On the positive side, the bed was very comfortable. On the negative side, the motel is definitely dated. The carpet is old/dirty and could stand to be replaced. My husband tried to shower but it wasn't draining at all so he had to keep shutting off the water. It took from 8 PM to 3 AM for the shower to finally drain.

It was alr, the girl in the from was very helpful though, she did what she could to try and make us comfy even though I wasn’t too happy with the room, wasn’t the cleanest so made my stay a bit uncomfy. I think probably best for more of a one night stay instead of 2-3 nights.

A little disappointed

The place is pretty run down. They did have new floors but the wall were in bad shape and the whole place needs painting and fixing. It was a no smoking room but it wasn’t always and still smelled of smoke.

Good Central Phoenix Hotel Stay

Good basic hotel stay for two nights with comfortable bed, clean sheets and bedding, clean bathroom with tub and shower. The TV had no reception but it was OK because I needed the rest with no distractions. Some of the neighbors both above the room and adjacent to the room were a little loud, but I managed to get good night's sleep on both nights.
