Only a couple of blocks from the baseball stadium. It is an easy walk to a game. Nice clean hotel.

This hotel is a great deal but the location isn't good if you think you're going to go anywhere on foot.

First the good--the rooms were great for business travel and I appreciated the free wireless internet and the better-than-average free breakfast. Nothing was fancy but everything was clean and in good shape. I liked the setup of the room--there was a little office area and a little living room area and a comfy bed.

The downside was really about Phoenix more than the hotel--you can't walk *anywhere* safely, especially as a woman and most especially at night. The convention center is not far away but I was the only person on foot except for some very disturbed homeless people, so I had to take 5-minute cab rides every day. There is no real food onsite except for breakfast, and there are not a lot of good places to eat downtown and none within walking distance. Skip the "mexican" food at Sam's at the local mall unless you are desperate.

When the other main places to stay downtown are the Hyatt Regency and the Wyndham - and you're not getting a convention rate - then this is definitely the place to stay. My husband and I were here for two nights, just as tourists. We do need to travel with our laptop, and found the high-speed (wired) internet service to be quick & easy to access.

We are Marriott Rewards Points members, and used points to stay here free, but got no extra perks, since the place was full when we checked in. We called from Sky Harbor airport, and their shuttle took us right to the hotel. The room was basically the same as all other Springhills, with a desk-living area, small fridge, and sofa with coffee table. A big coffeepot too, and a huge bathroom area, with large but separate toilet & shower. Roomy closet with plentiful hangers & luggage stand, plus ironing board and iron.

The included breakfast buffet was HUGE, and enough was always on hand even though all the rooms were full. The TV channels were rather limited for being in a big city, but the Manager told me she's aware of the problem and is working with the cable company to remedy that. She and another employee also went out of her way to do us several favors. When I needed to get to a drugstore to get some personal items, she took the shuttle van and personally drove me to a Wal-Green's!

There are no restaurants right near the hotel, however we found plenty at the Arizona Center just 5 blocks down (highly recommend Sam's Cafe), as well as in a few other areas. Heritage Square was close by, and anything else we wanted to get to was reachable by using the city's FREE DASH busses - they are great!

I just spent 5 nights at the SpringHill Suites Phoenix Downtown and cannot think of one negative thing to say. The staff were amazing, especially the front desk. The location was a big dodgy, but only 3 blocks from Chase Stadium. The rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Great value for the $$. We really enjoyed relaxing in the swimming pool and hot tub, despite the 114 degree weather. :) I just want to accentuate how helpful everyone was. The front desk lady was always eager to help us with directions. We never made it to the breakfast, but from what I heard it was delicious. If I ever go to Phoenix again, I will definitely consider staying at this hotel again.
