Disliked: Amenities
The pictures didn’t match the property, I reserved a suite and got a one room with a closet space for a pull out couch. When I told the front desk clerk he became rude and refused to call the manager after I requested to speak with him. They are refusing to give me a refund and I had to book a different hotel. I would not recommend this place to anyone

Clean, cheap, well serviced. At this price point it is a great value. A great motel option if you’re just looking for a simple nice room in the middle of Tempe.

Just what I needed

This property lived up to previous reviews and photos. The rooms are furnished and decorated well. The shower in particular was especially nice. The property is adjacent ASU so there are loads of dining and entertainment options within a short walk. The rooms might be considered small by today’s standards however all I really need out of business accommodations are that they be clean, secure and relatively quiet. The rate was excellent for Tempe even in the middle of July. I would stay at this property again when visiting Tempe.

Clean room, comfortable bed, and solid AC. Can't ask for much more honestly. Close to a 24 hour CVS and lots of food options nearby. Solid stay.
