Thanks to Hurricane Sandy my husband and I found ourselves in Phoenix, Arizona for an indefinite amount of time rather than home after a two week trip in Vancouver. Through the magic of the internet we found Hotel Tempe, an affordable lodging accommodation with great amenities and a zero cancelation fee.
Only a short drive from the airport, Hotel Tempe is close offers a free shuttle service and is within walking distance of several restaurants and the Arizona Mills Mall which includes a movie theater and an aquarium. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful and the rooms spacious and clean. We made good use of the public washer and dryer, the free Wi-Fi, and the free local phone calls. We relaxed in the outdoor hot tub and swimming pool, indulged in the complimentary happy hour, and enjoyed the vast options on the free breakfast buffet.
This place is pretty close to perfect for an inexpensive get away. Should we ever come to Phoenix again we definitely plan on staying here.
