"Good"

Drury Plaza Hotel Phoenix Tempe

10/10 Excellent

"I continue to choose Drury Inn & Suites for the comfortable rooms, great breakfast (free), the 5:30 p.m. Kickback (free meals and drinks) and the great service. The location for this stay, is perfect. Right off the freeway and plenty of parking. Places to eat are in walking distance or they also have a great menu, if dining in. Handicap and wheelchair accessible with grab bars in bathrooms and ramps in parking lot. I highly recommend Drury Inn & Suites."
