Why Concert-goers love it

Getting to your show is stress-free thanks to the light rail and Sky Train, both just two blocks away. Whether you're heading to a stadium concert or a downtown club, you’ll be there in minutes—no need to worry about parking or rideshares. After the show, return to a quiet, low-key hotel that’s far enough from the nightlife buzz for a restful night. With flexible check-in at 2:00 PM and a convenient 11:00 AM check-out, you can hit the town and still catch some Zs.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for budget-friendly lodging with easy access to downtown
• Solo travelers flying in to catch that once-in-a-lifetime show
• Couples planning a music-fueled weekend getaway
• Fans who prefer a chill, quiet space after the encore
• Budget-conscious music fans who don’t want to compromise on comfort

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer full dining, guests enjoy free morning coffee and juice to ease into the day after a late night out. Rooms have microwaves and fridges, and there are plenty of casual dining spots within walking or short driving distance. Plus, downtown’s full food scene is just a few light rail stops away.

Nightlife Options

You're just a short ride from Phoenix’s nightlife—trendy lounges, rooftop bars, and live music venues are all within easy reach. While the hotel itself doesn’t offer on-site entertainment, it's a solid base for exploring the city’s after-dark offerings.

What People Say

Guests regularly praise the hotel’s clean, spacious rooms, its proximity to downtown and the airport, and the convenience of public transit nearby. Reviewers also appreciate the friendly, helpful staff and the value for money, especially for quick trips centered around concerts or events.

Areas for Improvement

This hotel focuses on value and location rather than luxury. Some guests mention that the property is a bit dated and could use a refresh. There's no on-site restaurant or bar, but plenty of options are nearby. Also, be aware that local residents within 25 miles are not allowed to book here, which may surprise some.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for convenience, value, and a solid night’s rest after the show, Howard Johnson by Wyndham Phoenix Airport/Downtown Area hits all the right notes.
