| - I was recently in Tempe for a business conference being held at this hotel, so of course to save myself a rental and whatnot, I stayed here at the FRCC. First, like the other reviewers mention, this is a 70's - 80's design, and while my room was somewhat updated, I can see where others have not been.
While spacious for one person, the room felt a little too open with the mirrored closet at the entrance and tile floors reflecting the light around. Not a bad thing mind you, but somewhat odd.
The carpet was not comfortable to bare feet and was a brownish color. The mini fridge was spotty at best, and the AC was a tad noisy at times, but I slept through it ok. Perhaps my biggest complaint was the shower. It took more than 5 minutes for hot water to come out of the shower (the tub heated nicely however). Also, the shower head shot the water in a concentrated stream with a lot of pressure, similar to a pressure washer. Personally, I like my water spread out :) The wifi was also pretty spotty in my room, often times dropping for no apparent reason.
I would probably stay here again if I was in the area for a conference at the center, but if I had a choice to stay elsewhere, I probably would.
Edit: I forgot to mention the service....A+ in that department. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way on several occasions to make sure everything was to my liking. So while the facilities need updating, the staff is perfect as is.
