Phoenix hotels near Orpheum Theater

Cons: They seemed to be incredibly short staffed in terms of housekeeping. On our first night, our room wasn't ready for check-in at 6:30pm -- 2.5 hours after the hotel's check-in time of 4pm. It seemed like it would work out in our favor because we got a room upgrade since our assigned room wasn't ready. But then on our second day our room wasn't cleaned until 4:30pm and on our third day, they didn't clean the room at all -- and we were out of the room from 10am until 9pm! When we called the front desk, they offered to send someone to clean the room, but it took 40 minutes for someone to show up.

Cons: Smoking in the general seating areas outside

Cons: Was billed as a five star resort when I booked it. Don't get me wrong, this is a nice place with a lot of history. However, a five star resort implies attention to little details that separate you from other resorts. Those little details were missing. While I understand the main entrance is under renovation, the concrete blocks holding down the umbrellas for the valets looked cheap and haphazard. Not a good first impression. Upon arrival, no one offered to help with my bags, merely pointing me to the direction of the temporary main entrance. At that entrance, there is a small lip in the doorway, making it difficult to maneuver a roller bag. While the front desk did ask if I needed assistance with my bags, no bellhops were around if I did, and given the room location, they should have been more readily available, as my room in the garden wing is on the second floor accessible only by stairs. Upon check-in, I searched for ice (which with a bellhop could have been a non-issue at least for the first day). I could not locate the ice machine, or anything in the in-room literature to direct me. I found a housekeeper and asked her. She did not seem to know either. A maintenance engineering department employee coming out of a guest room overhead the conversation and immediately led me to the nearest ice machine himself. Unfortunately it was broken. Not only that, there was a bus cart full of dirty dishes stowed in front of it. Again, this is the kind of little detail a five-star resort takes care of. The ice machine in the adjacent paradise wing seemed more designed for "back of the house" rather than for a guest to be accessing it. Service at Frank and Albert's was very nonchalant. It did not seem as is they cared if we stayed to eat or not, or enjoyed our meal. Everything seemed to be under construction at once, causing noise throughout the day, from early in the morning until afternoon. When I asked about this, several, employees' response was "well, it's the slow season...." as if I should have lower expectations because it's August. Again, a little detail a five-star resort should nail. Guests should not notice a difference in staff attention regardless of "season." A few other "little details": In the lobby bar, the cords for the TVs and speakers were haphazardly hanging, not neatly along the wall. There was visible water damage on one of the corner speakers. A large cobweb was hanging in the corner and blowing with the AC. There were several areas where grout or paint had dripped onto the pressed concrete blocks from recent renovations but were left there, not removed. The pool desk was open and appeared to be staffed, but was unmanned for five minutes, leading me to walk behind the desk to help myself to clean towels as no one was around. Ultimately, we cut our stay a day short and moved to a different area five star resort, where we did not experience any negative issues.

Cons: Garden room had a single window unit type AC that did not sufficiently cool the room. Hotel is currently under construction, which makes it very hard to get around. I found bits of cracker on the floor around my bed upon check in, but was too tired to deal with it at the time. The matress in my room felt old and sagged on one side. The pool bar closed at 5. The famous Catalina pool has many broken tiles. I was promised an emailed receipt at checkout, and have yet to receive it. I've made two calls to their accounting department and they have not returned my call.

Cons: Room needed updated

Cons: nothing.

Cons: Can be expensive. Self parking- quite a distance away.

Cons: Hot tub not warm, bed sagged in middle, no robes, landscapers started gas power hedge trimmers at 8:35am for 45 minutes in courtyard next to room.

Cons: N/a

Cons: Outrageous charges for parking ($35/ day), WiFi ($18./day), in room movie ($20.)

