The Spotlight on Central Phoenix Hotel

Affordable Comfort Steps from Phoenix’s Best Concerts

Modern convenience meets budget-friendly charm at the Central Phoenix Hotel, located in the heart of downtown. Just a short walk or quick ride from major music venues, this no-frills hotel provides everything you need for a smooth concert weekend — from comfy, air-conditioned rooms to free WiFi and parking.

Why Concert-goers love it

It doesn’t get much more central than this. With Comerica Theater just a 10-minute walk away and both Talking Stick Resort Arena and Chase Field within 2 miles, you’re never far from the action. The 24-hour reception makes late check-ins a breeze after a night out, and guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere despite the downtown location. Free parking is a major bonus, especially if you're driving in for a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends wanting a budget base near the venues
- Solo travelers ticking off a big-name artist
- Couples planning a low-cost weekend in the city
- Fans looking for a quiet spot to recharge post-concert
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want location over luxury

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel itself doesn't offer on-site dining beyond a daily continental breakfast, you'll find plenty of late-night food spots within walking distance downtown. Each room includes a microwave and mini-fridge, ideal for storing snacks or leftovers after the show. Vending machines on-site help curb late-night cravings.

Nightlife Options

You're right in the thick of downtown Phoenix's nightlife. Walk or rideshare to bars, lounges, and live music spots after your main event. While the hotel keeps things quiet inside, the surrounding area has plenty of energy for those who want to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel's location, free parking, and value for money. Many say it’s a perfect crash pad after a concert, with just the essentials — clean rooms, good A/C, and reliable WiFi. The easy check-in process and friendly staff also get frequent shoutouts.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is simple and a bit dated in design — don’t expect luxury finishes. Some guests mention that the continental breakfast is basic, and the surrounding area can feel a bit quiet late at night, though most find it safe.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, no-fuss stay near Phoenix’s top concert venues, Central Phoenix Hotel hits the right notes.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Clean but....

Liked: We thought the employees were nice, check in was easy and liked the hotel room itself was clean. Price was nice.
Disliked: Saw a cop car and a cop walking out when we first arrived. It was loud all night sat & sun nights. Pounding slamming. Dude upstairs and his downstairs neighbor began fighting with each over noise. If you see this understand this place is the hood like two gentleman patrolling around their door and sitting in outdoor chair shirtless type ghetto.

Central Phoenix Hotel is old...

Liked: I was chasing price, not amenities. It's an older hotel, so nothing surprised me. Everyone was pleasant.
Disliked: The A/C could have been better. Actually, the hallway was cooler than the room. Having worked in a hotel in the valley before, it's not surprising for A/C issues during summer nights.
