Why Concert-goers love it
Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s close proximity to downtown Phoenix venues without the steep city-center prices. It's just a short drive or ride-share from places like Talking Stick Resort Arena and Copper Square. Since it’s set west of downtown, the area stays relatively
quiet after hours—a bonus for those seeking post-show rest. While check-out is early at 7:00 AM, the 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before heading out for the night.
Who this Hotel is great for
- Groups of friends looking to split a room and save
- Solo travelers seeing a big-name artist downtown
- Couples making a weekend music getaway
- Fans who prefer a quiet crash pad after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want a clean, simple stay
Food and Drink Options
This hotel doesn’t have a restaurant on-site, but many rooms feature kitchenettes with a
microwave and fridge, giving you the flexibility to prep your own meals after a late night. Nearby fast-food spots and diners are within a quick drive. While there’s no room service or bar, it’s a good pick for those who prefer to keep things low-key or bring their own snacks.
Nightlife Options
While Studio 51 itself is quiet, you’re within easy reach of Phoenix’s
vibrant downtown nightlife. Bars, music lounges, and clubs are just 15–20 minutes away by car or ride-share. After the show, you can enjoy the city scene before heading back to your peaceful room for the night.
What People Say
Guests on TripAdvisor and Booking.com say the hotel is a
solid value for the price, praising the kitchenette setup and its proximity to downtown. Many reviewers mention the
friendly staff and straightforward check-in process. It’s a favorite among travelers who aren’t looking for frills, just a clean place to stay after a long night out.
Areas for Improvement
The early 7:00 AM check-out might be tough after a late-night concert, so plan ahead if you’re hoping to sleep in. Some guests note that the furnishings are basic and the area is more residential, so it’s not ideal for those who want to walk to restaurants or bars.
The Bottom Line
If you’re catching a show in Phoenix and want a
quiet, affordable place to crash without sacrificing location, Studio 51 Extended Stay Hotel delivers exactly what you need.
