    Came here for RAW ART. I thought this place was really cool for party or concert venue, unfortunately they were so disorganized with getting people in. We waited for 30 minutes in line just to get in and it seems the line just stuck and didn't move and move anywhere. If they have a better organization with the line for people to get in faster, that will be great until then it's disastrous.

    Went to see one of rap history's most iconic, innovative, trailblazing, trendsetting rappers from NY - the one and only Rakim! I could talk all day about how great the show was and how much I enjoyed seeing this legendary performer. And the Pressroom really made the whole event extra special! Drinks are not cheap but they are potent and was happy to use my Yelp free drink offer for my second one! Good Sound system which was not over powering or killing my eardrums so I could enjoy the show without my ears ringing for a week. Love the lights, sound and the staff. Great venue will be back again for another great show!

    Had a great time here seeing the show Dating Stories. The comedians were hilarious. There were seats set up for the show. The venue is smaller than others downtown, but I felt like I had enough space. Bathrooms were clean. The bar moved fast and poured strong drinks for me and my friends. There is a parking garage I used that was a few minutes walk down the street, as well as some street parking.

    Saw a punk/rock show here last night. We're not from around here so this is based off what we directly experienced. Parking: metered parking or shady paid parking lot. Paid $6 to park my car, don't know if the guy was a legit parking attendant or someone making some cash on unsuspecting show goers, but $6 wasn't bad. Better to be picked up or dropped off I'm sure. My car and stuff were fine after the show. Venue: Larger on the inside than I thought. Lots of floor space and one large bar and another smaller bar. Saw a back patio for smokers, but didn't take a look. Tons of lighting and sound was decent. Bathroom: there are like 5-6 stalls for the ladies room which isn't a lot in my opinion, the line was HUUUUGE. Also, mirrors and sinks are shared between guys and girls bathroom. Awkward much? Plus there's security who stands right outside to regulate the line and emergency exit? Bar: didn't buy drinks but a small bottle of water was $4. They also didn't have any drinking fountains or give out glasses of water for free. You HAVE to buy water or you get none at all. Since we didn't bring any money in for fear of losing it in the crowd, we were really dehydrated. Security: there's lots of them! Don't know if they've never seen a punk show before, but they literally had 3 huge dudes stand in the middle of the pit and grab people if they started even slightly pushing against other people. Grabbed crowd surfers by the ankles and yanked them down to the ground hurting more than helping. They also grabbed me when I was bent over on the floor looking for something in the crowd. Literally grabbed my waist and started yanking me away, I had to scream at them not to touch me before they stopped. Really rude and unprofessional. My experience: tickets were affordable, show started on time, lighting and sound was decent, band was killer, the crowd sucked. Also, this kid pissed someone off and got decked in the nose, which consequently broke his nose and he was gushing blood EVERYWHERE. Ran to a bar tender for some clean up and medical help. He seemed lost. Called another lady over, also seemed lost. I had to steal a towel from the bar tender and return to the floor and clean up the puddle of blood so no one stepped in it. Don't even know if anyone helped the kid or if they called him an ambulance since after the show he was sitting outside with his nose still bleeding. Blood on the dance floor, while hardcore, is really dangerous for obvious reasons, blood borne pathogens and slippery, and there was a lot and the only person cleaning it up was me? Ridiculous. Probably won't ever come back to this venue.

    The image shows a crowded indoor concert venue in Phoenix, with many attendees holding up smartphones to record or take pictures of the performance. The stage is visible with a large screen and lighting equipment, and the audience appears densely packed. The setting is a dark indoor space with a focus on the stage area.

    11,265 Arizonans are dead from covid as of today. So glad that the pressroom will happily contribute to these numbers and host concerts as our local nurses and doctors are working tirelessly to handle the pandemic.

    Now that's a whole Lotta Ass!

    Nice space, decent audio, crappy chairs. I'll go again.

I came here for a really large work party and the best way to describe the ambiance was a nice wedding reception without a wedding. We had beautifully decorated tables with assigned seats, fun music, a bar, and photo ops. The drinks were good - in my opinion they were pretty standard event cocktails. Definitely tasty, but not craft cocktail level drinks. When it came time to eat and we all went through the buffet, I had pretty low expectations since it is a buffet to feed over 100 people. I have to say though, the food was really and truly wonderful. Best event food I've had hands down. Overall if you're looking for a fun place for your next large party this is a great option. I'd be happy to have a reason to go back!

