This was the perfect location if you are attending the concert across the street at The Van Buren! Had a balcony overlooking the venue and next to the venue I was able to order pizza and fries from Ziggys! It had a microwave, fridge and blow drier! Would stay again.

I was in town for a concert and the venue was a 5-minute walk from the hotel. I stayed in this area before and the hotels were bad. The Central Phoenix is at the time I stayed going through renovations. The room was updated and clean. The one thing I missed was "coffee", you'd think it would be easy to put a 2-cup brewer in the room. Also, a safe would be nice. The staff were nice.

Basic hotel, but was a bit dirty, my room was missing a smoke detector and the latch/lock was broken. These issues were eventually fixed, but should not have existed. Obviously a mom and pop kind of place, and the proprietors were friendly, but still quite lacking.
