The whole experience here is fun and worth the trip. read more

Foundre - Hotels Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Super cute hotel. Good food at the restaurant downstairs. I will stay again when I'm Phoenix.

This place is not worth the $800 we spent for 3 days. Our room was dirty, the staff was rude, the bar closed hours before they were scheduled to close Because they were scared they were gonna get to many customers, the bartenders also seemed super annoyed & bothered we sat at the bar, & the beds are super hard & uncomfortable. We had to pay $20 a day for parking but yet the Parking lot was free to anyone who pulled in. Not worth it don't stay here & waste your money. We should have stayed at the Hilton down the street. read more

I travel an immense lot and I've never been to a cooler hotel! This place is soooo cool, unique, beautiful, functional. It's fascinating. Very lofty. Service is awesome too and I love the bar and restaurant atmosphere! Definitely a favorite! read more

Traveled here to go to a concert on the 20th, the staff were so friendly and helpful. Could clearly tell that I hadn't been to the area before. Offered me a map, some friendly insight into the area, recommended places to eat, and even walking to the concert venue and how to get there. The front desk ladies were very helpful, friendly, and kind. We got there a little earlier than expected, and they even offered to assist in finding a room that was already ready for check-in instead of having us wait. The rooms are spacious, clean, smelled lovely, and the beds are HUGE and very comfortable. The entire hotel is a giant collaborative art piece, absolutely stunning and very pet friendly. (YES, head pats, compliments, and dog treats included) The restaurant, bar and gift shop were so fun. Everyone involved our very goofy dog. Absolutely loved him. Everything is clean and adequately priced. We would go out of our way during travel just to stay here again. Thank you for a great experience. read more

Excellent staff, kept the unhoused at bay, friendly staff! Nice little store/restaurant/bar wide selection of merchandise from Nic nacs to food and drink!! We scored a good deal via Expedia sub 150$ with resort fees, restaurant was affordable under 25$ for two to eat full breakfast read more

This boutique hotel has become quite popular in the five months that they have been open. First time we came was back in February, and we came back and stayed here again for the Phoenix ComicCon event. I still enjoy staying here. Some things to keep in mind: 1) The management tacks on $80.00/night on top of your already high nightly rate. The lady at the front desk explained that this was for incidentals, and will be released back to my credit card account. 2) There is a $25.00/day for valet parking. 3) When we stayed at one of the VIP suites on the 8th floor, the management inspected the entire suite prior to our check-our. So, if this is still standard protocol for Found:re as part of their check out process, do plan ahead and anticipate about a 20-30 minute wait for the inspection staff to come up to your room. So if you're needing to leave to go home or to catch a flight--please be aware of this policy of theirs. (ETA: I was told this policy applies only if you had a pet stay in the room with you). 4) I don't recall ever paying for our meal before we get seated at Match (their restaurant) when we visited in February. But this time, during Memorial Day weekend, we paid upfront first. It was a little disconcerting to have to write in a tip when the lady handed me the check. Especially when service was almost non-existent (I had to request two glasses of water since the server didn't offer it when he seated us). Paying $40+ for breakfast for two people should warrant prompt and courteous attention from the staff, of which we didn't get. 5) There are no bathtubs in our suite nor in our double bed room. Apparently there are none throughout this hotel. Be aware that if you're not showering carefully, flooding can occur in the entire bathroom. In our suite back in February, the toilet room was in a separate area, but in our double bed room the toilet area was also in the shower room. I still give Found:re the five stars because of the outstanding industrial architecture which to me is an original idea. Not to mention that local artists have their art shown in a gallery fashion, and the art seems to change periodically. And they serve Karma juice as well as pretty good coffee at their restaurant. The Keurig in the room serves one 8-ounce cup of java at a time. But I'm not complaining. read more

Not good: Rude staff with snottty attitude, "amenities" fee added to the bill but never mentioned on Orbitz or at checkin/out. Wanted to charge outrageous parking fee (I parked elsewhere instead). Dedicated to draining your wallet but no thought for guest relations. Silly concrete and exposed conduit architecture in the room was cold and uninviting, sort-of-art-deco steampunk architecture with bad art everywhere else. Internet hardly works. Okay: Bed was comfy. Bathroom was a little funky-smelling but design was cool. read more

