Q: negative

A: I decided to stop here because the Tempe location is great. Glendale...not so great! The soda was watered down and the wings were so basic. Something I could've heated up from a Tyson bag. Not only that but the 1/2lb or 1lb deal is expensive for what they give. Kinda disappointed that this place sucked because Tempe is better.

Q: positive

A: I come here often. The theaters are almost always clean and the staff is generally friendly.

Q: negative

A: Longing for a juicy (greasy!) burger? Well here it is, in one of the Valley's four new Smashburger locations! Juicy, juicy, juicy! Nice taste. Probably the closest to my favorite ("Steak and Shake" - none in the Valley or west of Texas) I have had. Opted for the 1/2 pound and it is too big. Big question is - worth more than twice the price ($4.99 for 1/3 pound and $5.99 for 1/2 pound) as for "In and Out" double-double and unfortunately the answer is no, I don't think so. Much like Fudruckers, which I would rate ahead of Smashburger for taste, it will be a "once in a while place" for me. The "Haystack Onion Rings" were to die for, but a VERY small order, that without a sandwich are priced at a very pricey $2.99 ($1.99 with a sandwich)! Excellent! Very clean, lots of help and nicely done, but prices are a bit much for fast food Hamburger.

Q: negative

A:
I knew The Quad had sub-par reviews but I didn't think much of it - I only needed a place to shower, sleep, and hold my stuff, right? It's on the strip, so how bad could it be?, my naive self rhetorically asked. The answer? Bad. Very, very bad. We showed up to check-in at 4 in the morning and there was a horrendous line. Check-in took at least thirty minutes. I can only imagine what it would have been like had we showed up at a socially acceptable hour. The elevators may as well not even exist. We waited upwards of 15 minutes for an elevator at times, and sometimes when we got on it would beep and just decide to cease functioning. Everything was just grimey. The hallways, the fixtures, the people. Nothing in the hotel has been replaced for decades. If there are rooms being renovated, I didn't see them. The best part was seeing the visceral reactions on people's faces when we told them where we were staying. Cab drivers visibly cringed when we told them to take us to The Quad.
