“Clean, Convenient, and Surprisingly Quiet!
I had a great stay at the Best Western Downtown Phoenix. You really can’t beat the location—it’s right in the heart of downtown, making it super easy to walk to nearby restaurants, sports venues, and local spots without needing to worry about constantly grabbing an Uber.
Despite being in such a central spot, the hotel was surprisingly quiet and peaceful at night. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the bed made for a great night's sleep. Breakfast in the morning was a huge plus: hot, fresh, and with plenty of options to get the day started right.
What really set it apart, though, was the staff. Everyone at the front desk was friendly, welcoming, and quick to help with anything we needed. Parking was also straightforward and convenient, which is often a headache downtown.
If you’re looking for a comfortable, stress-free, and affordable place to stay in downtown Phoenix, this is a solid choice. ”

I have never had such a restful sleep due to the fact that our room was very quiet and our AC unit whispered throughout the night with coolness.

“I booked a prepaid room. We had to move it out one more day. When I called, I was told it would be another 55.00. I was a GM most of my life, most recently for Best Western, and I never would have treated my customers the way I was treated over that. Not only from the AGM from the hotel but also from the customer relations of BW. And then on top of that, I get charged $18 for parking?????? That’s insane! In all my years of being a GM I never worked for a hotel that charged for parking! The one and only bright spot of that hotel was the clerk on duty named MJ. I am appalled at what has happened to customer service in the hospitality industry!!! ”

“Very comfortable bed. Nice staff. The bathroom counter was not cleaned and there was what appeared to be coffee drips and little spills all over the counter. As other reviewers have mentioned, the daily parking fee is not called out or mentioned by front desk staff. The individual that checked me in even asked if I had a vehicle, and I said yes and they said you will need this parking pass. That would have been the time to clarify or mention there is an additional parking fee and not just glossing over it even if it is in writing elsewhere. There are nicer properties for the same daily rate if you add up this property's daily rate and their daily parking fee. The hotel is in a nice proximity to the convention center, but having the front entry doors locked 24/7 is a bit concerning and I have never seen that at any property I have ever stayed at.”
