Rise Uptown

Staff and Service: Guests frequently complimented the hotel staff for being friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The service at the pool and bars was often highlighted as excellent, contributing to a positive overall experience.

Great place! Very cool vibes and the patios are awesome! Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby too. Showers are out in the open no privacy, so not a family place but no problem for couples.

I met a friend in Phoenix and we stayed at the Rise. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. The part of the hotel that we stayed in was a renovated older hotel with large rooms in very good condition with interesting retro-mid-century modern/modern industrial feel. The staff was charming, attentive, and clearly cared about our experience. The roof restaurant was not open, but Lylo was at the bartender provided excellent service and was friendly and welcoming. The appetizer (dirty fries) that we share was tasty and appropriately priced. The pool area was very cool with misters and shade awnings. All was well maintained. Only a few issues. First of all the $30 per room“resort fee” was excessive for a hotel, which was really more of a nice hotel and less of a resort, though in their defense, I knew about this coming into the situation and we did get a free craft cocktail, a small bottle of wine, and could’ve had a popsicle (some have alcohol) if we wanted one. One significant downside, particularly for business travelers), is the lack of a coffee maker in the room, which was otherwise nice and spacious with an in-room safe. Location did not feel unsafe, but was definitely commercial without surrounding walkable or fine dining options (making me “resort“ fee seem inappropriate. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and had no significant issues. Free parking was also appreciated.
