University Inn ASU/Tempe

Budget-friendly, nicely updated, super clean and well-kept, and the nicest staff ever. Location is smack dab in the center of Tempe so all those great restaurants, shops and bars on Mill are a stone's throw. Free parking in the little lot is very convenient. And if you're planning to be on the ASU campus, this is a fabulous place to stay. Oh, and there's a coffee maker and tiny adorable retro fridge. And plenty of outlets for devices.

I loved the king-sized beds, they had great blankets. The AC/fan that was in the room worked so well. The shower was decently sized, and although it did not have a door the shower head made up for it (the water ran pretty well and so did the water pressure). I was surprised by how well the room was kept. Two things went wrong for me, but it turned out to be fine. First, the door to my room had a glitched-out alarm system which was fixable just by repeatedly shutting the door after scanning it with the card that was given. Second, I did not get a filter for the coffee machine, I could have just asked but I just bought some stuff from Circle K that was close by. The location was nice, there are many things nearby. It wasn't walking distance from most attractions, but I would still recommend traveling everywhere via Uber or rental car if you're just traveling for business or vacation. Doordash is also always a great source of food ordering online, I used it for quick and easy things for the room, there are also groceries you can get on there too. I would suggest staying there for a short period of time, maybe 1-4 days because there are much more things to do near, Tempe Marketplace or Glendale.

Friendly staff and location was great for the event we were attending at the Tempe Beach Park. The bed was large and very comfortable. The room was very clean and spacious. The A/C worked very well.

The only drawback is it's located on a really busy part of town. But we loved the location. We were able to walk to great places. The room was awesome.

The Front Desk staff were super friendly and provided great recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. We were in town for Ironman Arizona and the location was perfect as it was a short walk from everything we needed (restaurants, bars, Whole Foods, movie theater, and Athlete Village at Tempe Town Lake). The parking was convenient and safe, and the mini fridge in the room was great to have for storing leftovers and snacks.
