Was in Phoenix for a basketball convention. This hotel was perfect for my stay. It was in close walking distance to the Convention Center. The room was very clean. Housekeeping is top notch. the hotel is an older hotel but priced cheaper than hotels in the area.

Stayed one night, going to a concert at the van Buren. Convient walking distance and close to train for airport. I know it is a historic hotel but they should update chair and bed in room, uncomfortable and lumpy. The shower temp was too hot and hard to adjust. The channel selection on the TV was weird. Felt like I was in the late 1900s, only infomercials, QVC, and old reruns
