This was my second stay this year at the hotel and I stay in several hotels. This staff was professional, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. Nestled in the Arizona State University and famous Mill Avenue downtown Tempe areas, plenty of restaurants within walking distance and plenty of night life in the immediate area. I had an emergency business shipment and the staff handled the issue as the pros they are! My early check-in was ready and the overall stay was very relaxing. Bring your swimwear as the 11th floor pool and views at sunrise and sunset are breathtaking. The complimentary breakfast was nice too. Couldn't complain about the rooms at all. I highly recommend this hotel!
