips. It’s a mile from the airport. Minimizing Ubers and aggravation. Rooms are clean and sufficient. Will continue to stay there every time I have a trip leaving Phoenix.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    There was a mouse in my room

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The room was super hot and took a few hours to cool off. Not well maintained and there were what looked like cigarette marks on the walls. The front desk personnel were very nice tho. Heard random drunk people screaming at 1am. Booked the room because it was close to the airport and The Spot parking. Would not recommend.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Reception area of the Hotel smelled so moldy when pointed out to the night manager copped an attitude. This hotel wants to charge you up front $40 for incidentals instead of holding the card in case.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    It was horrible and not as advertised . No free breakfast or other amenities. Was dirty and disgusting. Horrible bed. Not handicap accessible even though it was supposed to be. AC didn't work correctly. Will be reporting this place for violations

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The location is nice, was a short walk to the metro/transit, felt safe, lots of parking. I appreciate a “vintage vibe”, but this motel is just simply “vintage”. The luggage rack (broken) was from the 70’s I’m sure. The rooms are very spacious however. I had chose this hotel for the outdoor pool, since it is Phoenix after all, but was very disappointed as the pool was quite dirty, not heated, no hot tub and no pool towels. I managed to find one lounge chair that wasn’t broken or covered in bird poop. We didn’t try the breakfast.
