A Family Stay in Downtown Phoenix Without the Resort Rate

City Center Downtown ยท September 29, 2026, 12:00:04 PM

Families who want downtown Phoenix, not a resort corridor, use City Center Downtown as a practical room at 600 W. Van Buren St. The rate stays modest so more of the budget can go to tickets and meals.

A day that makes sense with kids

The Arizona Science Center is the usual first stop. Civic Space Park is the outdoor break. When everyone is done, the room is back on Van Buren, with free cable TV and air conditioning. See hotels near the Arizona Science Center for that plan on its own.

Free Wi-Fi helps with directions and reservations. A coffee maker helps the adults before the first outing.

The room itself

Granite countertops and newer furniture are in the rooms. The front desk is open 24 hours if the day runs long. Guests with an electric car can charge on site. The building has been a mid-century downtown motel since 1959.
