I have stayed at this Hampton Inn many times. I have never had any problems, each stay has been a pleasurable experience. There are 5 or 6 hotels near this area, this is the beginning of Phoenix as you come in from the west. It is convenient for me as I have business contacts nearby, close and simple.

The facility is modern and clean. This last stay I noticed they had new bedding comforters and pillows, much better than before. Out of all the hotels on the west side near i-10, this one is probably the best. The facility is secure, & the staff is professional. I think they must have upgraded the wifi internet connection also. I have stayed in all parts of this hotel and never had such a strong connection as I did this last stay.

The complimentary hot breakfast is similar to most other Hampton Inns I've stayed at. Eggs, a meat, cereal, breads and fruit.

I agree with others that it's not the best area, but it's not the worst either. There is not much nearby except a 24 IHOP. I have walked there at night, but I am a big male and I dont recommend walking out at night for for everyone.

Over all I like the Hampton Inn I-10 west and recommend it to others staying in that part of town.

It's a shame that this Hampton is stuck where it is, sandwiched between the Travelers inn and the Phoenix West Inn, in an area where I do not suggest walking alone at night. Yes it is convenient, right off I-10 at 51st., in an area known as Phoenix West. This several block area is dominated by trucker traffic due to the large facility very near for fueling, etc. 18-wheelers are everywhere; not just for diesel fuel, but there are plenty of warehouses nearby as well. However, the only truck noise I heard was in the morning when the overnight truckers started up in the morning at the Phoenix West Inn.

I don't know how long ago the hotel was remodeled, but it must have been very recent., inside and out. The grounds are well maintained, but step off their property onto Lasham St. and it looks like a junkyard.

Local [walkable] dining is equally dismal, with a few fast food places, and an IHOP. If you want 'real' food, plan on driving a few miles to 75th. Ave. The only full service hotel in the area is the Holiday Inn across I-10. I went there for a few minutes, but it is located in a similar scary area.

The large, spotless room itself was great! When I booked it online I had my choice of an easy chair [see photo] or a sleeper sofa. WiFi was fast and easy to connect. The desk area had plenty of available AC sockets. In fact, there was a socket IN the base of the desk lamp. Nice touch! Embarassing selection of TV channels, as in not many.

The pool area looked inviting, but it was unlit and the water was too warm to be refreshing after a warm day.

Breakfast was a definite highlite, with an excellent fresh selection of everything you would expect from a Hampton lately. It seemed that there was always somebody there checking food supply and refilling if needed. The eating area was large with many tables, and plenty of room.

The hotel seems very security consious. The only way to enter the hotel without a room key is through the lobby. At the other entrances, a room key IS required, and this is 24-hours a day.

If you need a place to stay in this area, the Hampton does the job nicely, IF you have a car. Now that I think about it though, I cant imagine how you would get there anyway, without transportation.

Stay there, but don't venture into the night. What a shame...

Watch out for the cancellation policy at this Hampton Inn and the attitude of the management. They have a 24 hour cancellation policy unlike essentially other Hampton Inns which have a 6 pm policy.

My husband and I stayed at the Hampton Inn for one night (April 9, 2005). We were upgraded to an executive room without asking. It was a lovely room--immaculate, tastefully decorated, with microwave/mini-refrigerator. The bed was very comfortable, but the pillows were flimsy. The bathroom had lots of counter space. The breakfast buffet included a couple of hot items. (That morning it was "egg patties" and biscuits and gravy.) We have no complaints about the Hampton Inn; we just felt that it was overpriced. We paid $120 for what was supposed to be a standard room. That was by far the highest rate we paid in all of Arizona, from Tucson to Flagstaff.