I just realized I didn't take a photo of my amazing room! I got a King room and I loved the decor- very modern and industrial! My bed was very comfortable, big balcony with a view, loved the big shower and the proximity to the public transit Metro! Got everywhere in under 15 mins. But I must say because it is modern- you can hear a lot of the noises- like doors slamming and the people about you walking. Very little and I am light sleeper but it's true . Other than that, would definitely stay again! read more

Foundre - Outside - Hotels Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Stayed 3 nights and 4 days. The staff were sweet and the food was pretty good. The art was very beautiful. The location is excellent which makes the views very nice. The amenities are decent. The gym is nice, decent sized pool, the art walk is also fun to check out. The fee that came with it also includes two mid sized water bottles per day and coffee. The rooms were not super clean, parts of that has to do with the modernness of everything. The shower had noticeable dirty grout, there were stains on the curtains and chairs. Its also worth noting no one cleaned my room in between the days and nights i was there despite have the "refresh" sign they give on my door while i was out. Walking in the lobby i also heard others complain about it to the front desk. The most annoying part is that you can hear almost every bit of your neighbors conversation through the walls. I would recommend trying to get the top floor because you definitely can hear every step your upstairs neighbor makes-you also can smell their cigarettes and weed. The sheets and towels are on the thinner side. The robe that they give you looks absolutely filthy. Overall I wouldn't come back until i knew for sure it was getting a deep clean. For what you pay you expect just a bit more but the art sorta helps compensate. read more

My friend and I had dinner for New Years there and the food was terrible, I ordered the mushroom risotto appetizer...so undercooked that it was crunchy. My friend ordered the lobster bisque which was so salty neither one of us could eat more than 2 bites. We ordered the steak entree served "family style" which was ok...the best part of the meal was the augratin potatoes...and the portion was really only enough for one person. Dessert was also ok, nothing too exciting. It was a very disappointing meal, however our waitress was very attentive and nice. Not sure if I will ever go back to eat there again. After dinner we sat in the lounge off of the lobby drinking our cocktails, and were promptly told that entire area was for VIP only. We purchased tickets to the masquerade party which we knew covered our admissions and masks, but what we didn't know was that because we didn't get the VIP tickets we were only allowed to be in the brightly lit ballroom....off to the side and completely away from the DJ, main bar, and the rest of the crowd in the lounge. The ballroom was set up with a mobile bar and was standing room only. It was so uncomfortable in the ballroom we left after about an hour. All in all a hugely over priced sub par dinner and a very disappointing party. We were treated much better at bar in North Phoenix where we celebrated the New Year. read more

I had high hopes for this place but... let me start with a simple fact that they ask for your credit card when you check in but don't tell you that they put a hold on it in the amount of $80... which is understandable but I work with customers and I would get fired if I would not inform my clients about that... air conditioner kept me up all night, it was very loud and blow on me all night like crazy and I had it at 75! Decor is cool and hip , which is nice, Bed was comfortable. The restaurant is trying to be something hip but it is not.... food was interesting but flavors where lacking, I made a mistake of ordering the raw tuna and I fell off all night. All in all neat cool place with great kitchen and decor ideas (wood fired oven and grill!) They are just lacking in the off season. read more

Stayed here for 2 nights and by far our favorite hotel we have stayed at! Super convenient downtown location walking distance to some great spots including Desoto Market and Forno 301. Found:re has an amazing iPad with recommendations and valet service which led us to both restaurants that we loved! The rooms are beautiful, the hotel is funky, the amenities are top notch, the shower was heaven! We couldn't have asked for a nicer weekend spot and reluctantly had to check out. Only cons I have - no self park option with $25 a night for parking , the rooms are not incredibly insulated and we could hear our neighbors obnoxious music blasting at 7am, and lastly the AC had trouble keeping up with no fan running option - i.e. No white noise to sleep with. All of which would not deter me from staying again because we loved our experience! read more

