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!!!

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.

The ac is horrible. Not cold just cool enough to sleep it was 79 in the room.
Expedia did not mention construction or the pool being closed. The staff is nice. The restaurant off the lobby was very good. The hotel is close to everything downtown.

We stayed here for a concert that was at the footprint center. It was within walking distance and we love haunted hotels so it was a win win. We didn’t experience anything haunted but it was still fun. The staff was amazing!

This place advertised itself as having A/C but it does not. At 103 degrees , you really can’t sleep in that hotel. Too bad because it could be nice but it is rundown and not worth staying at.
