The Clarendon Hotel and Spa

I stayed at the Clarendon Hotel and Spa for a month, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The healthy breakfast was always fresh and delicious, and the swimming pool was amazing—perfect for relaxing after a long day. Housekeeping did an excellent job keeping everything spotless, and the front desk team was always friendly, professional, and ready to help. Parking was convenient, and from the moment I arrived, I received a warm welcome. What stood out the most was the outstanding hospitality and the way the entire staff treated every guest with genuine care and respect. Their kindness and attention to detail made my long stay comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the Clarendon Hotel and Spa to anyone visiting Phoenix and would gladly stay here again.

Admittedly, I've never heard of this hotel. But, its clearly a hidden gem. Besides spacious rooms and their pool area one of the nicest I've enjoyed. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area's history and that includes the seedy side. I truly enjoyed my stay and the food was top-notch. I recommend this hotel if you're looking for a staycation. If you have a few days to enjoy life, then this is the place for you.

I always read reviews before booking, just to get an idea of what to expect, although I still use my own judgment since experiences can be subjective. I was extremely pleased with my stay. I’ve been on a road trip through multiple states, and so far this hotel has been the best value for my money by far. The pool area alone, with the couches and overall atmosphere, was worth it. My room was super clean, comfortable, and up to date; nothing like some of the negative reviews I had read beforehand. Of course, I understand not every room may be in the exact same condition, but mine was definitely not subpar. The staff was amazing throughout my stay. There were no vending machines, but I was offered bottled water instead, which was perfectly fine. There was also plenty of parking available. The restaurant seemed fairly new, as the staff didn’t appear fully familiar with the menu yet, but that was a minor detail overall. I’ve paid much more for far less elsewhere. Super satisfied with my stay.

Rooms feel like a Mexican beach hotel from 1975. All hard surfaces. Door had a large gap at the bottom that let light through making sleep difficult. Breakfast was included with the room and prepared fresh in the hotel restaurant. Breakfast was by far the best part of the stay but the dining area is plagued by blinding morning sun through large windows with no curtain for protection .

This place is a gem and now it’s getting a little polish. 1960s style courtyard hotel with hottub and pool. It is well staffed with room and pool area cleaning crew plus a friendly front desk and restaurant staff. People matter at hotels these days. This feels like a team. Jade, Arlo, and Emily at the restaurant and bar simply awesome. I love this hotel. Free parking, great central location to drive or scoot a lot of places. Give it a go!

Located within 10 minutes of the Phoenix Art Museum and Churn, one of the best ice cream shops I’ve ever tried. Clean rooms and good service. The cleaning lady was very kind and gave us extra towels when we asked for them. She went above and beyond and tidied up the bathroom for us as well. Pool is well maintained though it was too hot for me to try out myself. The Lazy Bee spa is also an excellent little spot, though it was all booked out.
