I stayed at an economical spot in Central Phoenix just 5 minutes from the Footprint Center, and it was perfect for a short stay. The place was clean, quiet, and had everything I needed for a night or two. It’s not fancy, but if you’re on a budget and want to be close to downtown attractions, it’s a great option. I’d definitely recommend it for solo travelers or anyone just looking for a simple, comfortable place to crash.

A good low cost option in downtown Phoenix that is close to transit. But you pay for what you get. Rooms are falling apart, shower had no hot water. The area lost power for 20mins but the hotel was without power for 3 hours one day.

Nonsmoking room smelled like smoke and the a/c was terrible. We needed a room for about 8 hours before heading to the airport for a very early flight. The location was good for food options.
