Historic hotel is good for short vacations
It's an interesting, old hotel, but not good for long stays or business travel. The wifi was so weak I had to find somewhere else to conduct my work because it kept cutting out. There was also a lack of working outlets for charging my devices. In the bathroom, the high-amp outlet for the hair dryer was above the medicine cabinet, and I had to stand on the toilet to reach it (I'm 5'3"). Finally, there isn't temperature control in each room- mine was warm enough that I found it difficult to sleep and the only temperature moderator was a ceiling fan.

Good not great. Nice place if the timing is right
The staff was fantastic and it’s in a convenient area. It is clean and interesting being an Historic hotel. Rooms are small but not too small. At least in my room, there was no temp control at all. You get a ceiling fan and a vent blowing whatever temp air the hotel thinks you need. I was a little warm but not terrible. But because of this I would not stay here In summer or even if it was supposed to be hot. My stay was in January.

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!!!
Outside view!
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.

4/10 Fair

Quaint older building. Not exactly dirty, not spotless but with lots of character. No thermostat for AC but the room was comfortable. Shower spikes to scalding every 3 - 5 minutes., maybe when someone flushes a toilet in the motel. Overall a cool place to stay. WIFI is worthless. Can not even download your email. Staff said the motel was full causing the problem. Problem is antiquated set up. Each floor has a different SSID. If you need to do any business online, this is not going to work for you.

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.
