“This hotel, positioned centrally near ASU, impresses with its creative, inclusive atmosphere and proximity to Tempe's vibrant downtown, easily reached by a free tram; rooms are well-appointed, and the pool is a standout feature. It strikes me as a particularly good choice for those visiting the university or seeking a lively, community-focused stay with convenient access to local attractions. I find the hotel's dog-friendly policy and comfortable bedding noteworthy too.”
