Hotels Near Family Dollar in Phoenix

I travel an average of 180 days a year for work. I love Embassy Suites and stay at them as much as I can. As a Diamond member for years, I can say Rob at the bar stands out as one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. The entire staff, Billy, the food and beverage manager as well as Irene Contreras in sales are top notch. Everyone went out of their way to make this hotel stand out and make an impression. I will make sure I stay at this Embassy Suites anytime I come to Phoenix, not only because of the staff, but because it is a very clean and nice Embassy.

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.

We were here for a business meeting. Our room was nice, clean and had everything that we needed. The gardens are well kept and the area is easily walkable. The room had a fridge, safe and microwave. The bed was comfy and there was a nice leather chair and ottoman to use. My Only complaint would be that there was trash sitting in front of our room when we arrived (5:00 pm) and was still there until afternoon the next day. Each day there were sugar and creamer packets and coffee cup lids on the grounds in many places throughout the resort. We had a few receptions and the staff could not have been any more attentive. They did an amazing job serving drinks and food. They were on top of the cleanup also. Job well done. We did have a pre-order luncheon one day also. That meal did not seem as well executed. It took over 45 minutes to be served our meals. The resort has some restaurants across the street that were walkable. The mall and Old Town Scottsdale are nearby also.

Old-fashioned and old in all. buildings, furniture. Bathroom equipment is new, but the sewage system is old. 1 washing and drying machine for the facility. No inside territory, you walk by balconies to get to other places. Or you need to get outside of buildings go get to the reception. Nice outside backyard but you can’t enjoy it in summer, no mist, no fans there. Good golf carts service. Several restaurants around. One little bar at reception - can’t accommodate all people in the evening. Pools are small, always packed. Kids enjoyed water park. We got non-smoking room, unbearably stinky. Changed it only next day.
