Phoenix hotels near Patriots Square Park

Cons: They seemed to be incredibly short staffed in terms of housekeeping. On our first night, our room wasn't ready for check-in at 6:30pm -- 2.5 hours after the hotel's check-in time of 4pm. It seemed like it would work out in our favor because we got a room upgrade since our assigned room wasn't ready. But then on our second day our room wasn't cleaned until 4:30pm and on our third day, they didn't clean the room at all -- and we were out of the room from 10am until 9pm! When we called the front desk, they offered to send someone to clean the room, but it took 40 minutes for someone to show up.

Cons: Was billed as a five star resort when I booked it. Don't get me wrong, this is a nice place with a lot of history. However, a five star resort implies attention to little details that separate you from other resorts. Those little details were missing. While I understand the main entrance is under renovation, the concrete blocks holding down the umbrellas for the valets looked cheap and haphazard. Not a good first impression. Upon arrival, no one offered to help with my bags, merely pointing me to the direction of the temporary main entrance. At that entrance, there is a small lip in the doorway, making it difficult to maneuver a roller bag. While the front desk did ask if I needed assistance with my bags, no bellhops were around if I did, and given the room location, they should have been more readily available, as my room in the garden wing is on the second floor accessible only by stairs. Upon check-in, I searched for ice (which with a bellhop could have been a non-issue at least for the first day). I could not locate the ice machine, or anything in the in-room literature to direct me. I found a housekeeper and asked her. She did not seem to know either. A maintenance engineering department employee coming out of a guest room overhead the conversation and immediately led me to the nearest ice machine himself. Unfortunately it was broken. Not only that, there was a bus cart full of dirty dishes stowed in front of it. Again, this is the kind of little detail a five-star resort takes care of. The ice machine in the adjacent paradise wing seemed more designed for "back of the house" rather than for a guest to be accessing it. Service at Frank and Albert's was very nonchalant. It did not seem as is they cared if we stayed to eat or not, or enjoyed our meal. Everything seemed to be under construction at once, causing noise throughout the day, from early in the morning until afternoon. When I asked about this, several, employees' response was "well, it's the slow season...." as if I should have lower expectations because it's August. Again, a little detail a five-star resort should nail. Guests should not notice a difference in staff attention regardless of "season." A few other "little details": In the lobby bar, the cords for the TVs and speakers were haphazardly hanging, not neatly along the wall. There was visible water damage on one of the corner speakers. A large cobweb was hanging in the corner and blowing with the AC. There were several areas where grout or paint had dripped onto the pressed concrete blocks from recent renovations but were left there, not removed. The pool desk was open and appeared to be staffed, but was unmanned for five minutes, leading me to walk behind the desk to help myself to clean towels as no one was around. Ultimately, we cut our stay a day short and moved to a different area five star resort, where we did not experience any negative issues.

Cons: Garden room had a single window unit type AC that did not sufficiently cool the room. Hotel is currently under construction, which makes it very hard to get around. I found bits of cracker on the floor around my bed upon check in, but was too tired to deal with it at the time. The matress in my room felt old and sagged on one side. The pool bar closed at 5. The famous Catalina pool has many broken tiles. I was promised an emailed receipt at checkout, and have yet to receive it. I've made two calls to their accounting department and they have not returned my call.

Cons: Smoking in the general seating areas outside

Cons: nothing.

Cons: Can be expensive. Self parking- quite a distance away.

Cons: Room needed updated

Cons: Hot tub not warm, bed sagged in middle, no robes, landscapers started gas power hedge trimmers at 8:35am for 45 minutes in courtyard next to room.

Cons: None

Cons: The pillows and bedding was too soft...no neck or back support in the bedding. Other than that, a wonderful stay...I would stay there again next time in Phoenix

Cons: The bed was only so-so. Mattress seemed old

Cons: I did not like the design of the shower, where it was only partially enclosed with a glass wall, where water could spray out onto the bathroom floor. The mattress was a little hard, and the pillows were a little flat.

Cons: Room service took forever to show up...2hrs later

Cons: Nothing

Cons: No smoking. $140+ rooms but $27 just to park in garage. And no the hotel doesn't pay for it dicount it or validate parking. This was a bummer.

Cons: While I didn't mind, some may be put off by the need to leave the hotel and cross the plaza to access fitness center and breakfast. Both are well worth the "inconvenience"

Cons: Our room's thermostat was not working right. Our room at the lowest temperature was freezing but at any higher temperature our room would be way too hot. There was no door on the shower which caused water from the shower to get on the bathroom floor, making it slick and a fall hazard. Our bed had no sheet, just the comforter and a small throw blanket. We had to request a sheet and add it to the bed ourselves. We had a very difficult time getting comfortable enough to sleep.

