RISE Uptown

What a great hotel! From the free popsicles at check-in (when it was 113 degrees outside) to the recommendation for a good Vietnamese restaurant, to the really, genuinely cheerful staff - this was a wonderful place to stay. Plus the bed was comfy and the large walk-in shower had great water pressure.

No shuttle service to the airport - but with the free parking we just kept the rental car an extra day and drove to the airport.

I loved the little quirks around every turn. The pool atmosphere was relaxing and 💯 low key. Lylo restaurant bites are mouth watering. The dole whip Rum is a must-try adult beverage for guests who are all things dole whip. The Cartel Coffee bar ... tip... Dirty Chai!! You will not be disappointed.

No room service. Or maybe I'm simply a newbie to a fully tech compatibility. My biggest annoyance was in the fact that the facility was completely non - smoking but guests could rip it up on a joint no questions. Sorry but this is discrimination and unacceptable for a location who tends to run more along the hipster lines.

it’s very unique and stylish and funky for the location it’s it’s in. We loved the room theme with the radio player, eclectic feel, the topiary had a cool vibe, bed was extremely comfortable, and the balcony was nice to overlook downtown and the pool. We also appreciated the delicious popsicles.

we were right next to the elevator and didn’t quite feel as safe nor private, you could hear those getting off the elevator. also the private glass windows in the bathroom lined up to the hallway outside our room, so it felt a little less private there as well. the location to the property was also a bit sketchy at night with many bums and people asking for money, it was not a safe place to be strolling around in the evening.

The location seems strange at first, but right around the corner is a bunch of food and shops

It was hot outside.

Super cute and eclectic, the theme of the rooms was very unique and loved all the style. Staff was gracious and warm. Pool was awesome, on the smaller side but perfect

Just got back from staying at this place for a full week! I must say the whole team/staff are incredible! I was surprised on how well the texting service worked for the room service/ questions. The room: the rooms are as exactly what you’d expect from the photos. Beautiful, AC, locks and nice showers. The floor on the main level are concrete which is a nice added touch on a hot day. Very comfortable and bed was nice! The pool: Some other reviews mentioned they had issues with accessing the pool?! I legit just showed my ID and gave them my room number and had no issue with accessing the pool each day. Also the chlorine people mentioned in other reviews, are not an issue anymore! Pool side drinks and the bar they have is pure bliss. Good food, good drinks at a decent price. Each room you book has a max of two bracelets allowed under your reservation, for obvious reasons. The area: place is close enough to a lot of cute restaurants/ bars. Close to Phoenix downtown! I’d honestly stay there again tomorrow if I could! Love the spot! Next time it gets cold in Canada I’ll be back! Enjoyed my stay thank you!

Everything! The moment we arrived we were greeted by the kindest staff members that offered us free handcrafted popsicles daily. Our room was incredible…we loved the style, colors, concrete floors and deck. The bed was comfortable and the A/C worked flawlessly. The pool bar was so fun. The weekdays we were there were less crowded than Saturday, but that’s to be expected. The food at LYLO was delicious. All the outdoor and indoor spaces were furnished and decorated beautifully. We loved it!

Don’t want to complain too much, because it was probably just the position of our room—but the pool bar played very loud music even past 10pm and it was impossible to sleep until the music stopped. We’re east coasters visiting PDT so we got tired earlier. I’d say that this is more of a fun party hotel rather than a quiet place to relax. The water pressure in the shower is also weak. but theses cons are highly outweighed by how much fun we had and what a great place this is.

Fun and relaxed atmosphere. pleasant staff

Neither a coffee machine or a kettle in room. They do have a pay coffee service - but I feel having a coffee machine or kettle available for guest free of charge is a minimum expectation for any hotel anywhere They need to work on improving the scheduling and volume of activities available on site. on our last evening we wanted to stay in and enjoy the some drinks in the patio restaurant near the pool. we could not because there was a very loud fitness class going for most of the evening and the high volume was battling with the music by the restaurant. It was even loud in our room If you get a room poolside, be sure that you are okay with loud music throughout the day

The hotel design is fun and creative. Beautiful pool and the check in was quirky with a free ice lolly.

We were informed of the pool that was going to be drained on arrival which we didn't mind as it was in winter, however the building construction next door was a much bigger inconvenience than the pool and nothing was mentioned of that. My room was also the closest to the road, of the 3 that I booked. I would recommend requesting a room as far away as possible from the main road.

The property was super cute and comfortable! The Rise Uptown team went out of their way to make my husband’s birthday special. They made sure we got a room with an awesome view and sent up a bottle of champagne with two glasses for us to enjoy. We’ll definitely be back!
