Shower drain was almost completely non-functional, couldn't get hot water prior to a flight in the a.m., the bed was in rough shape, and overall the room was beat up and dirty. Honestly this was among the worst hotels I've stayed at in a long time, and it was far from cheap. There's a decent facade on the exterior (and in the listing photos), but it's a guide for abject decrepitude.

The management staff was made aware of major trouble I had with my room. I was told two times that one of the managers would call me to discuss... never happened. My first night there the roof leaked through my ceiling and into my bed with me... major leak and I was hit directly in the face with dirty water. I needed to change rooms at 2:30 in the morning. To add insult to injury, my last night there, my air conditioner failed. Again, no follow up from the hotel leadership team. I'm forced to assume my poor experience there wasn't very important to them.

The room was quite dated with an old, gross shower. The room was big but it would have been nice to have a dresser or a bigger table. It just felt like a lot of wasted space. The key card didn't work several times. The maintenance guy fixed it then it stopped working again 2 days later. We got a text at 6:20 am that there was no cook for breakfast that day. The pool was very nice with lots of seating. Parking was convenient.

Overall, the hotel was clean and had a somewhat hip vibe. However, my first-time experience was ultimately unpleasant. The initial room I was assigned was inaccessible because the key card reader was not working. While the staff was very friendly and accommodating, the replacement room was also disappointing. Although I was given a larger room for the same price, the air conditioning unit was not functioning properly. It did cool the room, but it continuously leaked water onto the floor between the bathroom and bedroom.

I used most of the towels to soak up the water and chose not to report the issue at the time, as I did not want to switch rooms for a third time. I did, however, bring the problem to the front desk upon checkout the following morning.

My overall impression is that while the hotel may appear hip and stylish on the surface, there seems to be a significant issue with deferred maintenance. On a positive note, parking was free.

Usually the Clarendon is amazing. This time was a little different. Room 325 needs the bathtub scrubbed out or replaced. The bottom of the tub has black residue embedded in the tub. Also the blinds do not shut. At all. Which was a little annoying for privacy reasons, but more so when trying to sleep in while the sun shines right through.

My wife and I stayed here for a couple days and the best way to describe what we got for a room was “it’s just a room” it has a bed, three lamps, a steamer that was filthy, and a bathroom. Our toilet was broken and wasn’t even attached to the ground all the way so when we sat down on it it tilted to the side and slammed back down when we got up and it was plastered together. The three lamps in the room are the only forms of light you get, there’s no actual light to turn on so it was dark the entire time we were there. It did its job for the small trip we made but I wouldn’t stay here again.

I’d stay here again if it was just me. The rooms were nice, A/C very good, but the common areas could use a coat of paint, the door frames all have chipped paint. The parking lot, while nice size and covered carports, had what seemed like years of dirt, broken asphalt and is in need of a power sweep.
The staff was actually very nice and were an asset to the property

Again the rooms were good size and did not need much refreshing, but the common areas are very tired and overdue for refurbishment.

The hotel sent me a message the day of arrival of pool closing. We arrived, they told us the restaurant will be closed also. The roof top bar will be closed. The key card to lock your room did not work. The door could be easily pushed in. Did not feel safe whatsoever. Even saw cleaning people just pushing the doors in without using the card. Had to either buy groceries or go walk to only one of two restaurants to eat. Very inconvenient. I would highly recommend never ever coming to this place ever.

Staff was pleasant and accommodating however the property, the room, and the amenities were all subpar for such a highly rated hotel. I understand how the availability of amenities allows for this to be considered a 3 1/2 star hotel however the spa, restaurant, and roof top bar were all closed for renovations. That would make this a 2 star hotel at best! The 7.4 rating on Expedia must be from very old reviews. I selected this hotel as a previous guest over 10 years ago and back then it was a chic, modern contemporary, boutique hotel that appeared to be recently renovated. Now, it has signs of neglect all over the property, inside the rooms, and even with the very few amenities that were still available. It is as if no one cares what the property, or what the rooms look like. We booked for two nights but could only stand one night and graciously asked for a refund which was provided without question. It is as if the staff understood and most likely experience requests like ours for refund on a daily or weekly basis. The Clarendon, more like the Claren-don't-stay here.

There was no mention of this on their website when i boked just a week ahead. No restaurant, no bar no pool bar. The signs said \"Closed for the Summer\". So they had plenty of time to update the website. And by the way Summer was over a month ago. And why do you close a pool in the summer in Phoenix? Beds being moved i and out of the facility both days clogging the halls. Workers talking oud in the hallways. Construction going on incessantly. There was a lamp in my room that would strobe randomly throughout the night even when turned off. Continental breakfast was minimal. Bed must have been switched out because it was comfortable. All drains drained so that was good. Appeared clean and kept up. The best thing about the stay was that you were provided with free bottled water.
