Staff were great pre check in and check out. Late check in not so welcoming. As a woman on her own with a teenager I wasn’t feeling too good about walking a few minutes away in a desolate area, to park my car in a quiet and dark multi story car park. A valet service for checking in this late and parking would be nice. I felt unsafe walking back to the hotel alone.

It was very nice and clean. My room was near the road, and we can hear the noise of the cars. Also, I think the breakfast was expensive with not many options.

The proximity to so much to do in Tempe made this stay so nice and convenient. It’s on the metro line, walkable to the Tempe lake and park with so much to do. The staff was courteous and the hotel is so efficient and welcoming. The best bed I’ve ever slept on at a hotel. Had a great time for our short stay!

Parking Issues
Good stay. But parking disaster. Parking is down the street in public parking garage. Was given good directions how to park. Problem was construction changes. As the way back to hotel from elevator was blocked. We could not find a way to walk back, so drove back to hotel and parked in check-in parking. No staff was available at desk or anyplace around to inform of parking issue Being late we went to bed. In the morning I had a large warning sticker GLUED to my driver's side window. Making it unsafe to drive. Had to go to hardware store to purchase razor blades and glue remover. The staff did not inform me of the return from garage issue and no one was around to inform of my problem. A large GLUED on warning sticker was not warranted.

OK, the guy who works the front desk with the huge Afro is awesome, he deserves a raise. Other than that the property is ok at best. Planes started flying over at 6am and they were LOUD. Then jumped in the shower and it was dirty. Plenty of other options in the area around the same price, I'm not coming back
