My kids and I went to Tempe to hang out for a few days, go see the canyon, and check out some spring training games. First off, our host, Ben, was great. Very communicative, attentive, and accommodating. Property is newly remodeled, looks great. The place is stocked with games and entertainment. I didn't think much of the Pac-Man game on the wall when booking the place, but it turned out to be a pleasant outlet for me and the kids at night. The location is walking distance to The Cubs (though I was there to cheer on the White Sox!), spring training park and a short drive to the airport. Fair notice: if you're intrigued by the community's amenities, I'll just note that while there is a tennis court and pool, the court is in rough shape and the pool needed a lot of love when we were there. If you're not fussy, it'll do. We use them just fine. That's more of an HOA thing and not representative of the host in any way.
It's close to ASU which has some cool restaurants, nightlife and the Riverwalk. But not so close that you're caught up in all the hustle and bustle of the campus.
I certainly stay here again.