Pluses - Fun and plentiful original art to look at - Cool industrial design everywhere - Good food in restaurant - Bar and restaurant open to outside - Nice little pool - Wonderful, fun, walkable neighborhood full of fun cafes and restaurants, plus a light rail stop just outside. Minuses - HUGE minus: The beds are as hard as rocks. Found:re, please get rid of them asap and replace with Casper mattresses or something. You're too nice a place for these granite beds! The bedding was pretty rough also; smoother sheets please? - Walls pretty thin: I could every cough and clink in the next rooms, next to us and above. - Service in restaurant was execrable: Our dinner took 30 minutes to arrive (almost empty restaurant) and server came once then never again, though I saw her chatting with coworkers in kitchen while we ate. - $25/day valet parking steep (plus tips) but pretty necessary since street alternatives not very palatable. read more

Clearly they've got a lot of kinks to work out. Nice remodel, but the service is laughably bad. We only stayed 1 night and that was *quite* enough. A few highlights: --Email confirmation said check-in was at 3p. Arrived at 3:15 and was told that check-in was actually 4p because we reserved a "big room." No apology. --Booked a large suite room because I was traveling with my husband and brother. Reserved that room type for 3 because they said the room could accommodate 3 and they had rollaway beds, etc. There wasn't any rollaway set up when we arrived, and when we asked about it they said they didn't have any and were otherwise sold out so couldn't offer us any other rooms. Later that night they told us they could offer us a different room but would have to up-charge us another $100. So apparently they weren't sold out after all. We asked for some extra pillows and blankets so we could try to create a make-shift bed on the world's smallest loveseat. A security guard brought us a dirty blanket and two pillows without any pillowcases. My brother slept contorted on doll-sized loveseat. Again, no apologies. --When we arrived there were leftover food service trays lining our hallway outside of various rooms. They were all still there when we left nearly 24 hours later. Gross. Get it together folks. You might have a nice remodel but that's about it at this point. read more

Amazing, beautifully done place to stay with lots of extras and well thought out rooms. Stayed for first Friday and will be back again soon!

This is a 2 star hotel, let's be honest. Below average rooms, with "industrial" feel but more like quickly put together cheap feel. This place feels like it was transformed from a factory to a hotel in 10 days. Customer service is 1/10, especially front desk agents with an attitude. Do better, all around. Would not recommend staying here, especially if you are expecting anything somewhat nicer or luxurious experience. Next time sleeping in my car instead, would be a better and more luxurious experience. read more

Ok, so I have been here for only a few hours so far. Me and my husband own restaurants in the Houston area, so we always see the little things. With that, I have to say WOW!! This hotel is amazing. The staff is very friendly and gave us some background info about the hotel. The rooms...amazing and clean. There are so many amazing small details that make this room awesome. You can tell they spared no expense in designing this place. From the faucets to the bed all the way to even the light fixtures. Just awesomely cool! Great job! If ever in the area I will definitely be staying here again! read more

I like that it's a hotel that features the work of local artists and uses cups made out of recycled wine bottles. The bathrooms in the lobby are also designed to be gender inclusive. The heart of downtown is just a a couple stops away or a 15 minute walk. If you want to stay close, the neighborhood has some nice restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The room was urban industrial chic, with amazing shampoo and conditioner by Bigelow and Co. Walls are thin and floor is concrete so talking loudly/jumping around is not recommended. I booked a King Balcony Suite but was given a King Standard room. I was disappointed that I couldn't be moved to even a Deluxe King Balcony but considering I booked a low rate through Agoda, I won't complain too much. I wouldn't pay rack rate for the room we got though. Housekeeping could've been more thorough with replenishing items in our room. I would like to offer some constructive criticism as somebody who has studied hospitality and tourism. We weren't welcomed on arrival. I understood we were there early and rooms still needed to be cleaned but it would've been better to offer to store our luggage in the meantime (the response I expected coming in at 9 AM) or make a few suggestions on what we could do around the hotel (check out the artwork by local artists, check out the restaurant) rather than curtly tell us that check-in was at 3 PM. Our bags were then stored upon request. I will cut her some slack since she was working Thanksgiving and she did give us our room keys before 3. Check out could also be improved with "Did you enjoy your stay?", "Thank you for staying with us, we hope to see you again", "Do you need a receipt?", and "Do you need help with transportation?". The rest of the staff is decent. The valet in the evening was great, always greeted us with a smile, and didn't hesitate to help us out of our Lyft or get our bags. I wish I had gotten his name. He's the reason I'm not rating this any lower. The hard product is great but I'm not sure if I'll stay here again because the soft product was underwhelming in areas. Hopefully, the lapses in hospitality will be addressed and improved. read more

