| - This hotel was loaded with history, plaques stocked full of information lined the walls; However, if you want a restful comfortable night, you may want to stay somewhere else. First off, the reception we got was just flat out rude. I wasn't sure where to park and the lady at the desk tried to give me directions without naming streets. When I told her I needed clear directions, she looked at me like I was totally stupid. Well, I don't know my way around downtown Phoenix. Anyway the parking lot as it turns out, is clear around the block and if you are in good shape and 110° weather (at 7:30 pm) it's a good jaunt. We were also told there was a valet, but the only lot in sight was self pay. We saw the other front desk lady walking past our parked car. She commented that she was glad we found the lot!?!?
Our room-- Ahh the room: tiny, musky, the hard (need I say... hard) bed filled almost the entire space which came with hard square corners we kept knocking out toes on. The bathroom: antique and tiny. If you are NFL size, you might not fit in the shower or at least have room to turn around in the bathroom. And, there is absolutely no where to set your stuff except on the closet across the bathroom on the other side of the hall on the top shelf. And be warned, there isn't many electric outlets in the bathroom, but an isobar was present by the desk.
The gym: if you see other peoples photos you'll notice there is a cable machine. Only one side was working, as a result I didn't do any weightlifting. Also there is a beautiful treadmill, recumbent bike and an elliptical. Elliptical never did light up and work, but the room is large airy and comfortable to be in. I'm not sure if the treadmill is functioning or not. There weren't any towels or cleaning supplies on the second day I went into work out, so I had to go back to the room to get a towel. But there is a flatscreen TV and all you people who like a little entertainment. The pool: is quite lovely and outside on the top of the second floor. I only stuck my foot in, and the top step seemed a little oily. But the water looked clean enough, probably from everybody's oil from Sun bathing.
A good night sleep??? Well we stayed here two nights, AND I am here to report we both didn't fall asleep till 1 AM each night and slept in almost till 10 o'clock each morning we were so exhausted. It is not that it's so noisy there, it's just the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. I mean everything! We heard the neighbors sneezing, cell phones ringing at midnight, and luckily not much else if you know what I mean.
So to sum up, if you want to stay in a place that has historical information about Elvis and Monroe; Then go ahead and do so for the experience. There is even a plaque on the third floor about a lady who committed suicide off the roof of the building and how she haunts the place to this day. Personally, I would walk in and take a look around for an hour and move on down the street so you can get a good night's sleep, a room with a view and living space and a shower that you can actually breathe and move around in.
