Top Tempe Hotel Reviews

Sonesta ES Suites Tempe

2/10 Terrible

"Parking cost $5 dollars a day which is ridiculous and breakfast wasn’t great and the air conditioning sucked you had to keep it at 72 and it was hot! Not worth it!"

Hyatt Place Tempe / Phoenix / University

8/10 Good

"Everything about the stay was good until our AC stopped working. We did notify the front desk and they sent maintenance up to our room immediately. They could not repair it while we were staying there, so we were moved to a different room in the same hallway. The staff is great. Breakfast was also fresh every morning."

SpringHill Suites Phoenix Airport/Tempe

10/10 Excellent

"The staff here is warm and genuinely kind. They are the highlight of this location. The room was impeccably clean (I've worked in hotels for 15 years so I now see things others might not and didn't see a thing). The only note is it's clear that maintaining the property is not being worked into the budget. It's still fine, but the elevators, hallway carpet and some furniture could use some updating."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing! We arrived earlier than expected and they let us check in early. Dog fee is only $15/night and we traveled with a big 65 pound malamute. Room was spacious, refrigerator worked (almost too well). Breakfast was standard (waffles, eggs, sausage, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, bagels, coffee, juice, etc.). Checkout was a breeze, heated pool, quiet, convenient location. Will return again for future trips to Tempe 😊"

Sonesta Select Tempe Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel didn’t really have a lot to offer as far as amenities. The staff was very brash and not too friendly, especially the one that checked us in. The young lady that checked us out was a lot nicer. Don’t think I would stay at your property again just didn’t feel comfortable."
