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.
