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.

Great value for money in...

Liked: The location is great if you are are going to a DBacks game, Phoenix Art Museum and/or City Centre. The staff was very friendly during check in and throughout the stay. They he room was big, with good A/C. Hot water and good water pressure. Close to the tram with super easy access to PHX airpot. Great value form money.
Disliked: A bit noisy from a bar across the street.
