I booked my family's stay here for a graduation at ASU, expecting it to be comparable to other Graduate locations I've stayed at, and that was unfortunately not the case. I wish I had chosen another option that would have cost less but was happy to pay a higher price in hopes it would align with my previous experiences. While the staff and service were all friendly and great, the property leaves much to be desired. It seems that the former building was dressed up, with some nice furnishings and the like but still retains some features and a lack of detail that doesn't match what I've come to expect from Graduate hotels. The walls and elevator seem beaten up and painted over, but not enough to cancel their age or wear. They kept the former light as air dooes that feel flimsy when you open and close them. The seams on the wallpaper in the restroom are evident and visible and in some cases even cracked. The AC unit in the room worked but could never seem to get the room to an ideal cool temperature. The on site bar area service was good but again appeared worn down. If you're looking to for a more boutique like hotel experience near ASU I'd look elsewhere until more improvements are made.

Checking in and getting to know the area was seamless. Staff were willing to share info about Tempe and things to do in the area. Rooms were clean and up to spec with no complaints. Workout room having a peloton was a major bonus! The bar was cool, though I wished it stayed open one more hour in the evening. Walking distance to CVS and mill ave as well as other restaurants in the area.

So many things wrong with this property, it’s so weird. You can obviously tell they are trying to be quirky, but there are so many ridiculous things about this location. 1. Parking is not included and is expensive. 2. Parking is not convenient to the main entrance. 3. The restaurant/bar has awful operation hours. 4. “No more hot breakfast for 3-4 months” is what we were told??? It’s graduation weekend. 5. Bar to pool gates are always locked… um, why would a place trying to make money not encourage you to be able to eat and drink out by the pool? 6. Hallways are not air conditioned, which is so weird. 7. Pool is FREEZING cold. How do they even do that in Tempe? 8. Shower head is on opposite side of shower from the shower controls- seriously! 9. Balcony/patio only have 1 chair- LOL!! 10. Bar staff needs serious customer service training.