We went to the FOUND:RE for a staycation and really enjoyed it. First, the art is everywhere and it's awesome. Every piece is for sale and it brings a great vibe to the place. The rooms are interesting. They're small but the space is used efficiently and they're very industrial. My husband welds so he geeked out on all the features. The bar downstairs is nice as the windows open up in good weather. The bar staff was not impressive as they took turns talking about all the other servers. In the restaurant, we had great service and a good breakfast. We'd recommend their chicken sandwich with amazing apricot habanero sauce. If I was visiting from out of town, I'd definitely stay here. The FOUND:RE is convenient to light rail and to lots of options for coffee, eating and live music. read more

Nice hotel and restaurant. The chicken sandwich was a highlight. Will def be back the next time I'm in Phoenix.

Summary: STAY HERE!! We booked a (highly recommended) suite for just an overnight "staycation"; we live in Phoenix. Read all the hype about FOUND:RE, so we decided to check this property out and see first hand: Never thought I would be completely enamored with an artsy boutique hotel in of all places, Phoenix, but I am with FOUND:RE! Loved the plethora of fine art throughout the entire ground floor (and also in our room). This is NOT your typical, boring, cookie-cutter Phoenix hotel, this is something new (and IMPROVED)! A blend of art gallery and boutique hotel; FOUND:RE is more than a place to stay, it truly is an experience. As stated, I booked a suite and was utterly WOW'd! I should mention: I am NOT easily WOW'd (I have traveled a lot and can be a hotel's worst nightmare). Staff were all friendly and were eager to make sure we were happy; they accommodated my special birthday request. Was celebrating my partner's birthday, and it will definitely be a memorable one. Back to the suite: The detail put into our room was AMAZING! The woodwork is fantastic. and all the fixtures are art in themselves. It is has outlets with USB chargers built-in, at convenient locations. The 2-Person Walk-In Shower (!!!) blew my mind (It is summer in Phoenix: I took 3 in one day)! Room stayed nice and cool (very important when it is 100+ out). The decor was totally modern and fun; didn't want to leave the room! And yes, the room was spotless when we arrived, with LOTS of towels (pet peeve: too few towels!). The view from the balcony of Portland St and the city skyline from east to west was something unexpected (and as a Phoenician - was a view I have never seen). Locals or visitors who are looking for something different, definitely need to check FOUND:RE out! Should also mention that the restaurant, MATCH, is as wonderful too, but that is another review... read more

Great service, flavorful food and casual atmosphere! It was the first weekday with a high of mid 80s and they had the windows open throughout the restaurant. It couldn't have been better weather for my first time at this new boutique-ish, hip, downtown restaurant. Their ingredients are locally sourced which is a huge selling point for me. What a great way to support your community and local businesses. We ordered the Gregorio pizza as an appetizer, the lamb Gyro and the beef burger. They were all delicious. Fresh and full of great flavor. Of course we had to finish our meal with dessert. What meal can be complete without dessert? I don't remember the exact names because they're very unique but we got the chocolate mouse and the Dulce de Leche/shortbread/coconut ice cream desserts. I've included a photo of our dessert so you can see how unique they have designed them. It's literally a masterpiece of art in itself giving off the true vibe of this hotel. When you're done, you can walk around and check out all of the amazing artwork. It's like a mini museum in itself. A must dine! read more

So torn. This place actually has quality food and drinks, delicious in fact however strongly lacking in the hotel hospitality aspect. The front desk is rude, slightly stand offish and will and answer your questions in a manner that makes you feel stupid. It's as if your doing them a disservice for pestering them with questions/issues. The phone in our room is non functioning, and the toilet sounds like the water is running all night long. The grout in the bathroom looks dirty, and there was reminisce of the previous guests dry shaving cream on the shower head. For the room prices, I was expecting more. Feeling underwhelmed and wishing I'd booked elsewhere... read more

