Top Downtown Tempe Hotel Reviews

SureStay By Best Western Phoenix Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was VERY clean from lobby, parking lot, pool, room and break area and the staff was excellent - very friendly and helpful! I was leery at first but I would stay at this hotel any time! Pleasant surprise and I recommend it."

Legacy Golf Resort

8/10 Good

"We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly, and our room was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The bed and pillows were particularly cozy. However, we encountered an issue with the water heater, which resulted in lukewarm water. Maintenance came to fix the problem the next day, but unfortunately, we still didn’t have hot water. This was disappointing because I personally enjoy being boiled alive in the shower. Additionally, there was ongoing construction in the parking lots, which meant that if you stayed out late, you wouldn’t be able to find parking in front of your building and would have to walk a bit. Despite these minor inconveniences, the overall experience was positive, and I would definitely stay there again."
