My first stay at the Aloft Tempe. Overall I'm pretty satisfied.
The Pros:
Modern style
Clean and comfortable beds
Nice TV (With Showtime)
Nice views of Tempe from the room
Pool
Fitness Room
Pool Table in the lobby
Bar open til midnight in the lobby
Conveniently located across from Starbucks/In & Out and only a small distance away from Mill Ave.
Cons:
No complimentary breakfast. (Seriously?)
Ultimately this is an excellent hotel in my opinion. I love the modern look and feel. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming. The only thing I can really knock it for is lack of complimentary breakfast. Usually I wouldn't care but when it gets hot I wake up early and crave something to eat. Considering I just stayed at a Hampton Suite for the same price that offered an outstanding complimentary breakfast, I feel that is detrimental when comparing yourself to your competition. Luckily it is across from a Starbucks and fairly close to Mill Ave in which you can find yourself a bite to eat.
I will more than likely stay here again, but I can see how with most hotels offering some sort of complimentary breakfast option, this could be a deal breaker for some people and more specifically small families.