Cons: Booked the hotel and tried to cancel a couple hours later. Priceline spoke with the front desk manager and they refused to allow me to cancel. I understand it's in your fine print but it's just bad business practice to take someone's money when the reservation was JUST made. It's not like it was booked for months and the room was not given to someone else because of my reservation. I am the CEO of a moderately sized company and travel to Phoenix 5-10 times a year and send hundreds of clients to Phoenix. I will make sure no one stays here. Good thing you kept my $500.

Cons: Parking was $28 per car per night. We parked across the street for $14 per night.

Cons: The gym is very small and they were renovating so you could hear work being done and the elevators were really slow.

Cons: Limited menu for dinner. Outdoor chairs and tables are great but had bird droppings on them.

Cons: A larger swimming pool with shaded areas would be nice. Otherwise, no complaints.

Cons: Would have liked to have had a magnifying mirror in the bathroom for putting on my makeup but there was lots of light.

Cons: Nothing all was excellent

Cons: The Concierge Room is advertised as being for guests with rewards points at the Platinum or Gold level plus one guest. The hotel opened the Concierge Room to hundreds of pre-teen and teenaged girls unchaperoned, competing in a national ballerina event in the city. Business and professional guests very disappointed.

Cons: Decided to stay in instead of going out and the bar staff at the hotel was horrible waited 15 minutes for first drink and then couldn't remember what the drink was. It was super expensive and staff not very personable

Cons: Cannot think of a thing.

Cons: This hotel is dingy, rundown, and desperately needs renovation. The room doors are also not within a closed building. This Double Tree is nothing like any of the ones we've used in the past. Save your money and look for a cleaner, safer and nicer overall property.

Cons: Bathroom is very small, and it was very difficult for both of us to get ready in the morning. The sink was next to the toilet, as opposed to being outside the bathroom, as in other hotels. Hair dryer only had medium heat setting - plenty of power, but needed warmer temp. Most rooms surround the pool, and one night the families using the pool were really noisy. The noise reverberates!

Cons: We did not like that some of the channels on the television were fuzzy, and more than that, the pool was very dirty.

Cons: I was traveling alone and my room was on the 5th floor quite a distance from the office and a little hike through the foliage and pool area. Even from the parking lot entrance, closest to the elevator I needed to take, I had to travel down a dark walk area by the laundry. I didn't feel unsafe but it could be a recipe for disaster. I checked in after dark and the lighting is limited around the pool area for the ambiance but this made it difficult to figure out where to go. I would have preferred something closer and should have asked.

Cons: No dislikes

Cons: First visit our family was put into handicapped room and the shower facilities were extremely messy with 4 people showering.

Cons: I accidentally left a travel bag in my room when checking out. This oversight was not discovered until I arrived home 130 miles away several hours later. Two problems: 1) their phone answering system was stuck in a loop, constantly repeating available options without connecting me with mgr on duty. I eventually connected with Reservations Clerk Christine who tried to be very helpful and took my information to file a report. 2) when I followed up with the mgr on duty 24hrs later, he inquired with Houskeeping and called me back saying nothing was found but he would keep an open file in case it was found. I have heard nothing since. Since I went directly home upon checking out of the hotel, there is no question of where I left the bag. This was very disappointing.

Cons: This hotel met all my expectations.

Cons: Everything was excellent

Cons: The bath room was way to small

Cons: the room bathroom could use a little updating

Cons: No hot Water and charged extra 25 dollars don't know why

Cons: Drunk guy passed out in stairwell in morning who I had to step over on my way to my class on my last morning. There were guys Erving loud motorcycles in parking lot at 2am

Cons: I can smell smoke in the hallway from guests that were smoking in their rooms.

Cons: At first they put me in a room that had a fan that made horrible noise. I went and asked for a different room, which I then got. The new room was better, but both of the rooms smelled of mildew, having a 'dirty sock' smell. This really bothered and basically affected my whole visit. I talked with some of my other business compatriots who stayed at a different 4-Point up in Tempe, and they had the same problem.

Cons: The only negative remark I have is they need light on there parking lot. They also need to pave the dirt road.