I am SUPER disappointed in this place, I called to have a surprise party for this place, because another place canceled on me. Spoke to a Mike, and he said he could accommodate my party size, we finally decided on a few options and was set to go, I resent my invites out after he told me yes he could do it. I made sure I asked more than once. He said yes and even offered an option for the restaurant next to it. I get a confirmation from all 30 guests plus my Dj , and mike calls me back 2 HOURS later and tells me he can't , because they didn't want us to use the restaurant next to it, and wanted us to use their menu and charge me 3000 dollars. WHY EVEN OFFER? I don't care if it was a last minute call, they knew it was a last minute call when I spoke to them and RECONFIRMED if they could do it. DO NOT BOOK with this place read more

Here for only a night, but have enjoyed all the details of the room, and the extensive art collection. Staff is friendly and the restaurant is amazing. I will be back for sure read more

Horrible customer service. I booked this hotel for an upcoming trip at the end of March, however had to cancel the trip because of the national pandemic going on. When canceling I was told my rate was nonrefundable and I would not be able to get my money back. I feel that this is an absolute disgrace due to the fact that I am canceling this trip against my own will. I strongly suggest booking elsewhere. And if you decide to stay here make sure you do not book a discounted rate. They are clearly money hungry I will not make any exceptions even in a historical national emergency. read more

This hotel is seriously chíc. The decor is very industrial modern which I'm here for. Important things first: Beds- Comfortable, soft, high end linens and amazing pillows. I actually slept well, which is rare for hotel stays. Room- Large with plenty of space. They don't have closets so you can't hang items that need to be hung - but i'm sure theres some request you can put in for hangers at the front desk. Bathroom - interesting. The shower is like a large stall with the sink going from the shower through to the actual room. Sounds weird - kind of is but cool. Large area to splash around in there. Bath towels are nice but could be plusher. You get a robe which is always a plus for me in hotels. Curtains provide enough to black out the room to sleep but the small mini fridge makes some light, so bring a sleep mask if you need darkness to sleep. The pool area is small but nice to have. The restaurant is full service outside and also a plus. Restaurant/bar area is great. Very affordable and accommodating. The missing star is because the hotel walls are pretty thin and you hear everything that goes on outside/upstairs and next door. read more

This is an interesting hotel. Pros: very clean, smells great, fun atmosphere, modern style, decorated well, loved the concrete floors and blue/white accents, nice staff, walking distance to light rail. Cons: very, very, very small/simple pool (this was super disappointing), valet only parking at $25/day (there is free street parking nearby, if you can find it), expensive bar/restaurant attached, other guests room services dishes sat in hallway for almost 24hours. I would probably stay here again but I can't say it's the best place I've stayed. I struggled between 3 & 4 stars. read more

This place has amazing customer service, a great bar and the rooms are beautiful. My only complaint is a major one. The curtains are poorly designed so that at one end it won't close all the way and if it's bright outside the sun shines directly on your bed. read more

Wife and I stayed here two nights in February. (Friday and Saturday) I got a "deal" off priceline.com where you don't know which hotel you booked till you pay for it. We're we really excited about where it picked. Looking up the hotel and seeing the pics of the room and location had us ready to go! Check in was fast and professional, valet was exactly what you want and overall no issues. When were blown away by all the art in the hallways and around the hotel. My favorite was the pink Storm Trooper. Once we got into the room, we couldn't believe our eyes. They did a REALLY nice job in decorating. Couldn't ask for a more "hip" and "rustic" look. King bed was comfy and everything else was just right. Location is great, metro super close if you need it. The bar down stairs was super chill. Bartender there was great and the old fashion he made was tasty. We enjoyed two. Didn't try the restaurant, so I cannot speak to that, but the food we saw looked good! We would defiantly stay here again for a great "stay-cation" read more

