Nice hotel but make sure you know that you are getting DOUBLE beds, not queens like EVERY other hotel. I know I should have read all details but made an assumption. I’ve never seen double beds at hotels before. Also, the trash dumpsters outside the hotel get emptied at 5am on a Sunday and there is roughly 20 of them, I think. It sounds like someone is throwing rocks at your window for 30 minutes straight.

Great stay but…

Great and comfy room. Only downside was the noise from the street, college kids (I’m assuming) revving the cars and speeding at all hours of the night. I will stay again but will definitely ask for a room away the street.

Great Hotel!!!

Did a short staycation with my friends and we loved the hotel!!! It was quiet and not too busy. Rooftop pool had a great vibe and the view was beautiful. The only thing I didn’t like was our hotel room view was great there was just a giant dumpster that took away from the view a little bit. Overall had a great time and definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Tempe.
