Great little Inn. Room was stylish and fresh. Great shower with rain head (nice since I didn’t have to do the usual hotel shower back-bend as I am quite tall). Comfy bed. Great location handy to all the restaurants and bars along Mill St.

This place is a gem. It's a perfect location. The rooms are remodeled and modern, very clean. The staff is excellent. They stayed late for us to check-in. They stored our bags for us so we could enjoy Tempe for the day. I would highly recommend!
