FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel

Found de Phoenix definitely has the cool vibes from the foyer to the rooms. It's a casual, laid-back hotel with an industrial feel. The rooms have polished concrete floors which is fantastic if you're not into carpets like me. The bed is comfy and there is a seating area and table. It's roomy. Bathrooms reminded me of a locker room with the grey tiling with full size bathroom products for use. Free self-parking located behind the hotel which is great. Staff at the front desk are very cool and chill. This is not a stuffy corporate chain hotel. There are lots of fun quirks and touches in the rooms and main areas. And a lot of art on the walls. Location is at the edge of downtown, so pretty quiet compared to the downtown buzz. Valet is only available on the weekends.

Local from Phoenix who did a staycation here for wife's birthday. Check in was fast and easy. The Hotel is clean and very neat. Restaurant on site, shop and art gallery. Walking distance to everything in downtown Phoenix. The only thing I didn't like was how noisy the hotel was. You could hear everything. We stayed in a Deluxe balcony room that had an adjoining door to another room. When the people staying next door came back late at night, you could hear every word of their conversation as if they were in the same room. While it is true that those (at least a couple of them) staying next door were inconsiderate and loud. I think that the hotel could do more to buffer the sound between rooms, maybe put a sweep or something under the door. We used a bed runner and it seemed to help. Overall, it was a decent stay, we had a good view of the Irish Cultural Center and the staff were nice.

This is a fun hotel and is good in all the conventional ways such as service, cleanliness and location. It also has a definite theme: contemporary art; including works for sale in each room and an attached commercial gallery. The decor is industrial loft chic and they are very consistent about it, both in the common areas and within the room. It's not my favorite decor but it had style and did add to the fun. The FOUNDRE is similar to the Verb Hotel in Boston that has a rock and roll theme and is also consistent with it, although they probably are not affiliated.

Excellent hotel with a beautiful pool, perfect for cooling off in the typical Phoenix heat. Convenient self parking or valet on the weekends. The design is impressive, featuring lots of art throughout the property, including in the rooms. The industrial-style decor adds a unique touch, and everything is clean and well-maintained. Our room was on a high floor with a great view, spacious and quiet. There’s also an ice machine on every floor. Great location—highly recommended!

The only thing that made the stay worthwhile would be the staff and the comfortable beds. The shower water does not get hot. Beware of the $35(hotel fee) a day + $120 incidentals on top of your “total” for your stay. For those prices, there should be hot water. Staff was friendly and accommodating & the food was good.

Service is pretty close there, although friendly. We got room 813. I big king suite. A nice set up, with a masculine, industrial feel. The sofa in the sitting living room area was pretty torn up. I’m surprised it was not replace. Both the breakfast and dinner was very bland. No salt, no spices. We ended up going elsewhere for dinner every night.

I honestly only chose this hotel because it was only a night & i wanted to go to the Japanese Friend Garden & Fear Farm. The art in hallways were my main highlight. I liked the bear picture best in the lobby to the right of the check in desk. The bed was comfy & the shower was easy to figure out, but I paid for concrete floors & be careful with getting out of the shower. It's very slippery even with the provided slippers. My view of the top of the restaurant was great for $262. Glad I got that room. Thanks guys 😒 If you remove the shampoo, conditioner & body wash, they'll charge you $30 which is different than other hotels I've stayed in. Seemed rather stingy. The walls were thin & I'm glad my neighbors a room over had fun. The restaurant below was lackluster, but they have their own reviews. For me personally, I'd never stay here again.

Unfortunately this hotel did not live up to our expectations. The location is great and is close to lots of trendy bars and restaurants (the pizza restaurant Pomo was particularly good, as was Snooze for breakfast). The room was well furnished and the bed comfortable, although the air conditioning was noisy and the coffee machine didn’t work. Water pressure in the shower was awful, barely a trickle. We used the gym a couple of times and while it’s small it had what we needed (although some free weights were missing) - but for more than 2-3 people it would feel cramped. Parking was included in the hotel resort fee, but at $35 per night this felt high for what you got. WiFi was also included but unreliable and connection constantly dropped. We had high hopes for this design-led hotel but were disappointed overall. It felt like style over substance.
