Top South Tempe Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Phoenix Airport North

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect."

Talking Stick Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Wanted to use the pool but there was so much goose poop in the water it was gross. The showers for the pool were not close to hotel for ease of access. Suggest that they put a net over the pool (like they do in Florida) to keep the birds out. It would also help if there was a door closer to the Uber lift area instead of walking from the hotel to the main door and then to the Uber area. Could eliminate 1000 yards of walking by doing this. But overall my group had a very good time there and would stay again."

Hotel Valley Ho

8/10 Good

"Rooms are immaculate, beautiful, cool vibe. I don’t like how EVERYTHING is an additional fee. There is no mini fridge in the room, just a beverage fridge to hold their mini bar items. It says you can request a mini fridge - but they charge you $25. To use the fire pits it’s $100. For $650/night not during prime season, these items shouldn’t be extra. Also, the dj on the weekends is very loud- trying to be a Vegas pool party. Easy walk to old town shopping, bars and restaurants. If I’m spending that much a night I really don’t want to be nickel and dimed. "
