Went for a play at ASU Gammage. Was so convenient being able to just walk there and staff is the nicest we've come across in a long time anywhere. Our fur babies were welcomed with treats and theres a nice little grassy area to walk them.

Checking in and getting to know the area was seamless. Staff were willing to share info about Tempe and things to do in the area. Rooms were clean and up to spec with no complaints. Workout room having a peloton was a major bonus! The bar was cool, though I wished it stayed open one more hour in the evening. Walking distance to CVS and mill ave as well as other restaurants in the area.

Bathroom filthy. Noisy and uncomfortable beds. Paid for breakfast only to find it was pastries and coffee. They refused to refund the money I paid for breakfast even though we did not eat there.
