Hyatt Place Tempe / Phoenix / University

"The hotel is very clean with wide open seating in the first floor lounge, along with a lovely rooftop where we took some commencement photos. Room wise - we stayed in a double queen room and were quite comfortable. Rooms included an ironing set, empty mini fridge, and lots of plugs around the wall to charge your devices. Each person also had their own individual reading light which is an excellent touch. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom was modern and clean. Only minor gripes with the room would be that the AC fan wasn't working well so it felt quite warm inside, and the shower drain is a metal bar which would make a lot of noise when water from the shower head hits it. Complimentary breakfast is served daily from 6:00 - 9:00 and it was awesome. My family enjoyed all the offerings while I was happy with oatmeal (and toppings such as bananas, granola, and coconut shavings) and the occasional potatoes that would be thrown in. Each day had fresh fruit as well. If they offered non-dairy milk and spread options, I think it would seal the deal. They also have a 24-hour fitness center upstairs that has a few cardio machines, a rower, dumbbells, kettlebells, and yoga mats. It was enough for me to do some WODs I'd normally do back home and the water dispenser was necessary given we're staying a desert."

"Room and location are good. Service at hotel is not starting with the front desk at check in. No information shared about the room, hotel amenities, breakfast etc. Tom at the front desk has an incredibly poor attitude. Very put off by any questions, no “how may I help you”, no “you are welcome” when thanked. Very put off by having to answer questions. Hotel may need to do some staff training on customer service based on similar reviews posted"

"Very nice hotel. It's on ASU campus so it's perfect if you have business there. It's close to bars and restaurants. The outdoor bar on the roof is neat and offers a nice view of the campus. It's close to the streetcar stop, so easy access to other places if you don't have a car. My room was clean and comfortable. I'd definitely stay here again."

"If you're going to the Phoenix zoo and you need place to stay, this is the place to stay. You literally get out of the parking lot. Take a right and follow the road down to the Papago parkway and you're at the zoo. The hotel is very clean and very modern and I don't know how long it's been in business but it seems brand new. The rooms were immaculate. They were simple and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was amazing. They have basically a buffet with about everything you would ever want to eat for breakfast. The major issue the place has is the parking. When you check in or out. You basically have about two cars length worth of area to pull in to check in and check out. You are right behind the college and if there is a game going on in the coliseum next door it is virtually impossible to get in. You share parking with the college so you have to have a key card to get in and out of the parking garage. This produces a little bit of a problem if you turn in both your key cards when you leave. So do not turn in both of your key cards when you check out or you'll get stuck in the garage and you cannot leave. I don't know if this isn't oversight on their part, but it seems weird that you can't leave without a key card. Also, if you are planning on wanting a quiet room then stay on the front side. Because you will hear the light rail all night long and in the morning also. It's not too loud, but if you are a light sleeper or if you're expecting silence, you're not going to get it if you are on the back side with a room facing that direction. Overall, if you want a no frills quick and easy place to stay if you're going to the zoo or attending a football game at the college, this is a wonderful place to stay. Other than the parking and the light rail, I would definitely recommend staying here."

"Very new and clean hotel perfectly located within walking distance to restaurants, ASU activities and the airport. Breakfast was included and the 8th floor rooftop bar with pool was an incredible sanctuary away from the busy day. It had great views of Sun Devil stadium and the mountains in the horizon."
