Top Downtown Tempe Hotel Reviews

Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort

8/10 Good

"Great place to crash! Pool is good. Staff are very nice."

Radisson Hotel Phoenix Airport

8/10 Good

"Well the location was convenient and the lobby was attractive and functional. The staff were very accommodating. My first king room was clean, functional the bathroom tub was a little rusted and there were no handholds in the tub. Front desk was attentive, respectful and responsive. Housekeeping was wonderful and maintenance responded to a toilet overflow and a high temperature in the cooler. My second room was an accessable queen, the floors had hard water buildup, smelled of mold and the bed was terrible. I needed the queen due to an unforseen emergency. Grateful to have it through Expedia. It was extremely expensive"

Arizona Grand Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Stayed 6 nights with just me and my 6 year old daughter. Biggest complaint is that we never received full housekeeping services. On day 3, requested housekeeping but they just made the bed and didn’t provide new towels or cleaning or anything like that. No microwave was very problematic for us. Used the text line to hopefully get assistance in securing horseback riding for the next day but was just given a number to call and told that they couldn’t make outside reservations for us. Expensive as to be expected. Very unpleasant and random sewage smells throughout property and waterpark. TV guide didn’t match what was actually playing and very few channels available so that was slightly frustrating. The positive…easy parking and decent room across from waterpark. Resort pools were basically empty which was nice. Staff were nice. Waterpark was smaller than I anticipated but fun. Overall, enjoyable stay but disappointed in housekeeping, smells, and concierge services. I would stay again, but maybe just 1-2 days for the waterpark and find a nicer place for the rest of the trip!"
