Hotels Near St Joseph Maronite Catholic Church in Phoenix

Update: Pretty sure I got a sinus infection from my room. (See review and photos) Not the worst Hotel I've ever stayed in, but the worst Hilton experience so far. The only redeeming feature of this hotel is it's proximity. 1. Proximity to the job site I worked out of 2. Proximity to the Airport 3. Proximity away from crime When I arrived, the atrium was nice and the pool area is actually really nice. When I opened the door to the room, the musty smell hit almost immediately. Thankfully because it's PHX, I was able to open the window and run the fan to get some fresh air into the room. Only after 3 afternoons of doing this same practice did it finally start smelling less musty by Wednesday night. I inspected the HVAC intake and noticed that the filters appeared to have an installed date. I think it says 1-26-2022 (or 1-24-2022) either way I'm no HVAC expert, but I believe even the best filters need to be changed more than that... only 1 out of the 4 toiletries had anything in it or the only one actually working. (see photos) Since I work all day, I didn't feel like making it a big thing at the front desk. Should I have? I guess I could have, but for Hilton Honors users, we have a handy app that lets you use your phone as a key among other features. one of them is to communicate with the hotel. I decided to try it out and sent a message on Tuesday. No response. On my last evening, I sent one other message. (see photos) I'm a fairly forgiving guy, but considering this is one of the only supposed ”4-star” hotels in the vicinity, I was hoping for a little more. They don't service the room but once every 5 days (unless you ask for it, but again; Why have a communication feature if you don't monitor it?) if I come back to Phoenix, This will NOT be my first choice. I'm going to say right now, I'll probably look in nearby Tempe or some other suburb and risk the 20-30min. commute than stay here again.

Located in the heart of Tempe, the hotel is easy to find on the main road and has convenient transportation. There are many shops, restaurants and bars within the vicinity. The service staff is very good, with car rental service, free parking, free airport shuttle bus. The rooms are large, the decoration and facilities are very good. The price is relatively moderate and the price is super good. It is a good choice for traveling abroad.

The saying that reads underneath their clock-tower says it all: ”Where time stands still”. (1) The clock is in correct. I THINK its supposed to read 5 o'clock (somewhere) but instead the big hand is pointing at the 5 and small hand at the 12 so its 12:25. That's a fun fact that is inexpensively changed and I don't hold it against the millennials who probably set it ;-) (2) We were in a ”casita” and the decor had definitely stood still. The 1990s called and they want their decor back! (3) A/C: Now air-conditioning is a major factor in Arizona! Fun fact I went from this JW Marriott to a different city and a Hyatt Regency and they both had the same ”WiSuite” thermostat. The Hyatt, appropriately had one that operated with Auto/Low/Medium/High with the click of a subsequent button; Marriott only had Auto/High! That meant that multiple times in the night I had to get up, at the behest of my wife, and turn off the A/C. Then get up and turn it back on because it was either too hot or too cold. :-O

We were here for a business meeting. Our room was nice, clean and had everything that we needed. The gardens are well kept and the area is easily walkable. The room had a fridge, safe and microwave. The bed was comfy and there was a nice leather chair and ottoman to use. My Only complaint would be that there was trash sitting in front of our room when we arrived (5:00 pm) and was still there until afternoon the next day. Each day there were sugar and creamer packets and coffee cup lids on the grounds in many places throughout the resort. We had a few receptions and the staff could not have been any more attentive. They did an amazing job serving drinks and food. They were on top of the cleanup also. Job well done. We did have a pre-order luncheon one day also. That meal did not seem as well executed. It took over 45 minutes to be served our meals. The resort has some restaurants across the street that were walkable. The mall and Old Town Scottsdale are nearby also.

We took a suite here for two nights. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. The room itself was very well appointed and very comfortable. If you can, ask for a room at the back of the hotel since this has got the better view. The hotel is 15 minutes' walk from Chase Field baseball stadium and this allowed us to walk back after the match in the evening. The only thing to note is that breakfast is a little bit hit and miss. Also that the floors and walls are a little thin - we were woken at 5am by the chap above having an argument with someone on the phone. The clientele is also a little mixed. Nevertheless overall I would definitely recommend this hotel and although we were worried about whether there would be enough parking, in fact this was never a problem.

The hotel is located in the city center, next to the university. The hotel we stayed in was just during the Christmas season. Many people opened the party. Both young and old people are happy. The elderly are very grand. Young people are also very popular.

Spent one night here. Came to Phoenix to see a Diamondbacks baseball game. Staff was super accommodating. They got us into our room early! The location was perfect! Although the valet parking was pricey, we never had to drive or look for parking downtown. We were able to walk everywhere: to lunch at the Kettle Black restaurant, to a coffee shop, to CVS and even to the BB game. We took advantage of using the Lime scooters and got exercise walking. On our downtime, we relished how comfortable the bed and room was. Except for a microwave in the room (they had one in the lobby) we had all the amenities we needed. Loved the sun blocking blinds! The breakfast was in keeping with the Hampton Inn’s reputation for a hot meal with good variety of foods. They did not have a pool (Phoenix is soooo hot and I would have welcomed it but knew it going in) but had a fitness center. The area had some homeless people around but we never felt unsafe. Well lit on the streets at night. For a large city, it was uncrowded. All in all, great place!

Hotel location is very good, but the facilities are old, the sound is not good, the toilet space is small, and the water pipes and other rooms are connected. The temperature of the water and hot water will change next door. It is too difficult to take a bath. However, considering the lower price, the price is still ok.

Stayed here for a meeting in downtown the next day and had a great experience. Staff was helpful and friendly and I enjoy the check in token for one free drink. People hang out in the lobby/lounge area and this is built into a historic building with character. It does mean the rooms are small if you are expecting a moder day layout. My queen room had the queen tucked in a corner by the windows and a larger bathroom than expected, but the rest of the space was pretty small. The desk pulls down from the wall to stay out of the way when not in use. Bed was comfortable, but I did hear road noise from Central Avenue and the light rail trains when they were running. The ”funky” factor is high with the place really feeling like a tucked in pocket in the middle of downtown. I would be happy to stay again.

I stayed at this lovely property in connection with a business trip and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of every aspect of the experience. The lobby is well appointed with modern furniture. Similarly, the rooms were beautiful with the hallmark comfortable Marriott bedding. I stayed in a suite which featured a barn door type partition that separated the huge garden tub from the bedroom. Even more important—-the quality of the staff. I looked forward to breakfast every morning. Not only was the food EXCEPTIONAL (you better try that waffle and THE BACON), but the staff was even more so. I looked forward to breakfast every morning where Mykayla was always so kind and attentive. She was friendly and did everything in her power to make sure that everything was done right. Additionally, Tony S. At the front desk was awesome. He was patient and kind no matter how many times I lost my key! He always had a smile and no matter how busy he was, kept the line moving efficiently. The property was adjacent to a concert facility and two sports stadiums and across the street from a Tanger Outlet. I will return!
