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.

Almost Heaven

There were three reasons why I didn't give this property five stars. The staff, the room and the food were great - but the location is a little weird - sterile and not at all welcoming from the outside - I felt like I was in a dystopian novel. And instead of parking at the property, you have to drive a couple of blocks and then walk back and forth to the hotel in the blazing heat - NOT convenient. And lastly, the lighting in the bathroom is so dim that it's not great for us ladies who need to apply makeup. But I can't say enough about the staff and the room - that part was excellent.

Friendly and helpful staff. Love the complimentary coffee ALL DAY! 😊 room was clean. Very nice fitness room! Pool was nice too- nothing fancy- not photo worthy but it’s there. View from rooftop pool is great if you enjoy watching airplanes flyover every 3-5 minutes. lol.

Our stay was okay. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff doesn’t bother you. The rooms are soundproof which is nice not hearing noise from nearby rooms. The issue is the past few times we’ve stayed at an AC Marriott in Arizona the hotel’s restaurant has been closed. Very inconvenient and frustrating.

Really disappointed to be told that the pool was out of use for our stay as a function was happening. Surely the hotel is being paid to hold that function while no notice/discount/upgrade was offered for the lack of amenity. We specifically chose this hotel as we had children that wanted to use the pool. Also my husband asked for a coffee in the lounge/bar area and was met with the response don’t you have it in your room. He replied he did not like it (room coffee was undrinkable!) she begrudgingly said she could do it but no decaf. Lame service and amenities.
