I wish there was a 3.5 star option. I was also pleasantly surprised by the overall experience here. It is an older, semi-historic hotel; with that comes a slightly worn building compared to newer or "chain" hotels. Beyond that, though, this place is super clean, unique in some of the design attributes and the food and service are quite good. All in all, a great value and very conveniently located to the airport and the ASU campus. Oh, there is a shuttle bus to and from the airport and the main eating/shopping areas in close proximity adding to the value factor.
