| - My husband and I travel to Phoenix for the holidays, and this hotel is where we intend to stay from now on. The rooms are fabulous, the hotel's location is perfect, and the price is exceedingly reasonable ($568 for four nights, including taxes and parking).
Initially, I hesitated to book here because of my assumptions about the parking. A few reviewers mentioned that parking is a pain, and being familiar with the area from previous visits, I knew that the street parking is limited and metered along Mill St and that there would not be a big parking lot next to the hotel. Being able to come and go easily via car is important to us, so I called the hotel before booking to make sure I understood how parking works. Parking is $14 a day in a large parking garage next to the hotel. Upon check in, you receive a card that allows you to go in and out of the parking garage as many times as you want during your stay. Hotel guests park on the first floor of the garage, and there is plenty of space. Our rental car was a huge truck, and we had no problem finding room. There is also a small parking lot directly in front of the hotel with spaces for approximately 10 cars, which is very convenient. At check in, the staff encourage guests to not park in that lot overnight. We had no problems whatsoever with parking, which was a huge relief to me.
In my opinion, the best part of this hotel is the rooftop pool. It is heated and saltwater and beautifully lit up at night. When we visited, the outdoor temperature at night was about 60 degrees F, and almost every night my husband and I took a nighttime swim around 10 pm. There is nothing like a good swim to rejuvenate oneself after hanging out with my snowbird parents and other visiting family!
The hotel rooms are sleek, modern, and clean. The bed was comfy, the sheets were silky smooth, and there were a ton of pillows. The rooms have refrigerators, and the cleaning service put two complementary wattle bottles and two chilled glasses in the fridge every day. The TVs have Netflix built in, and we were also able to use our own HDMI cord to connect a tablet to the TV to stream shows from Amazon prime.
The location of the hotel can't be beat: walking distance to everything fun on Mill St, walking distance to the path up "A" Mountain, and with easy access to the 202 on-ramp to get around greater Phoenix. There are bikes to rent from one of the local bike share programs right across E Rio Salado Pkwy, and there is a wide path for walking, running, and cycling next to the hotel that goes along the Salt River.
We've stayed at hotels in Old Town Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, but this hotel in Tempe is our favorite by far!
