My husband booked the hotel because it was listed as one of America's Historic Hotel.  It's in need of some TLC.  Bathroom tiles chipped and dirty grout made it seem dirty.  Small room facing the main street (quiet though).  Unless you're going to a baseball or basketball game (both stadiums are within walking distance), downtown Phoenix is dead.  Hotel also mentioned by Travel Channel as being one of the most haunted (Ghost Bar).  Even during the day, little activity in the area.
