Top Phoenix Hotel Reviews

GreenTree Hotel Phoenix West

2/10 Terrible

"Tried to check in early but no front desk available around noon so came back at 5 pm. The carpet in the room is outdated and dirty. After I took a shower, I dried my hair with towel then suddenly something poked my finger. I found a sewing needle in my towel. Last one , when my husband and I ready to go to bed, we found hairs on my bed. We called the room service but no available service to bring a new sheet. My husband went downstairs and gave the bedsheets. As we. about to change the sheets, it was a single bedsheet not kingsize so my husband went back downstairs to pick up a kingsize sheet. It was a one night hotel experience."

Hotel San Carlos - Downtown Convention Center

6/10 Okay

"Fan in the room wasn’t cleaned in idk how long. When we booked they never said anything about the pools being remodeled and out of order. We looked forward to using the pool at our stay. Front staff looked put out when we asked questions. We had to get our keys re- magnetized everytime we left the room. They don’t valet and the parking is pretty terrible as well. We ended up valeting at another hotel. Pretty cool hotel with historic value but wouldn’t stay again."
