Across from ASU Gammage theater, which was so convenient for seeing a show and then getting up early to get to the airport. Front desk staff were the fastest ever at checking me in. Parking was additional, and I wish I could have just added it to my bill. Room was clean and I appreciated the neighborhood view vs the busy road.

Pretty cool spot. Great location. Nice staff. Clean spacious rooms. A bit pricey but not really if you consider the quality and the market prices for much lower quality hotels, this one is a step up in price but 3 steps up in quality. Nice pool area.
