The room was spotless. The staff were nice and parking was free. The room looked like the one at The Westin but AC Marriot seemed to have more space. I would definitely stay here again..

The lighting was very dim without the ability to turn it up. I could barely see enough to put on makeup or do my hair which was an anomaly given how many hotels I’ve stayed in. The breakfast buffet is too expensive for what you get. Otherwise a nice property.

Great Hotel!!!

Did a short staycation with my friends and we loved the hotel!!! It was quiet and not too busy. Rooftop pool had a great vibe and the view was beautiful. The only thing I didn’t like was our hotel room view was great there was just a giant dumpster that took away from the view a little bit. Overall had a great time and definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Tempe.

What made this hotel night a slight nightmare was something that may not have been 100% controllable the first time. The second and third time the fire alarm went off(unnecessarily) was absolutely not ok. Around 12 am in the hallways. Then 2 more times IN room. It was horribly loud ear piercing jolting you awake. We left at 7 am. Upon check out no Manager was on duty and no compensation was offered. But honestly im not sure what could have made us feel better.