Cons: Hard not to like anything.

Cons: N/A

Cons: Room smelled of a scent that I didn’t care for. Room freshener or something.

Cons: No comments.....

Cons: It is not a 'walkable' neighborhood, but then the Hilton Garden provide s the necessary services, so not a 'deal-breaker'. Proximity to the airport, for the price, in my opinion can't be beat.

Cons: $15 for a mediocre cheeseburger. Small patio area, small pool area. No continental breakfast but instead a $14 breakfast buffet. Stuck us in a room next to the elevators which shook our room every 10 seconds all night long.

Cons: They do not have supplies/equipment to handle the capacity. We needed another blanket and were told they ran out. They do not have nearly enough chairs at the pools. There were 10 lounge chairs at our pool. I know they cannot provide enough chairs for every guest but there is absolutely no excuse why there were not at least 30-40 chairs at each pool. There was certainly room for that many. People at the pools were angry. The teenagers that work at the oasis pool were rude. Instead of being a relaxing experience, it was over-crowded and stressful.

Cons: The waterpark was supposed to open on February 18th per the website and a phone call to the hotel - so we booked from February 20th to 24th. What they failed to inform us was that the Waterpark was only open the weekend before and the weekend afterwards. When we arrived on the Monday the person who greeted us and showed us to our room talked about the Waterpark being great and only later did we find out it was closed. We got 2 nights of the facility fee refunded, however the other 2 nights were not refunded and we chose this hotel especially because of the waterpark. Very disappointing.

Cons: Requested newspaper three times - never received - front desk and "grand service" said that paper would be delivered as it was part of " resort fee" which I was required to pay Asked for creamers for coffee in room never delivered TV says you can check out via tv but cannot - line was half hour long Facility is nice but dated and worn Service in bar was understaffed, "free" appetizer (with two drink minimum) never arrived Mandatory $45.00 plus tax resort fee seems excessive considering poor service

Cons: The room was clean, great location close to shops restaurants and more. Plenty of things to do at resort.

Cons: How busy the pool area is with kids. I am not sure how they can help adults that are not traveling with kids but I'm sure they would be annoyed with the level of kid noise. I think the parents allow the kids too much freedom with little parent supervision even late at night. I feel they should have curfews for the kids. If you are seated over the bridge you must bring your shoes to the lazy river or your feet will be burned. I feel they should have more entrances to the lazy river to much congestion in one area

Cons: Many reviews have the Arizona Grand Resort on the top of their list, but the truth is the options are few, the facilities are dated, and the atmosphere has very little energy. Don't get me wrong, this is a nice hotel, however, in terms of resorts, it does not belong in the same conversation with any of the Scottsdale or Sedona facilities. Very disappointing considering what was being sold. A three-night reservation, we left after one evening.

Cons: As a 4-star resort, I expected just a bit more. Water pressure was poor, not all of the shower features functioned properly, dirty towels were left by the cleaning staff outside our door for extended periods. The $50 + tax resort fee per day seemed a bit excessive - especially when the water park was only open on the weekend and we were not able to use it.

Cons: The food and drinks at the pool were very expensive and not worth the money.

Cons: Staff service was shockingly bad. The property claimed there was an upgrade ... still old and dirty looking. Price of food was very high. They call this a resort ... more like a glorified hotel. Would not recommend this property ti anyone.

Cons: We didn't love not being able to bring a few snacks into the waterpark. They make sure you have to buy them there.

Cons: No microwave

Cons: Bed was not the most comfortable I have used in a hotel. Especially for the money. As to be expected, the food service on site is extremely expensive. Resort fee is high and not optional - they get ya!

Cons: cost of food & drinks to expensive

Cons: No ice machine on every floor.

Cons: Bar closed at midnight

Cons: There's a resort fee that should just be included in the price but it's for a good reason and the room service is a bit high .

Cons: Water park hours vs check in/out time. I checked in on Friday night and water park didn't open til next day and I had to check out prior to going to the park.

Cons: menu choices for romm service a little limited

Cons: Restaurant had good quality food just a little overpriced.

Cons: Tasteless coffee forces you to go to the Starbucks counter or dining room. Be sure to turn on the exhaust fan in the shower and/or keep the bathroom door mostly closed when showering. Learned that the hard way when the smoke alarm over the bathroom door was set off. According to the woman at the front desk, some of them are sensitive and can be set off so you have to open the terrace door to get it to stop.

Cons: Most things shut down about 9pm. The waterpark closed at 8pm, which was fine. The resturants closed at 9pm. The Lobby bar closed early was well. The resort was great for the kids, but left few options for parents.

