So.. I won't repeat the rest of the reviews on here. Take it from me its all the same. Full disclosure: I did actually stay here for close to a month on and off so that says something to their credit.
Anyway straight up, if you can get this place on the cheap and need a place to crash its ok. It is what it is. Its a thrice renovated Days Inn next to the gay bars in central Phoenix. If you go there with that expectation anything past that might pleasantly surprise you. When I actually saw the place and compared it to the picture I had a new appreciation for the photoshop skills of the web guy, just sayin...
The room was clean enough ( except I found remnants of "adult toys" under the bed, yuck) and the water is hot. I was there to sleep and it fit the bill good enough.
The hall ways have that old Days Inn smell from millions of drug fueled parties from back when you could smoke in hotels rooms, and a lot of the clients seems to be there to sleep off a bender that lasted a few days as they walked back to the bus station but it was quiet and the air conditioner worked well.
They charged $59 a night due to the construction and I would say that it was a deal when you factor in the included health club membership across the street and continental breakfast in the morning.
News flash... they are calling it hotel 502 now and seem to be gutting the rooms. It looks like a complete renovation so who knows maybe they are going to correct the sins of the past?
Last thing: The room pricing seems to be negotiable as quoted me a range of prices and occasionally they tried to adjust the price and I talked them out of it, so you might wanna get your bargaining hat out.
