there were so many amenities and it’s very central so there are many things to do around.
everything was perfect the only thing was that when we arrived to the room, two of the pillows had hairs on them :(

Loved the Hotel 1 of the nicest things it was very quiet.
It’s close to Chase stadium and abundant night life.
We paid for a suite with a view and the windows were extremely dirty. Kinda disappointed with that.

Can’t Beat It. Location and Value is Thumbs Up!
The reception agent was very helpful and accommodating. We had a little issue locating our reservation but the agent persevered and in the end, all was fine. This could have been different as the property was booked and we would have potentially been on the street during a very busy weekend in PXO! Our room was fine, a bit dated but comfortable. The bathroom was the best part! Nicely appointed and plenty of fluffy towels. Too, the refrigerator encased in a cabinet was a great touch! At the end of our first day, the trip to the bar was a treat…great bartender who knew what an Affogato was!
The couch in our room could use some love as could the chairs around the table. Reupholstering could do the trick here.

Great Fourth of July at the Eden rooftop and Kimpton Pool
I liked that the property was in the heart of downtown close to restaurants, bars and nightclubs. I also liked the Eden rooftop bar and the pool.
I didn’t really like my view, I was hoping for a better view of the mountains. Instead I was looking at an empty parking lot. I also didn’t like that the room didn’t have a microwave, water bottles, coffee machine, disposable cups. The bare necessities were missing.

Walking distance to show venue. Great restaurant and slept well in the comfy bed.
Bought parking with our show tickets at 331 E Jefferson and should have used the hotel parking instead. Was way out of our way.

Excellent stay.
I had drinks at the bar at the hotel and the drinks were delicious.
However the drinks were extremely overpriced and the ice left little room for the actual alcohol.

The pillows were not good :( Need better pillows.
Pillows. No coffee maker in the room, had to ask for one. Not full breakfast.

Perfect location in the heart of Phoenix
In the heart of Phoenix, this hotel had a perfect location that is close to main event centers, bars and restaurants. Very expensive for the quality. Rooms ok but not “wow”. Front desk staff and valet service was superb.
Overall hotel a little blah-decor not great and room comfort could have been better.

Nice Hotel with great amenities, comfortable rooms and excellent location.
Best location close to the train and sports venues.
They made a preventive charge in my credit card and I paid in cash but did not receive any confirmation of payment or credit card reimbursement.

The room was not made a single time in 5 days I was there.

Great location for sporting events. Unable to check in early or out late. “Resort Fee” seemed unnecessary for this hotel
The location of the hotel is close to chase field and lots of restaurants.
As with most cities, there is a major homelessness issue. Although not the fault of the hotel, the surrounding area was quite dirty and smelly and there were often unsavory characters hanging around. We found the odor on some of the streets to be too strong to walk down.

Very good
I would’ve liked to be able to make tea or coffee in the rom.:)
24 October 2023
Perfect location for our needs. Really enjoyed the hotel.
Loved the pool/bar area. Room was fine. A chair was a bit beaten up but everything else was great. Staff sent a few texts to find out how things were going. When I had questions, they texted back responses immediately.
Only upon checking out did I find out if you charge anything to your room, they'll deduct $10 from that bill. Not sure if that's a daily thing or what. We had only charged one small item.

Location was good. Coffee and wine appreciated.
Staff was rude. Have stayed at other Kimptons and always loved the service/staff. My expectations were not met at this location. Room only cleaned once. Had to ask multiple people for clean towels & to have the room cleaned. No one smiled/offered service.
17 October 2023
Very nice place.
Room was comfortable and well sized. Staff was helpful and courteous and did a great job.
The daily additional charge for amenities was not well explained and I received no value from it.

The front desk staff, especially Dylan and Molly were exceptional. Very accommodating and friendly. I also appreciated the valet staff, specifically Adrian and Sam, did a fantastic job. I really enjoyed working with Sal in the catering department. Overall, my coworkers and I agreed that we would definitely consider returning to the Palomar Phoenix for any future business.
The business center didn't have enough chairs and outlets, but the front desk accommodated us very well. When we ordered food from Blue Hound, only once was it delivered to the business center room.

Over all the stay was great
Location
Eden bartender took our order but it took him 10 minutes to make 4 drinks during happy hour. It wasn't busy, he just had to try everyone's drinks with a new straw everytime. If it didn't taste right he would add a little but more. He didn't charge us happy hour price either. Then went back to eden for 1 drinks KS before heading to bed and it was the same bartender. I ordered 2 cocktails and 4 waters. 15 minutes later we received our drinks, he still was tasting everyone's drinks. Got 2 cocktails and no waters. We said whatever because the other 2 went up to the room to grab water.
