The Day's Inn in Tempe is a very mediocre motel at a very high price. The motel has seen better days and is worn around the edges. The porcelain in the bathroom is chipped and there was mildew around the rim of the tub. The wireless internet did not work in our first room and in a second room we were given it was very weak. We found the front desk clerk surly and very unhelpful. If this was a $50.00 a night hotel it might be ok but at over $100.00 a night we expect friendly staff, clean well maintained rooms and working internet. I have always found Day's Inns to be iffy and the Tempe Day's Inn only reinforces that feeling.

I've stayed at this hotel a few times for convenient location and wireless internet connection. The rooms have a mini-fridge and are comfortable although they can be noisy. Bathrooms are tiny. Some of the rooms have been neglected for lack of repairs, such as loose toilet seats, sticky doors, and broken towel racks/fixtures.
Washer and dryer are outside next to the pool and parking lot.
No resturant on premises. Continental breakfast in lobby.

Recently, on January 1 2008, they raised their rates about 60% (temporary)which really annoyed me, so I won't be staying here anymore.
I tried to book a room for the 6th of January and my normal rate of $60 was jacked up to almost $100 - Not a considerate action to regular clients.
Currently, you're going to pay $85 with tax, not a good value, imo.

Stayed here for three nights in October for a conference. The conference hotels were fully booked and dear. Found the Days inn using Google earth.

They have shuttle service that promptly picked me up from the airport.

Checking in was seamless, room was clean, breakfast service above expectation.

There is free wireless as well. Location is good, two blocks from campus. The only bummer was the swimming pool, which was closed for maintenance.

In short, a good place to stay if you need essential services and if you are planning to go out during the day => applies to most of us.

The Days Inn in Tempe is a reasonable hotel at a good price.

The neighbourhood is fine. As some other reviews have stated, there is a lot of construction work going on outside the property, but this is not the fault of the hotel, and did not hinder our stay in any way.

The location is a little way from the lively Mill Avenue. We paid under $10 in a cab to get to Mill.

The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.

The room was comfortable and clean.

Breakfast was the usual continental mix of cereal, pastries and bagels, coffee and juice. This is served in the lobby. The lobby has complimentary coffee available at all times. The hotel also provides complimentary copies of USA Today.

For those without a laptop, there is complimentary internet terminal in the lobby. Usage is limited to 15 mins per person if there is someone waiting.
