Time for an update
This hotel badly needs an update. I understand all the nostalgia but you can keep that and still upgrade. The pluses are the location. It's close to everything. The daily service was more than adequate. The negatives are numerous.My shower made a screeching noise when used and the water temp fluctuated throughout the duration. There is no ac/heat control in the room. There is no cable TV. There is no coffee in the lobby, just your room and servings were inadequate. WiFi was terrible. Time to renovate and raise your prices.

Are you serious with the shower?
As a 44 year old dude traveling solo on business, I don’t need a luxurious hotel experience. All I want is a clean/comfortable room, a clean bathroom, and the ability to take a nice shower. The location is great even if you can’t throw a rock in DT Phoenix after dark without hitting a homeless tweaker. The staff was friendly and checking in and out was easy. I was in town for a big convention and not surprised that all the hotels were charging an arm and a leg. I paid $300/night, hopefully that’s not normal. The room was small, nothing pretty but that’s ok. The bed was below average but again, not a big deal. The bathroom was what I’d expect from a $70/night motel. My real problem with the room was the shower. I don’t know about the other rooms but in room 717, you have no control over the water temperature. It goes from cold to scalding back to cold about every 60 seconds all by itself. I’ve stayed in hotels in Europe that were in 800 year old buildings that did not have this problem. A tiny little room that looks and smells old where you cannot even take a decent shower for $300/night is madness. I highly recommend staying somewhere else.

Great location (to the convention center). There’s no individual temperature control (which I didn’t know beforehand). Everything was fine (temperature). I was on the 4th floor and Wi-Fi was fairly unstable unfortunately. It didn’t impact my stay, but consistent WiFi would be helpful. Staff downstarls was great!

This historical hotel is fascinating and beautiful. I didn’t get his name, but I love the gentleman that checked us in and checked us out. His passion for the property and historical knowledge really added to my experience.

Unique old hotel. Really could use an upgrade with pillows and beds. Loved that there was a bottle opener in the bathroom.
