The beds and pillows were Top Notch which is huge for us while traveling. The vibe was great. The girls in the restaurant were super attentive and sweet. The $6 happy hour tacos are phenomenal and my latte in the morning was delish! We thought there was an airport shuttle so that was the only downside but we would definitely stay again. Shout out to Jordan who checked us in - she was super informative.

Across from ASU Gammage theater, which was so convenient for seeing a show and then getting up early to get to the airport. Front desk staff were the fastest ever at checking me in. Parking was additional, and I wish I could have just added it to my bill. Room was clean and I appreciated the neighborhood view vs the busy road.
