Hotel has character and is well situated for downtown Phoenix and the convention centre. Rooms were comfortable, but wifi connection was poor. Centrico Mexican restaurant attached to this hotel is excellent - totally recommend.

Would stay again!!
Overall a good stay! Price was right, location was perfect for an event at Chase Field! It was very clean, but the beds and pillows were very uncomfortable to us, unfortunately. Staff was great and the Irish pub next door was outstanding! Parking was kind of a pain. We had to park in a parking garage and they do not validate any parking. But again, overall for the price we would probably do it again!!!

Cute clean bathroom!

Wifi Issues
Kinda upset about the wifi. The wifi didn't really work in my room, and I had to end up using a hotspot.

What it is: clean, friendly and helpful staff, old (including the bathroom fixtures, furniture, etc), stocked with the basics What is isn't: luxury hotel, haunted (I didn't even know the story until my last night there)

The hotel is conveniently located. However, the internet is unreliable. While there is Wi-Fi on each floor, the signal is very weak and often disconnects. I asked the reception about this, and they explained that it’s due to the high occupancy of the hotel.

Place was good. No separate ac units in the rooms so not recommend for the middle of the summer If I would have known that prior I wouldn't have stayed along with the pool being empty and out of service.

Loos like it has not been updated since the 1930s. Great location, historic building, needs a few million in upgrades.

4/10 Fair

The property was vintage in appearance and furnishings. As the hotel was opened in 1928, this was to be expected. The staff was friendly and the room was neat. What I did not like was how hot the hotel and room were due to limited air conditioning. Per the front desk, the rooms share a centralized unit and thus there is not ability to cool the room down. The only thing hotter than the room was the hallways. As you can imagine, in 110 degree weather, this was very uncomfortable.
