| - Hotel Tempe/Phoenix was our home away from home during a week long stay for our vacation.
The hotel itself is conveniently located next to I-10 and the 60. There's also a Circle K next door, like every other block in Tempe/Phoenix. I can't forget to mention that you'll be able to find something to eat along Baseline as well; plenty of quick options if the occasion calls for it.
As for the hotel itself, here's the good stuff:
-Free hot breakfast daily from 6:30-10. Waffles, eggs, cereal, toast, coffee, juice, fruit, etc. This was awesome and saved us a few bucks.
-Moderately sized pool and hot tub. These were constantly in use, so lots of people milling about.
-Nice, clean rooms with uber comfy beds.
-Mini-fridge and microwave.
-Free happy hour (Miller Lite or Killian's) each night. Can't beat a few free glasses of beer!
-Free WiFi.
-Awesome proximity to freeways, as mentioned above.
-Easy on the budget.
And the not so awesome stuff:
-If you have a room facing the pool/breakfast area, count on it being loud outside of your door until the pool closes around 11PM and then when people start moving about in the morning to grab breakfast.
-The walkways outside of the rooms are tiled, so anytime luggage is rolled across it, it sounds like a freight train is moving by. This really sucks at 5AM.
-Can be tough to find a parking spot late at night if the hotel is full.
Overall, I really enjoyed this hotel and would probably stay here again. I'd give the hotel itself 3 stars, but the amenities bump it up to a 4 star place for me. Thanks for the relatively comfy stay, Hotel Tempe/Phoenix!
