I'm heading to Tucson on business and my flight into PHX was delayed to the point where I didn't want to make the drive to the other side of the state last night. \n\nSo I came over to check out Tempe, and found this little gem of a hotel by accident. All I wanted was something clean and affordable for the night, and I got much more. Staff was genuinely courteous, Fitness Center was much more than I expected, and there's a nice pool. The courtyard in the middle of the property reminds me of (a very toned down version of) the Royal Hawaiian in Waikiki with subtle palms and good accent lighting. \n\nVery clean property. Free WiFi (although the connection speed leaves a little to be desired), Free Valet Parking, and even a complimentary water bottle at the gift shop -- which came in handy because I went for a run outside and it's HOT!\n\nIf you're here on a weekend during the school year, be prepared for Mill Avenue to be pretty rowdy (think: Bourbon Street). But I enjoy the energy it adds to the area. Didn't have a problem with street noise interfering with sleep. But an \"ambient Frat-house din\" was audible from the courtyard at night. \n\nI hope to stay here again. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better value.