Cons: This trip we experienced a lot of horrible service, missed room services, not being attended to while at one of their restaurants. the exception was the last night we were there. I spent $5000 over a course of 6 nights we stayed..I would expect way better service when ones pays this much. Im considering not coming back due to the service not matching the price I paid. I also feel the resort could use a bit of updating and repair. Eep in the room when we had burnout light bulbs and once again they were never replaced on our stay.

Cons: Furniture somewhat dated; very small bathroom; stained carpet in living room (except for that, the suite was very clean).

Cons: Resort fee seems over the top considering daily rate being charged

Cons: Expensive Resort Fee $40/night + tax... ouch! I thought $20 was the standard? Room Service charge $x delivery fee + 23% gratuity... 23%! Highest we've ever seen. (And the food wasn't that great) Got a great deal on the room, but the resort fee and expensive food options will keep us from staying there again.

Cons: DO NOT LIKE THE EXTRA CHARGE AT THE DESK OF $49 FOR WHATEVER. I WAS CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL $110 WHICH $55 IS REIMBRUSED AFTER SO MUCH TIME. CHARGE WHAT YOU WILL AND LEAVE IT AT THAT. WE COME FOR THE SLIDES & LAZY RIVER LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. BUSINESS MAYBE DIFFERENT.

Cons: That being said, I was required to call a 1-800 line, for room service? I was directed to an obscure representative, who was way beyond unprofessional, who then, transferred me to the kitchen of, what I found out later, was Streets of New York. Sure, but then why is it called OrderInn, on the room service menu? I just want to know where the food I'm paying stupid amounts of money for, is coming from. Along with several, basic food items, such as, plain old, Garlic bread, that they had, extensively, labeled as "Passion bread", and was being way overcharged for.

Cons: My girlfriend and I stayed here for the fourth of July weekend. I will never stay here again ever. The room was dated. The room looked like a road side motel. The pictures and smoke dectors were falling off the wall. The refrigerator door had a hole like some one kicked it. I went to four different ice machines four different times and not one of them worked. I had to drive to the store it was very inconvenient. For the amount we paid for each nigh it was not worth it. We didn't even go to the water park portion of the resort because we were so disappointed with our room

Cons: The room wasn't cleaned the best. My wife had me go get Lysol wipes to wipe down our room.

Cons: Narrow roadways and endless views of cars. I was unable to find a way to navigate through the resort without walking through the parking lots. Only room service ordered was a caesar salad with a total cost of over $20. Lettuce had just been washed, but not dried so it was watery with cold cut type chicken placed on top. Very poor especially for a Hilton.

Cons: Rooms were obviously old and had the "old home" smell to them which isn't the most pleasant way of entering a hotel. Parking is also pretty narrow and somewhat annoying.

Cons: Poor cable tv

Cons: Hotel is a bit dated

Cons: our room had absolutely no view front or back

Cons: Toilet flushes did not work, Shower worked together with regular shower and facet runs,

Cons: Parking was horrible and not convenient in the area we were in

Cons: Leaving ! Had a wonderful weekend there will go again

Cons: Parking

Cons: I stayed on a Monday until Wednesday and it wasn't very busy at all. I was put in the farthest room from the main pool so it wasn't walking distance, did receive shuttle service but would of been nicer to be closer.

Cons: The resort is tired and it shows.

Cons: We expected great services and top-notch amenities, but the staff and our room were just mediocre. First, we had to wait for 10 minutes to sign in. The check-in agent was tied up with a time-consuming transaction but didn't even bother to apologise for the wait, much less attempt to summon a colleague to help us. Bad form. Next, we paid for queen-sized beds, but our room was outfitted with full-size beds. Wah wah. It was late and we weren't in the mood for making a fuss, but it was just...shabby. Nothing horrible, just not good.

Cons: A place this big could use a bit more food options. Maybe a bigger menu for room service and pool restaurant. But the food was excellent, so the request for more of it is a compliment!

Cons: The weather, it rained during our stay

Cons: Everything

Cons: So many kids running around the pool and splashing. The adult only pool was full so was forced to use the falls pool. If you have a room with a view be sure you wear flats/comfortable shoes you will have to climb up hill a ways to get to your room. They have a free shuttle but be sure to call way ahead of time. It made us 15 min late for our dinner reservation. The "falls view" was not worth the upgrade. You couldn't see the falls you just got a great view of the pool and all the noise.

Cons: Since you are literally on top of a mountain restaurants off property are not walk to but a quick 10 minute cab or car ride.

Cons: I did not like the mandatory resort-fee upon arrival or the refusal for my one-hour complimentary extended check-out request on a Sunday. I'm fairly sure the room was not sold for that day/night. The beer prices at the pool bars are absurd ($6.25 + TAX & tip) for a 20-oz TAP domestic beer is rather excessive for hotel guests.
