My husband and I stayed in this hotel last night as we are passing through town. The staff was friendly. The room looks great and the bed was comfortable. The towels were very fluffy. My only concern is that the bathroom door doesn’t close all the way. Other than that, everything else is great.

Went for a play at ASU Gammage. Was so convenient being able to just walk there and staff is the nicest we've come across in a long time anywhere. Our fur babies were welcomed with treats and theres a nice little grassy area to walk them.
