Pros: Staff was very friendly and courteous. The hotel is a very good value.
Cons: I was not happy to have a room next to the freeway. The noise made sleep difficult.

8.2
Pros: We enjoyed all aspects of the hotel including the restaurant, bar, pool, room, proximity to downtown Phoenix and the Light Rail, employees, and convenience of having a fridge/microwave in the room. Special callout on the pool which is much nicer than similar hotels and having a pretty nice restaurant & bar on the premises.
Cons: The top issue with this hotel is its location. It sits up against the 17 Freeway and the road noise is significant. If you get a King Suite, it will most likely have the bedroom area / window right next to the freeway and is very loud. I would stay there again on a subsequent visit, but I will be sure to not book a King Suite and I will specifically request a room that is quiet. I also notice the traffic is louder on the 3rd floor, so I will also try to stay on a lower level. There was an odor in the room. I actually bought an air freshener from the store to put in the room. The free breakfast is OJ, Coffee, Sweet Rolls, Bagels, Muffins, and Apples. It would be wonderful to have something healthy besides apples (yogurt, oatmeal, additional fruit). They do have oatmeal and yogurt on the restaurant menu for $7 each which I took advantage of.

Pros: We received and early check-in and the pool and fire pit were gorgeous.
Cons: We were expecting a bit more from a hotel rated so highly. The bathroom in our king suite was dingy and run down. The pillows on the bed were quite uncomfortable. We had to have our room keys reprogrammed for our one night's stay, which was very unfortunate at midnight.

Pros: Hotel staff was friendly, pool was nice, lobby/restaurant/bar area was nice. Price was certainly competitive.
Cons: Could hear a fair amount of noise from outside the room at night. No open electrical outlets near the desk in the room. Not much of interest within walking distance and it's a bit confusing accessing the hotel from the road (for cab/Uber drivers).

Pros: I rarely take the time to review stuff, but this place was really quite awful and if I can prevent other travelers from making the same mistake that my friend and I made by booking a room here, then maybe I'll feel vindicated. Truly the worst hotel I've stayed at, and at 100 bucks a night, it's no bargain. I felt completely duped by the pictures, the actual room we were given was completely devoid of any charm or modern amenities, but worst of all, it was just plain old dirty. Really disappointing and frankly, pretty gross.
Cons: The only thing I liked about it was that it was within walking distance to Charlie's, perhaps the best bar in Arizona, so I could drink away my anger and disgust at myself for not actually taking the time to read some reviews before I booked this place.

Pros: The staff was great and for the price the whole experience was what I would have expected with a 200$ hotel! Hotel 502 has become my go to when I come into town for business.. The location is great for what I need and the price works without blowing my whole budget.
Okay
5.4
Pros: Staff was very friendly and did everything in their power to make the stay comfortable. There was a nice flat screen tv in the room.
Cons: Rooms felt uninviting, no where to plug electronics in, very strong orange cleaner smell in the room. Walls very thin, could hear the couple next to us, no breakfast offered at all. We stayed on the 4th floor, only ice machine on the 3rd floor at the very end of the hall...a little creepy. Very outdated bathroom fixtures, tiles and small cheap white towels. I would much rather stay at a chain hotel next time.

Given another room and that one looked as if someone had been murdered in our room. Box spring has huge blood stain that didn't look that old. Drug deals, homeless people, prostitues, gun shots. Absolutely horrible and I have no clue how they are even open. Worst hotel ever!!
