Very good
I would’ve liked to be able to make tea or coffee in the rom.:)

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.

Pleasant
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.

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

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.

Beautiful, comfy, friendly staff great location.
Beautiful hotel, clean and very friendly staff. Love the decor, the food and location. There are a lot of restaurants near by.
The only thing that this hotel needs to be perfect is a jacuzzi on the pool area.

Clean hotel
The room was basic as compared to the website that gave it an impression of better days. Tired furniture, no coffee facility, surprising for this type of hotel. Pleasant and helpful staff.

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.
