It is indoors. That is mostly all that I need. It is two blocks from the federal courthouse, which is where I work when I am in Phoenix. It is right on Van Buren and the walls are thin, so if you've never been in a big city before, it might not be your cup of tea. Zippy's, Cibo, Vin and maybe even Taco Boys are all within walking distance depending on your tolerance for walking. Taco Boys is a bit of a walk, but they are grilling over a wood fire so it is worth the trip. The bed, shower, toilet, refrigerator, microwave and wifi all work. If your needs are more upscale than that, there are plenty of places that are happy to charge you more.

The property was close to a lot of downtown businesses and very clean. Me and my friend enjoyed our stay. The bed was amazing to sleep on.

Would not recommend this hotel for those with a young family. Hotel is located in a questionable area with bars on the windows. Floors were extremely dirty; immediately after showering, quick walk around the room and bottom of feet were covered. Looks like the hotel was redone but cheapy done at best.

Friendly service. Nice remodel.

Old hotel but the room was nicely remodeled and outside was clean. Service was great. No ice machine. The bed was comfy but the sheets were rough. Our room had a water leak in front of the sink at one point. The floor was damaged and when stepped on it would sink in. It can get loud being on a busy street with sirens and cars.

Van Buren delight!

This hotel is so convenient, directly across the street from the Van Buren theater. We parked our car in their lot and walked everywhere. The room is large, with a fridge, microwave, coffeepot and comfortable beds. It seems to be a property going under some upgrades and I wish them the best of luck. I will definitely stay here again.

The hotel (really MOTEL) looked nothing like the picture online. When i showed the picture to the manager he said that they have not "updated" the pics. uponb cliser look it became clear that the pics of the pool area were completly CGI - what a farce! i stayed one night with all the LOUND NOISE FROM THE BAR ACROSS THE STREET AND THE PAPER THIN WALLS WHEN THE OTHER GUESTS ARRIVED BACK to their room. I got zero sleep and check out the next day

Amenities of the property are commensurate with the price, but the cleanliness, along with the courtesy, and helpfulness of the staff, is five star. The location is excellent for attending any downtown event. Parking is easy and free.

Last resort stay

Location is convenient but horrible for rest. The hotel is across from nightlife that spills into the streets, It is like you are in the club when you're exhausted for sleep. It was a sold out weekend so the office wasn't able to move our room to the back. The ice machine broken, the shower is remodeled but horribly and water gets everywhere. Parking is available but very tight and limited. If you are in desperate need for a one night stay it is DECENT, however rest is rough and the amenities are slim to none.

This is a good place to come if you’re on a budget and don’t mind having the extras. There were no chairs or places to store clothing. The beds sit up high and no chairs to sit on to help get ready for us with short legs , had to sit on toilet seat. Towels were stained. Toilet leaked water. Hard to park when they are at full capacity. They are super friendly and the cleaning ladies do a good job. Just your basic if you’re looking on a budget.

Not bad for a under $100 per night motel

This is a good hotel for a one-night stay -- especially for those attending a concert at one of the nearby DT Phoenix venues. But I would not recommend this motel for a long stay because the amenities are minimal, the neighborhood is shady at night and it's noisy.