    The Moxy Hotel in Tempe has a convenient location, but it fell short in other areas…read more When you walk in, there is no traditional lobby. It's a lobby bar/game room and the bartender also serves as the person who checks you in. Rooms are bare minimum: thin mattress, no comforter just a blanket. No rugs or couch or any furniture and the walls were thin, making it hard to enjoy a quiet stay. The blackout curtains worked well. There was a huge beanbag chair which was fun. I didn't mind the lack of a closet. I thought the concept of hangers on the wall itself was funky, functional, and a better use of space in most cases. The "ironing room" -- a supposed area stocked with towels, toiletries, and other amenities. Unfortunately, it was completely understocked, for basic supplies like towels. It's clear there's a lack of attention to detail when it comes to maintaining the hotel's resources. There was a hotel restaurant but free breakfast is limited (parfait, fruit, muffin) not like other hotels in Marriott Bonvoy hotel chain offer. And overall this hotel is in a great location. Close to downtown Tempe as well as quick freeway access. Location is the only redeeming quality. The location is ideal, with a CVS right next door for any quick needs, and it's incredibly easy to catch an Uber, Lyft, or even a Waymo to explore different areas around the city.

    I've stayed at this hotel before and it used to be a great place, which makes this visit even more…read moredisappointing. The condition of the property has really gone downhill. The fourth floor looks terrible -- there are empty, broken-down rooms and the hallways feel neglected. The carpet on both the fourth floor and first floor is in very bad shape and looks like it hasn't been maintained in a long time. Inside the rooms, the flooring is actually popping up in areas, which makes the whole place feel worn out and poorly maintained. Overall, the hotel just looks very old and neglected now. The elevators are another concern. They make loud noises and honestly sound like they could break at any moment. There is also an unpleasant smell in parts of the building. When you get off the elevator and walk toward the lobby, you can see construction going on, which only adds to the messy and rundown feeling of the property. This place used to be a great stay when we first came here, but now it's honestly pretty shameful to see how much it has deteriorated. The location and concept are great, but the hotel clearly needs serious maintenance and attention.

I have been impressed by the professionalism of the staff, the layout of the very nice rooms, the way the ballroom works for large events, and the various restaurants and bars in the hotel.

I certainly recommend this as a great hotel to stay at if you are visiting Tempe or better yet, ASU, which is right nearby. The Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU offers personalized service, modern comforts, and luxurious amenities. The hotel is considered a AAA Four Diamond awarded hotel. It is right across the street from the revitalized downtown area of Tempe known as the Mill Avenue District. They have a fitness center featuring state of the art equipment, there are in-room Get Fit Kits available, and scenic hiking and walking trails near the hotel. Some guest services include a business center, full service restaurant, laundry and dry-cleaning services, a shoe shining service, WiFi, concierge, express check-in and check-out, self-parking and valet, and even an Omni Kids Crew. Rooms have many accessibility features. There are some great perks for ASU Sun Devils, alumni, and their families including up to 20% off stays, waived destination fees, special promotions and lobby activations throughout the year. There are discounts also available on the Omni Tempe Hotel - ASU page and also on their own hotel website (https://www.omnihotels.com/hotels/tempe-asu). You can also join the Select Guest Loyalty Program. From the first stay, you get a welcome beverage, earn free nights with each stay, and get free deluxe Wi-Fi. It's certainly a great new hotel for Sun Devils and visitors to Tempe to stay at any time!

The music was awesome and overall I had a great time, I would have given 5 stars if everything was cool, except not everything was cool. Main issue I have with the venue is lack of restrooms for that many people. There has to be more access to restrooms with people drinking and dancing and partying. The line for both inside and outside toilets was insane... I heard so many people commenting about the situation. Maybe next time, more porta potties outside so 1) there are more options and less lines, and 2) the ones that are available aren't so disgusting. I've used many porta johns at many festivals, for this size venue the 3 they had outside (without leaving the show) were gross. I literally could not touch anything in there. Just hover and pee. They had 2 more when you leave but there were no ins/outs so those weren't an option. This can be done better, I know cause I've been to places where taking care of peoples basic needs are more attended to. Anyway, otherwise great time. Music & sound were on point and the lasers were so cool. #ilovelazers

Warehouse 215 is a nice venue. While I don't know a ton about what types of events they host outside of the one I attended, they had portable chairs set up surrounding the performance. Not the most comfortable chairs but bearable for the hour performance. There's exposed wood on the ceiling which adds to the aesthetic. During the event I attended, there were bars both inside the main area and out (no food though) as well as bathrooms both inside the main area and out. After buying an adult beverage, I accidentally left my credit card at the bar. When I realized it a few minutes later, the bartender was waiting for me with my card. Crisis averted! Overall, pretty nice venue.
