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.
