Hotels near Bruce Black Art, Phoenix

There is a smell of smoke in the room, but the stay is quite comfortable

We stayed here the last night of our trip due to its proximity to the airport and ability to house over 4 people in a room (up to 6). The hotel itself is fine, very average. The pool does not have sunlight in the afternoon which is a minus, as that means it's relatively cold in the Winter, even though it is somewhat heated. The rooms are large and have a full kitchen which is a nice. I took a couple stars off for cleanliness by housekeeping, as they left a wet towel in our room from the previous guests, and the blanket for our kids had stains all over it (gross, even our little kids complained). All in all it was convenient for the night before a flight out, but we would look to stay elsewhere next time.

My husband and I stopped by on 02/19/2022 to have some drinks and try the food at From The Rooftop. Unfortunately, we did not stick around to try the food because the bartender wearing his black sunglasses, who would not crack a smile or acted like he was too inconvenienced to acknowledge you as a customer was very rude. My husband stood in line for 30 mins before he got a drink. He and 2 people in front of him stood waiting as the bartender decided he would serve the party of about 10 people first, who had just walked in and decided to bypass the line that had already formed. Keep in mind it was only 1 PM and the place was not busy prior to the party of 10 arriving. We really wanted to come back and stay at the Cambria, but I don't see that happening now. We love to visit locally and give recommendations to family and friends be it word of mouth or social media, however the service we received has really made it difficult for us to give any positive feedback which is very unfortunate.

I wanted to love this place. I was so excited after I booked it, but unfortunately it was not a great stay. I also want to say that all of the employees were very nice and tried to be helpful. I think a lot of the problems lie in the concept. Is it a hotel or is it a bar/venue? We came prepared with a stock of ear plugs and a white noise machine. It didn’t do much good. I expected to be kept up a little later than usual, but I didn’t expect to be woken up early the next morning by loud, thumpy music pumping through the speakers in the courtyard bar/venue music. If you’re loud at night, it would be nice to have it be a little quieter in the morning. In addition, they didn’t seem to soundproof during the renovation. The people above us sounded like a herd of elephants between 3-5 am every night we were there. I’m not sure what they were doing up there, but it was certainly loud. Request a top floor if you decide to brave a stay. Now for something good: The location is spectacular. We were there to see a show at the Van Buren and it was a quick walk to the venue. There were also a ton of great restaurants and bars in walking distance and downtown is very close. ANNND… back to a few more gripes: It was kind of gross. It wasn’t filthy gross, but it didn’t look as if it had been recently remodeled. There was dust everywhere, bits of plastic and paper trash on the floor, and the shower head was in dire need of de-calcification. Why do I have to unscrew the lightbulbs to turn the lights out? Seriously? No switch… If I pay between $250-270 a night for a hotel, I should not have to pay $4 for a cup of coffee in the morning. It’s fine if the restaurant (the only source of coffee in the hotel) doesn’t want to give the hotel guests free coffee, but the hotel should provide coffee for their guests. I mean: you’ve kept me up late, woken me up early, AND you’re charging me $4 to get a cup of coffee (that I have to get dressed to fetch)?!?!?!?!? There should be a law against this sort of thing. While I’m on the subject: Paying the aforementioned price for a hotel should also guarantee that I don’t have to wipe my butt with 80 grit sandpaper. Some decent toilet paper would go a long way. Fellow Travelers: If you think you might want a nightcap, be prepared and put something in the fridge in your room. The bar doesn’t keep to its posted hours and the bartenders I had couldn’t always make a decent cocktail. If you’re a beer and a shot type, you’ll probably be fine. If the bar is closed you can always treat yourself to a $15 can of barely drinkable wine from the restaurant… or a $4 cup of coffee. But hey, did I mention the location?

The hotel is located in the city center, next to the university. The hotel we stayed in was just during the Christmas season. Many people opened the party. Both young and old people are happy. The elderly are very grand. Young people are also very popular.

Hotel location is very good, but the facilities are old, the sound is not good, the toilet space is small, and the water pipes and other rooms are connected. The temperature of the water and hot water will change next door. It is too difficult to take a bath. However, considering the lower price, the price is still ok.

I checked in late at night after a long drive. Only here for a few hours. Lisa took such great care of me checking me in, helping me out, getting me food. It made a world of difference to me when I was weary, hungry and struggling! She is the best.

Located in the heart of Tempe, the hotel is easy to find on the main road and has convenient transportation. There are many shops, restaurants and bars within the vicinity. The service staff is very good, with car rental service, free parking, free airport shuttle bus. The rooms are large, the decoration and facilities are very good. The price is relatively moderate and the price is super good. It is a good choice for traveling abroad.
