La proprietà — Rodeway Inn
The Rodeway Inn in Phoenix is a dependable, no-frills roadside motel set back from the main drag. Its lobby is compact and functional, with a linoleum floor and a front desk clerk who’s efficient rather than chatty. The USP is location and price: you’re minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor and the light rail, and rooms are clean but basic. It suits a traveller who needs a cheap, safe place to sleep en route or between flights, not a destination in itself.
Cronache di Phoenix
Phoenix was founded in 1867 on the ruins of the Hohokam civilisation’s canal network, which was rebuilt to turn the Salt River Valley into farmland. It grew fast after the railroads arrived in the 1880s, becoming a winter resort for wealthy easterners by the early 1900s. Architecturally, the city is a sprawl of mid-century modern, adobe revival and glass towers, with Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West on the outskirts. Today it’s a sprawling Sun Belt metropolis, known for its Hispanic heritage, tech sector, and baseball spring training.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Phoenix →I migliori mesi
November and March–April: daytime highs around 25–30°C, low humidity, and plenty of sunshine. Crowds are moderate, and you can hike or explore downtown without wilting.
Peak / Festival Surge
February–March is peak season thanks to spring training baseball (Cactus League), warm weather, and school holidays. Hotel prices double, and the city feels packed. The Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament in early February also drives demand.
Stagione di spalla
October and May offer lower rates and still decent weather (highs around 32–38°C in May, 30–35°C in October). Fewer tourists, easier parking, and quieter trails.
Meteo e imballaggio
Phoenix in late June is brutal: daily highs hit 42–45°C, but humidity stays under 10%, so it’s a dry heat. Pack light, loose cotton clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and a reusable water bottle—never leave your room without one.
Briefing della città — Phoenix
- Valley Metro light rail extension to south Phoenix opened in 2026, adding stops near the airport and along Central Avenue—check the new stations for easier access downtown.
- Several downtown Phoenix hotels and restaurants have raised prices due to increased demand from a new Amazon fulfilment centre in Goodyear, driving up room rates citywide.
- The city is still under a Stage 1 water shortage, so expect signs in hotels asking guests to reuse towels and skip daily linen changes; outdoor pools may have restricted hours.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Rodeway Inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a ground-floor room at the rear of the building, away from East Van Buren Street. These rooms face the parking lot and interior of the property, reducing traffic noise. Ground floor also avoids stairs and gives direct access to parking.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid upper-floor rooms on the front side of the hotel facing East Van Buren Street. This is a busy arterial road with constant traffic, and the second floor has no lift – only stairs. Also avoid rooms near the main entrance or stairwells, where footfall and door slams carry.
Best views
No real view to speak of – the hotel sits on a commercial strip with other low-rise buildings, a petrol station, and a fast-food outlet. The best you can hope for is a rear-facing room with a view of the parking lot and some desert scrub. Front rooms overlook the street and the petrol station opposite.
Quietest floors
Ground floor only, rear-facing rooms. This two-storey building has no lift, so the ground floor is the quietest and most practical option.
🔊 Noise notes
East Van Buren Street is a six-lane arterial with heavy traffic, including lorries and emergency vehicles. The hotel has no double glazing or soundproofing typical of a budget property. Also, the exterior corridors mean you will hear doors slamming and people walking past. Ground-floor rear rooms are the best bet for sleep.
Insider tips
1. Park as close to the rear entrance as possible – ground-floor rooms at the back let you walk straight from your car to your door without stairs. Spaces are first-come, so arrive early evening. 2. The WiFi is basic and slow. If you need reliable internet for work, tether from your phone. Also, there is no EV charging so plan your charging stops before or after.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
