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.

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.

Historic old hotel. Very comfy bed and good variety of pillows. Good location. Convenient and safe. Did not see any ghosts, thankfully! Good price point for us.

Stayed for 3 nights. It's an historic hotel so everything is as old as my gramma's china. But that is the appeal. I will say the bed was spectacularly comfortable. I kept an eye out for the ghost lady in white but did not see her.

This is a charming hotel in the heart of the downtown district . My only complaint is the hard, uncomfortable pillows. Staying just one night. If my stay would have been longer, i would have asked for replacements. But the room was clean, staff friendly and the area was close to much activity.

Great location
1-night trip

8/10

The service was excellent, check-in was efficient. The bed was a bit small and not very comfortable; but it was fine. I wanted to stay at this hotel because it is old and historic; so it was what I expected! The bathroom is dated, but everything was clean. We stayed because we went to a comedy show at Footprint Center. It was an excellent place to stay in walking distance to basketball & baseball & restaurants.

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.
1-night trip

6/10

The location was perfect near the convention center and close to restaurants which was very convenient. The staff was very helpful and friendly as well. The hotel had lots of character and I do appreciate the historic nature of it. The biggest drawback is that walls are so incredibly thin and you can hear conversations and next door neighbors through the wall vents in the bedroom and bathroom. Not sure how this can be mitigated but definitely bring ear plugs.
