“I found the AC Hotel's lean, modern aesthetic appealing, and its location convenient for accessing both ASU and downtown Tempe. I especially appreciate the rooftop pool; city views are always a plus in my book. For a streamlined business trip with some local exploration thrown in, this could be a solid choice.”
