There seems to be a dearth of B&B’s and out of the ordinary places to stay in Phoenix.The Gaslight Inn was one we found. It was a fairly good experience, but not exceptional. This appears to be a vintage hotel building that has been renovated. Our room was comfortable, though ordinary except that it had fairly nice antique furnishings.

Jazz did play downstairs til about 11pm, but we kind of enjoyed it, especially the rendition of Summertime from Porgy & Bess. Dinners in the neighborhood are kind of sparse though. We searched around and tried to find a city center, even asking passersby for directions. Glendale has a nice park, a library, a massive visitor center and city office complex, but seems to be an area searching aimlessly for its lost identity. While we were there it was a once a month civic open house with live music, free ice cream, horse drawn carriage and trolly rides, etc. They tried real hard, but somehow it just didn’t seem to catch fire. After much searching, we finally settled on a local restaurant called the Spicery where we had a mediocre dinner with a glass of very mediocre house red wine. On reflection, the German place next to the Gaslight might have been a better choice.

The chocolate factory down the street was an interesting stop the next morning.

I have stayed a some very overpriced, less than terrific places in the Phoenix area. Never again...the Inn is very reasonably priced and great digs. The owners have done a fine restoration job, housekeeping is immaculate, and staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast was yummy, too.

We stayed here for the 2008 Fiesta bowl and had a wonderful time. The New Years Eve Gala (Optional) was a little spendy, but the food was fantastic and the Jazz Band featuring Nicholas Beard out of the Bay Area was really cool, they played from 8AM until about 1 AM, so in the end it was definitely worth it. As far as the Inn and room, we were pleasantly surprised and it was well worth the money at about $175 per night. The breakfast could best be described as continental....very healthy with fruit, granola, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and the most incredible scones I've had in some time....coffee was tasty too. If you are looking for a decent place to stay in the Phoenix area I would highly recommend this place and if you are going to a football or hockey game the location cannot be beat. Very nice Inn Keepers as well.

Great jazz bar with excellent music. B and B captures the flavor of old Arizona and is located in the Glendal Historic District which has interesting shops and restaurants. The rooms are well decorated and have comfortable beds. It is a nice alternative to the chain hotel feel. We enjoyed our stay and the owners are very nice.
