That they took a nondescript, boxy '50s motel and turned it into a desirable place deserves credit at the get-go. It's kind of like W meets Hard Rock -- in the desert. (The hallways are painted purple!) But it's quirky, and the service levels are spotty. I'm guessing that the owners are young. Apparently a number of the rooms have... more

We booked this hotel based on trip advisor reviews and the hotel website. The owner is a marketing genius! We would admit that the pool and hot tub were very nice, but that is the only thing that makes these outdated motel style rooms bearable. The hotel has tried to put in cool artwork, flat screens and modern furniture, but... more

Thank you very much for your review.... we're admittedly not the hotel for everyone as we try to be different than the typical beige-and-tan chain hotels in the world. If you like to travel and experience different hotels and restaurants so that you go back home with a unique experience to share, we're the place for you. If you're the...

This was my first time staying at the Claredon and I was very impressed! I am a Phoenix local, and stayed with a group of girls (we are all 24-26 in age) for an event. The room was spacious and clean and had great decor. The pool area was awesome-it looked very hip with big sun beds and a giant... more

I selected this hotel after reading glowing reports on this and other sites. I can't say it was worht the $200+ room multiple sites requested. We stayed for a under $150, including vouchers for breakfast. This price is about what it should be. Clarendon isn't quite downtown. It is not within walking distance to attractions, shopping, restaurants. If you won't... more

Stayed at the Clarendon in January 2008. It was great from beginning to end. We arrived late and the staff was awesome, they were extremely helpful and had excellent late night dining recommendations. The room was very comfy and super clean, and the bed was great, i slept very well. The towels were great and the l'occitane soaps and lotions... more

Over in Phoenix for a quick business trip, I will admit I was at first put off by the front entrance and the fact that the hotel seemed a bit far off from attractions, shopping centers and restaurants. But quickly and in many ways The Clarendon Hotel made up for the secluded location... rooms are vast and clean, the pool... more

I had to be in Phoenix for one night and booked a deal on Hotwire. It was a good value for what I was charged but this is not, in my opinion, a 3.5 star hotel. The good. The beds are comfortable with high quality linen and nice down pillows. The room was clean and the bathrooms were well stocked... more

What a wonderful time to be in Phoenix! During my trip this February in part for work but also for fun, I had an opportunity to stay at the Clarendon again. I don't know how they do it but they have certainly improved on their already spectacular service and ammenities. Two of the "Must Do's" during your stay at the... more

I was really curious about how I'd like this hotel after reading the variety of reviews here. I almost cancelled but decided to give it a shot and try it for myself, which I am glad I did. I am the kind of person who's willing to have an open mind! The Clarendon is a cool place - and I... more

I stayed 3 nights at the Clarendon in February while I was on a campus visit to the ASU downtown campus. As a young, single traveler I couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The rooftop Happy Hour seems to be quickly becoming a local hotspot so it's a great place to meet some new and interesting people. The... more
