The check went fine for the most part. There was a problem with the door alarm on 2 different rooms but third room was a charm! The rooms are clean and updated! Bed was comfortable! I would be aware that if you need to go to bed early (if you have to be up at 4 to catch a flight) it is on the train route and so it blows the horn at the corner every time it goes by. But I think it stops running at 10. Unfortunately if anyone is talking outside at 1am you will hear them loud and clear. But it was very convenient and comfortable for a quick stay. I would stay again!!

Really liked this place. At first we were not sure what to expect but it was rated 9 and it deserve it. It was cheaper than several hotels in similar range we used in last several day, yet it was the best of all. Rooms are spacious, great King size bed, meticulously clean, all tastefully renovated and interesting, very safe, great welcoming and accommodating staff. Unreservedly recommend it

Confenient, with stylish decor, near ASU campus
Great location, right off ASU campus, near theater and museum. Easy check in, nicely renovated motel-style room, very nice bathroom with walk-in rain shower, good bed. After I noted I would've liked a microwave for the duration of my conference stay, management had one delivered to my room. Much appreciated! Walking distance from Whole Foods, drug store and restaurants.

We stayed here after a Dr appointment in Phoenix and we were pleasantly surprised. It was VERY Clean, very cozy, newly remodeled and the beds were comfortable. The shower sparkly clean, the tile floor didn't have a speck of dirt on it and the air conditioner was crisp as it should be. All in all 5 stars well deserved! We will be back, because this place shows that the owner is taking pride.