Found:Re was amazing!!! My friend and I took a trip to Phoenix for the weekend and had the best stay. We were in the double room and it was very spacious. Ample amount of outlets, natural light, and the soap/shampoo/conditioner/shower gel were high quality. The location is very convenient as well - lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance. It happened to be First Friday when we visited, which I definitely recommend checking out as well. We also ate at Match, the restaurant downstairs, for breakfast two of the days and food was delicious. read more

This place may look cool, but it turned out to be uncomfortable in many ways. There is no bath tub and only a shower stall, but there is nothing to contain the water so it would stream towards the toilet. So basically, the whole bathroom was filled with water. The beds are uncomfortable and the rooms smell. A few good things would be that they have a small gym to work out at and their art pieces on the walls are cool. Probably wouldn't stay here the next time we come to Phoenix tho. Cool theme and all but uncomfortable. Most staffs are pretty friendly except for one girl at the front desk. read more

My husband and I use to live in downtown Phoenix recently purchased a home in Peoria, AZ. For our 9th year anniversary, decided to stay in a hotel and hang out in downtown. We were looking at hotels, we have stayed at The Palomar in the past but, wanted something different, then we came across Found:re Hotel and instantly was intrigued and said yes to the hotel. The decor in the room was amazing! Enjoyed every detailed that was put in. Very convenient location. Also loved our view! The staff was also friendly. My husband and I have agreed this has now become our hotel. read more

Incredible hotel! We absolutely loved everything about our stay here. The rooms are so chic with their industrial vibe. They provide lovely essentials for taking showers. Walk in spacious shower makes it easy to take a double shower if you're up for a romantic night ;) We took a tour of the first floor to view the gallery of artwork but we wished they allowed us to venture to other floors - unfortunately you cant go beyond the floor your room is on. We weren't able to enjoy the restaurant or bar but they did have a DJ so I could see this being a great spot for a date too. read more

What is not to love about this hotel? From the moment we arrived, late Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we were greeted with a smile and a warm welcome by Erin at the front desk. The valet helped us unload our car and kept our dog occupied for a few minutes while we gathered everything. (By the way, they LOVE dogs here, and there is NO additional charge for pets...how awesome is that?!). For the rest of our stay everyone was fantastic. Front desk people, valets, restaurant staff, housekeeping, everyone went above and beyond our expectations. Very happy we decided to stay here and would not hesitate to stay again. Hotel is close to lots of yummy food, and right across the street from the light rail, so convenient to many great destinations up and down the central corridor. Great location! read more

