typically I find hotels to nearly be the same all around the world. However, the Residence Inn Tempe has comfortable rooms with plenty of outlets for electronic devices - and easy to reach and access.
The front desk staff and hotel service is the best experience. Everyone is ultra friendly. There is paid parking connected to the hotel which is connected to your room key. The hotel is adjacent to Mill Avenue with plenty of restaurants within walking distance.
There is a pool, gym and whirlpool on the 11th floor. It has an amazing view and had towels by the pool so your don't have to lug around towels from your room. There is laundry on the 2nd floor with state of the art washers/dryers. My room had a full kitchenette and full size refrigerator. You could not ask for more.
Prices are a bit high compared to other locations, but perhaps worth the cost if you want a nicely kept property and convenience of nearby attractions.
