The Clarendon Hotel and Spa

I love this place, it’s super close to downtown Phoenix without being right in the heart of it. It is affordable, therefore, as well as having a wonderful, funky vibe that my buddies and I love. It’s super ***, friendly, as well as being 420 friendly… Which means that while I don’t smoke ****, I enjoy the openness and adult only Ambience of the property. I love the pool area. It is super fun as well as the rooftop lounge. My only problem with this property is it is low on amenities as far as guest towels, lack of continental breakfast… Although the snacks that are free throughout your stay kind of make up for that. Also, they really should brighten up the bathrooms more. I stayed here are quite a few times in every bathroom has been very dim. There is also no ice machine… but you can get bags of ice from the front desk. Overall, I would recommend this hotel.

Very disappointed with this Clarendon. Most furniture in the room was faded and warn out. Our room seemed like it was in a process of renovation and was just left alone after demo. Outdated, dirty. Pool looked nice. Restaurant looked nice. Roof top lounge was average, nothing fancy. No iron, no hairdryer in room. If you ask at front desk they will provide it to you though. This hotel is ********* friendly. It wasn’t in the hotel description on the booking app. I did read it on Google after check in at the hotel. The building looks more like an industrial building.

For a hotel and spa, I expected more. Exterior and lobby look nice, but the rooms had an outdated modern feel, with paint chipping from the ceiling and the shower light flickering like a strobe light. Outdoor pool and hot tub area was a welcome benefit of staying here, but wish the staff would have taken time to remove leaves from the pool. Snacks and their free “breakfast” were very limited. The rooftop patio left something to be desired, like creativity. We did not try the on site restaurant, so I am unable to vouch for the services there. Front desk very accommodating and friendly. We did not try the spa service either as we couldn’t work it into our agenda.

Easy check in. Great location about 15mins from the airport. Hotel was clean and had a nice chill pool area. Also 420 friendly in certain parts of the hotel. I'd definitely be staying here again whenever I'm in Phoenix.
