Aloft Tempe

Great feel, good décor, fun common spaces, good location, and good price — these are winning attributes in my book, and they are all in play at Aloft Tempe.
What you don’t get; room service, and an on-​site restaurant. Big deal: In-​N-​Out is literally across the street. If you don’t like burgers you can get Starbucks, WingStop, Yogurtland, and Pancheros. Plenty of dining choices. And the hotel lobby has plenty of convenience store style grab-​n-​go options.
Here’s what else you don’t get; a proper Westin Heavenly bed. The bedding is very thin, particularly the duvet. Fortunately for me I had a two bed room and I simply removed the duvet from the second bed and doubled my covering.
For a nice bonus I was able to unlock my door using my iPhone. Score.

I stayed here while in town for the Rock n Roll Arizona race weekend. While Aloft is not a full service property, I found this hotel was well staffed and the team members were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and well maintained. I wish the bedding had a heavier cover (I like the weight). Grab and go area by the lobby is well stocked and has a wide variety of items at a reasonable price.
Location is convenient to a strip mall with several dining options (if you want something quick) and a Starbucks. It’s a short (15 minute or so) walk to ASU and the light rail.
The rooms are all the same, so no upgrade to be had, but we were placed on the highest floor.
Price and location were right for what I needed. I would definitely consider staying here again!

I love Aloft hotels! Came across this chain about a year ago when we stayed in Denver for a run. One of the most affordable hotels on the recommended list of race day hotels. However, we didn’t give up trendiness and comfort to save a some bucks. The hotel is chic, modern, small but with all the basic amenities of a Hilton or Marriott. We were wondering if they had a rewards program because this will definitely be our go to hotel when traveling. Front desk service is friendly and free hotel shuttles to and from the airport are offered. Late check out is 4 pm! A major plus when finishing up a race and wanting not to rush out at 2 pm. Plus, pups are welcomed. IDK the fee for furry friends.
Enjoy!

We stayed at this hotel the night before the Arizona Rock n Roll race. Check in was very smooth. The room was clean and had an interesting, efficient use of space in the layout. Although they do not provide breakfast, there was a 24-​hour snack area that served hot breakfast items for purchase each morning. We took advantage of the snack bar late in the evening and found the prices to be very reasonable and the food fresh. The items we purchased were billed to our room, but we could have paid separately as well. Checkout was easy. Employees were all friendly and helpful. My only complaint about the experience was the lighting in the room. There were several small lights but nothing overhead/​central. This made the room a tad dark for us. Otherwise this was an excellent experience and I would consider staying here again.

Stayed here for a night when attending a show nearby. The décor and overall vibe was extremely hip, and the bathroom situation was a bit crazy in a good way. Definitely a breath of fresh air compared to your standard hotel.

Stopped here for a night on my cross country trip. I absolutely love any Aloft that I stay at. This one in particular was inexpensive through my Hotel Tonight app! I would definitely recommend!

Business travelers beware. Don’t stay here if you need a consistent wifi internet connection. Staff keeps you in the dark about issues. Wifi was not working for most of my four night stay.

Their credit server was down, checking in took an extra half hour. The WiFi was down as well. The carpet is sticky and crunchy, it made me want to put my shoes back on. It makes you think «what happened in this room? !» Is it puke? Alcohol? Why is it randomly crunchy in this spot?

Great hotel!
Pros
— Incredibly friendly, sweet, helpful staff — they welcomed us with huge smiles and were truly excited to see our dog
— Speaking of which — very dog-​friendly. The staff even offered to bring us some dog bowls in case we forgot.
— Clean, cozy, nice-​looking, new-​looking room with great layout.
— Good shower and bathroom
Cons
— Didn’t love the bed — was just kinda hard, not super comfy. Sheets felt stiff.
Overall, a really great value for the price! Would definitely stay there again.

The hotel is not what I expected. I called twice to make sure it was was going to be perfect for my boyfriend’s birthday. He arrived before me and they wouldn’t let him check in. I had to talk the girl into letting him get the room. The carpet was destroyed. The room had patches with mismatched paint. The morning we got breakfast they had a salt shaker with no salt. When I asked for more they said «sorry we are out». Everything was kind of a hot mess.

