This hotel is directly across the street from A.S.U. It is in a great location for anything on campus or in Downtown Tempe. The hotel has been there for years and has been updated with a nice retro vibe. Parking is easy which is rare for Tempe. The staff was super nice and the restaurant has good basics and a nice coffee bar.

I had a last minute one day stay and was very pleased with how accommodating the staff was with arranging my stay. Front desk staff was pleasant and very knowledgeable of the hotel and surrounding. I would stay again.

This hotel is a good price and across the street from ASU campus. Perfect place to stay when visiting your student. It’s on opposite side of campus from the downtown area so quiet. Has a small pool area and breakfast and dinner options. The shuttle is wonderful to and from airport especially during move in and move out from ASU with all the luggage. It’s about a 15-20 min walk to Mill Ave on other side of campus where you will find unlimited food choices.

The place was okay for the price but the rotten egg smell that first hit your face when you get in and gets all the way to the room is crazy and go with your own wash cloths as they only give you one for three people

Hotel located in a very clean neighborhood and right in front of ASU. The train (tramway) runs directly on the street and is silent. The decoration is oriented on the theme of studies from the end of the 60s to the beginning of the 70s, all of this up to date. The hotel is also oriented towards the recovery and reduction of non-renewable waste. , which is a "plus"

We live in Tempe, and we heard the hotel welcomes the neighborhood to use the pool, bar, and restaurant. My two year old daughter, and I went and the staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly! I was initially concerned that they would not want any kids at the pool, and so I told the staff we would leave if she got too loud. But, they were really sweet, and told me not to worry about it, and gave me a mini tour and towels. We had a great time, and we will certainly be returning soon!

Room smell was terrible and if you are on campus view it smells worse because of units blowing beneath the balconies. Staff not the friendliest but tolerable. Will not stay here again there are plenty other places just as close to campus.

Room was not cleaned during 5 day stay and front desk staff were not effective in helping. Building quite old and not as nice as photos portray. Location very good and the free rental bikes were a nice touch.

Great location near ASU campus and downtown Phoenix. Pleasantly surprised that there was a new street car / Metro service that is right out in front of hotel. Staff was very friendly. Would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for quiet & convenient hotel.
