The location is fantastically convenient in the town of Tempe. For us it was really convenient to family in the local area. There are many options for food bars, or other entertainment during the day locally.
We were there before Christmas, which was unique with all of ASU gone for the holidays.
My only gripe is the cost of parking at the hotel, which I think was overly expensive.
Otherwise, the hotel stay was great lots of amenities, a great workout facility,, bars, and restaurant in the hotel. I would definitely stay here again.