Loooooove this hotel. It’s like having your own little loft of amazingness. As usual, my boyfriend thinks ahead. Why should his girlfriend have to travel from California and not have a nice place to stay by the Diamondback Ballpark? Good question! Because I shall not. I was lucky enough to be picked up in the evening from the airport after a long day of work to be taken to this amazing hotel before heading to the A’s vs Diamondbacks game. We had such a great night (I mean, how can you not?) staying at this location. We will be back soon!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This was the best Hotel I have ever stayed at. Very reasonably priced had all the amenities a very courteous staff. They had a huge big screen a very very comfortable bed a cool shower with pumps for soap and shampoo, not to mention the coolest name for a hotel. They have a refrigerator and a microwave places to hang things up I’d ask anything and everything to make your stay as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible. 2 thumbs up and then some

Modern look and feel. Lots of nice little touches. Friendly and hip staff. Carpet is s bit lumpy in places and probably needs to be smoothed out or replaced (both in the room and hallway).

We were first time staying at aloft from CA. Didn’t expect that much because the price was pretty affordable, but this hotel was more than I expected.
The hotel was clean and it’s in great location, All staffs were very friendly. Every time we come in, they welcomed with smiles. And they were so helpful when we asked what’s good around this area. I would love to come back when we have a chance.

I have stayed in this hotel in the past and it was really nice. There must have been a change in ownership or management or possibly both. Being in property management I am very particular with curb appeal, cleanliness and overall customer service. This hotel is filthy! The pool furniture looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in months, cobwebs all over he doors and lights on the exterior and the room we checked into was dirty as well. The signs are old and faded and the place is very run down. No wonder the rooms were so cheap. I’m surprised this is a Starwood hotel. I will not stay here again and wouldn’t recommend it. You are better off going to the Hilton Garden Inn.

Friendly staff every day, every time. Enjoyed our stay overall with swanky cool décor and loved that if you don’t ask for housekeeping (made your bed yourselves), you get a $ 5 voucher each day towards food in the lobby or SPG points. Very cool!
My only picks at this were the beds were a bit on the crummy & old side. We felt the dip and the light box. Wasn’t very firm at all. And the pool kinda sucked. Why have the pool right under some trees so that it can release all the junk into the water? The cleanliness wasn’t up to par which was a bit disappointing and gross. And it would get packed at like 9am! With only a few pool chairs, it was impossible to even get a spot.
Other than that – all was good! Unsure if we’d return but for the time we were there, it was overall good to us.

Excellent place, as expected of any starwood partners. Also, if you plan on staying at a motel in Tempe… dont do it. I tried for my first business trip, and truly regreted it.
My only nit picky is that the hallway door isnt full sound proof. If other guests or workers are close/​loud enough, then you can hear their conversation. However, in their defense it was a Saturday night and within accepted hours.
Hotel bar is of lower expectations when it comes to beer and mixed drinks. Be sure, to tell them how much stout you want, also they have limited alcohol brands. The wine is awesome though.
The rates are cheaper compared to their partners, because there are no conceirge or booking staff. Everything has to be booked online. Customer service is not the best compared to the other partners, but is an excellent place to come in for a rest.
Tip: If you are part of AAA or any automobile association be sure to sign up as such for a better rates.

Friendly staff and check in was a breeze. Everything in the room was on point and couldn’t have asked for anything more. If you get a chance to stay at this hotel I would recommend it.
P.S.
The hotel has an awesome smell all over the place!

The Tempe location is a great central location for clubs:) I had great service, and the room was very modern and comfortable.
There is also a Starbucks and some places to get something to eat right across the street.
The bar also was pretty nice in the downstairs area, I was able to get a drink while waiting for my cab. The bartender was very helpful at recommending places to see.

Solid little hotel in north Tempe. They don’t have suites or anything but still quite modern and comfortable. Location is pretty good and there are a few walkable food options. Generally quiet and in line with what you expect from SPG.
I used the laundry service and it was a bit slow. Other than that not much to complain about.
