Phoenix hotels near Saint Mary's Basilica

Cons: The only slight downside was the fairly spartan "fitness room" which was a handful of cardio machines and a basic set of dumbells.

Cons: Guests on all sides were extremely loud. Whether it was TV, talking, moving furniture, etc. The check in time was unreasonably long. We were locked out of our room. Room service/the restaurant never answered the phone.

Cons: The in room tablet doesn't list all their options well or other info. Feel like it needs a redo.

Cons: There was no oven to bake in.

Cons: The power going out in the morning and not being able to get ready for the day before time to take off.

Cons: Their shud be a social hour in the evening

Cons: First floor room.

Cons: My seminar was held in phoenix convention center. It is a little difficul to hangout with friends who stay in that area.

Cons: Bed was not very comfortable. Our view out the window was a fast food drive thru. Room fridge was a bit noisy

Cons: No complaints from me.

Cons: Staff was super nice, polite and prompt to help.

Cons: Whatever products they use to clean the room left it smelling aa little...bitter, almost like vvinegar but I sprayed some perfume to mask it and it was fine.

Cons: Confusing parking structure . Foggy windows .

Cons: Staff were not friendly .... injured myself while there and would not allow me temporary use of a wheelchair. Nothing in the vicinity of the hotel really.

Cons: no free wi-fi???? $17 parking????

Cons: Not really a factor if you're not a weekender but parking is truly disproportionate to the amount of rooms in the hotel. You will find that out the hard way if you find yourself staying on a Saturday night.

Cons: Nothing open past 12, very much lack of knowledge of there "hotel" hour of operations, never had an opportunity to enjoy like food but like everything else there is somthing more rhat will stick with people at Tucson, for a life time

Cons: Homeless Begging right outside front doors.

Cons: It's funny that the only memorable and helpful staff are not upfront. Reception is horrible...H O R R I B L E!! This is the only reason I would never go back.

Cons: Room had a vague smell of cigarette smoke.

Cons: The bathroom was really small.

Cons: A bit pricey

Cons: Water temperature was terrible in the room. Either too cold or too hot. When I turned on the hot water at the sink to wash my face it got very hot and no amount of cold water would cool it down for quite a while. The shower had to be turned all the way hot to get a warm shower. There wasn't a shower towel mat for the floor the first day we were there.

Cons: Everything.

Cons: Fix the hot water!

Cons: I wish that there was a small store for incedentals.

Cons: I did not like the actual bed and the sheets and covers. I must of woke up 6 -7 times. Sheets where not soft. They were hard and loud. The bed was noisy and felt old. Was not a comfortable sleep. Also. This is arizona the air is dry. Maybe giving complimentary waters would be nice. Not charge $5 per water bottle.

Cons: The carpet, the old Apple phone radio

Cons: Rooms need remodeling in a big way. Bed was uncomfortable and the A/C did not work.

Cons: The most uncomfortable bed I've attempted sleep in for as long as I can remember. My poor back.

Cons: The rooms could use an update. facilities in the room for hooking up my laptop and charging (USB) were non-existent.

Cons: Staff was not very knowledgeable about the area which was strange considering they live there. Parking is terribly overpriced and wifi is not free. Hotel overall looks very tired and run-down. Online pictures are not a true representation of what the property looks like.

Cons: As it is a historic property only valet parking available which may inconvenience some but wasn't a deterrent for me. Room service limited to a few hours daily.

Cons: I last stayed at the San Carlos about seven years ago. My how things change. I remember the hotel having character, being older and all, but now that has slipped from "character" to "run down." Everything looked slightly dingey. The walls are much thinner than I remember so everything was audible. The second floor is now the Luke Air Force Base floor, which is fine, but it looks like the decorations belong in a third-grade classroom on Luke base housing. For the amount of money that we paid there should be more amenities. Instead it looks like they are going for minimum service with maximum profit. The hotel needs a serious overhaul.

Cons: The rooms were old and small. Yes, old building, charm, history, cool, but in the heart of downtown Phoenix in this modern age, you can update your buildings to keep the old charm and still allow for the enjoyment of modern conveniences. A hotel is a customer service oriented business and the building itself is crucial to the customers experience. Our room was very small but ok, could be livable with the right amenities. Very few outlets so tough to charge up computers and phones. None in the Bathroom! None! So I had to blow my hair dry in the other room. The bathroom had a huge sink but zero counter space. So what was the counter put my toothpaste, make up, hairbrushes and such on while i got ready? A toilet seat. Yup. No counter in the bathroom. It had the charm of an old place with the type of tile but so much of the tile was chipped and the paint peeling away from the walls it just felt old and dirty and run down. The drain in the shower didn't work well and I was standing in several inches of water while I showered. No room to room AC so you were at the mercy of how cool the people at the hotel wanted to keep the place. In AZ its 100+ all the time. I bet our room at night was 77 degrees or more. We were sweating and it made sleeping tough. We probably will opt for a more modern place just for the AC and clean feel next time and be willing to pay a higher price for it.

Cons: Bathroom

Cons: Please fix the ice machines that were broken on each floor. And a second working elevator would be great, the past two years I have stayed there only one worked.

Cons: The staff

Cons: You can hear everything. Every sneeze or soft whisper from other rooms. The windows let every street noise in.

Cons: The bed was a little hard.

Cons: I was given a room key for a room that was already occupied. Then, the guests on my floor (3) were loud all night, as if there was a party in the hallway outside my door.

Cons: Downtown Phoenix doesn't have much to offer for family fun. The bar directly below the hotel is rather loud until the wee hours.

Cons: The room was very small in comparison to newer hotels.

Cons: The room was clean, but the electrical was scary. Best was hard and saggy in the middle. I amenities in lobby. Not historic just old and neglected.

Cons: Room was last renovated in 1945 or so.

Cons: The front desk lady was extremely rude to start. Absolutely zero parking although the add indicated parking is available. We had to PAY for parking and walk 5 blocks in the 110 heat. No breakfast. The bathroom door had no lock. And, the kicker is this morning I have little bites all over me!

Cons: Be careful: do not get an adjoining room.

Cons: I don't expect much when it comes to amenities, but the bathroom didn't even have soap. Like, so I could wash my hands. Both elevators were broken the entire time too

Cons: Only 2 concerns: 1) Kayak, the agency I booked through should have included the "historic", $5/day" charge in their quote for the room; and 2) the bathroom was very small - which was not a problem for me but would have been a problem for a large person.

Cons: Thankful there were lots of close restaurants. The Vietnamese restaurant was outstanding. Realize that costs and parameters limit what can be done for historic landmarks, but carpeting needs updating, wall art (movie star pictures, etc.) could be updated. And...would be great to receive a handout of all the special floor 'tourist points' or history. Ended up going floor to floor to read everything and see everything.
