If you want to really save money in Phoenix given the very high prices of hotels in this city, try this local hotel on the west side of the city. The hotel was packed the night we arrived but given our plane did not land until 1am and we did not get to the hotel until 2am, the wait staff was there with our reservation in hand. Luckily we found the hotel which was located in a less than desirable part of the city off a main highway but within easy access.

The fellow at the counter was cordial and the room was sufficient even if the pillows were very old and pillow cases dirty. The bed had not been replaced in some time and the tv cable was limited but for a quick inexpesive stopover, it was a good solution.

Try this place if you arrive late and just want a hot shower and a place to rest your hat.

I booked this on Travelocity as a cheap place to stay before a 6AM flight. We pulled into the Econo Lodge off of VanBuren St. We thought the neighborhood was bad on our way in... only to find 2 scroungy guys in a fist fight in the parking lot.

Never checked in... took the loss of the non refundable charge and stayed somewhere else. Wouldn't have slept a wink there regardless!

It's cheap, close to the airport and has high-speed internet. So, I can't complain. If you come from teh airport though, wait for the free shuttle. The cab drivers will rip you off big-time. It's a couple of miles away and we were charged 20$. The shuttle is free and runs every half hour or so. This place also has a free continental breakfast which was nice too. Obviously a cheap place, but relatively clean. But, it was what we were looking for to crash for a night. I'd stay there again.

Very nice management and very friendly. Proud to go again. Nice meal, nice rooms, nice everything!!! where can you get a better place like this:)