For most of my life the story was the same ... Hilton or Marriott, with a few unfortunate instances of Motel 6 thrown in to keep me humble. That's because the only other option used to be incredibly snooty, stuffy and expensive fancy show-off hotels (and I've stayed in most of them as well). Then a few years ago a new kind of hotel started popping up with trendy names, trendy décor, trendy guest policies and yet budget-friendly rates. The Found:Re is one of those trendy places. At 10 months into operation it's still relatively new as I write this and my first word of advice is don't even read those first dozen or so reviews that blasted them for not being perfect in the hotel's initial few weeks of operation. Not that all is well with them, not after 10 months of operations when we should reasonably expect the opening day jitters to have been smoothed out. Before going on with this let me make it clear that the Found:Re is NOT downtown nor is it in the heart of any action. In reality it's surrounded by retirement apartments, a nice but sedate park and fun places like churches and libraries. But to get to downtown or to the action you can simply walk out the front door and hop on Phoenix's relatively decent light rail train, which will even take you directly to the airport. This hotel is stellar, almost out of place in conservative buttoned down Phoenix. The design, the flow, the art, the people, the bathrooms, the knock-your-socks-off balcony suites, the restaurant/bar. And at least while they're new and it's off-season the standard room rates are crazy CHEAP!! Oh yeah, those bathrooms. The any gender johns in lobby for example, some of which have one-way mirrors so the joke's on the person standing on the other side prettying themselves up while you're in there doing your business watching them (of course the REAL joke is that they're not really one-way mirrors ... those people on the other side can see everything you're doing). The other exhibitionist bathrooms are the ones in some of the guest rooms, the showers have clear glass walls and no doors. If you happen to be rooming with your grandmother or a nun, maybe you may want to suggest they look out the window at the awesome view while you clean up. (Okay some of this stuff isn't really true, but it sounded funny). The Found:Re is definitely not in the heart of what anyone would call action unless you enjoy watching seniors on motorized scooter races. Oh, by the way, if you book through a third-party and they don't tell you about the deposit to your credit card or the rather hefty valet fee you can't really blame the hotel, can you? My on-site reservation agent was spot-on explaining all of the above and more. There were no surprises, just a chill way to get out of the house on a Saturday night and unlax at Phoenix's most unique new hotel. However not all is 100% rosy in Found:re Land. Some of the not-so-good things probably aren't very correctable, like for example the design of the shower pretty much guarantees the rest of the bathroom floor will get flooded. And the cement floors in the guest rooms are sure to give you cold feet. They are among dozens of little things I found that probably looked a whole lot better on the designer's drawing table than in real-life execution. Then there are some things that aren't that forgivable for a hotel that's been open to the public for almost a year. High on that list are the deer-in-the-headlights wait staff in the dining room named Match (which I review separately). The entire restaurant operation seems to be severely lacking in management. The servers don't know what they're serving and worse, don't seem to care. The open kitchen idea probably sounded like a great idea to someone, but not when you can hear the chefs arguing how much of an "upcharge" to hit a customer with for requesting a substitution. Cringeworthy! The people at the front desk don't act like normal front desk staff in a hotel, and that could be cool but they really don't act cool either ... just bored. The swimming pool area stylistically looks like it belongs in a Motel 6 but who came up with the idea of closing it at 10 PM on a Saturday night? I thought this place was supposed to be trendy and hipster? With all the concrete and hard surfaces the hotel is one noisy place, you can hear every footstep and hear voices from several rooms away. Add that to the insanely loud air conditioner and the trolley horn right below honking every few minutes and this hotel becomes an earplug mandatory zone. None of the above is reason to scratch the Found:re off your list, they are just missed opportunities on the hotel's part, many of which are correctable. They need to bring in an outside consultant to give them some advice on how to make what they deliver match what they promise. The bottom line is the place is a welcome change from cookie-cutter me-to hotels and I'm generally happy with our little staycation visit. read more

Such a cool spot downtown! Hotel is unique and as boutique as they come. Local art throughout that's all for sale. Even the room numbers are crafted by a local artist. No detail is left untouched. Rooms start at $89-99 during off season for regular studios- they are well thought out and include cocktail and coffee accessories. The views are to die for as well at sunset- see photo! The Cinderella story is their 8th floor suites though. Truly a loft paradise with a terrace that will leave you not wanting to leave. Match, the restaurant downstairs has killer food and one-of-a-kind cocktails meant to provoke thought and stepping out of the box. Happy hour 4:20-6:20pm. Nice sized bar and also offer a unique chefs table presentation for small groups that's sure to please!! Do yourself a favor and try it out! Next door to Fez- super close to I-10 and the 51. read more

We frequently do staycations throughout the valley and when traveling, look to stay in unique hotels. We love the industrial style and so we were excited to stay here. It turns out, the industrial decor was the only thing to like. The website states valet parking is $14. When we arrived I was told $25. Checking in took 20 minutes despite only one person in front of me. Even when it was my turn, it took abnormally long to check in. We tried calling room service/Match several times and no one answered. We got Fez across the street instead. Our neighbors were loud, except, I don't think it was them. The building is terribly built. I could hear our neighbors simply zip up their bag. I could hear everything above us, next to us, and down the hall. It made it very difficult to sleep. Half way through our stay our keys stopped working so we had to get that fixed and even that took abnormally long. On day 2 we again tried to call room service/Match and no one answered. We had to go down to the bar to place an order to go. A Valentine's Day staycation was pretty unromantic due to all of this. read more

Stayed here for 2 nights on a whim and would definitely come back! The location is the best. It's easily accessed off the I-10 and directly across the street from FEZ (which I highly recommend for an amazing Sunday brunch!) and in walking distance to many downtown hot-spots. We walked to The Van Buren for a concert and back which allowed us to avoid the nightmare of trying to park. The rooms have a super-cool industrial vibe which I love and the staff was awesome. Thanks for a great stay-cation, Found:RE! read more
