Great stay but…

Great and comfy room. Only downside was the noise from the street, college kids (I’m assuming) revving the cars and speeding at all hours of the night. I will stay again but will definitely ask for a room away the street.

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.
