The property has unique decorations, bright with lively and bright colors. They have a "no bother" policy which means they will only come and knock or clean, if you ask them to. Otherwise, you have the place to yourself with no annoying knocks from the office or maids. The only downside is the office makes ALL visitors require ID at the front office upon check-in, so have it on hand. Photo ID must be within expiration. One of the greatest perks is that everything you need is within walking distance. There are an abundance stores, banks, food, entertainment, and accessible transit choices- the light rail, street car (located at the nearest corner), buses and rental e-scooters. And, if you want to see anyone or tour ASU, its very close to campus and on-campus housing. The general close proximity to west campus and Mill Ave- the area's food, entertainment, and nightlife hub- is great. It is one of the best spots you can stay at to tour campus, enjoy a musical, shop downtown Tempe, go out for a night of bar-hopping, or even rent a boat on the lake- while still having a quiet place to sleep at night. And a very welcome surprise is their late check out policy, which allows you to extend your check out as long as you want/need, at only $10/hr... which is great for mid-day flights or late sleepers.

I had one of the worst hotel experiences at University Inn Tempe. In the middle of the night, staff forced us to leave even though we had done absolutely nothing wrong. The repeated false alarms in the building created a stressful environment, and instead of addressing the faulty system, the staff treated us like we were the problem. To make things worse, they threatened us and showed no professionalism or courtesy. I felt completely disrespected and unsafe. No guest should ever be treated this way. I strongly do not recommend staying here—there are plenty of other places in Tempe where you’ll be treated fairly and actually get the rest and comfort you’re paying for.
