Top South Tempe Hotel Reviews

Arizona Grand Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We celebrated our kids birthdays here during our stay and it was an absolute blast! We reserved a cabana for Saturday to enjoy a day at the water park with family and will be doing that again! Can’t wait to return next summer!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Phoenix Tempe

8/10 Good

"For the most part the room was clean, but there were stains on the carpet throughout the front room and bedroom. The staff was very kind, professional and friendly. I had an issue with the AC, and it was taken care of right away. I didn't get a chance to attend the evening reception for a drink but will next time. The breakfast bar was very good, with a variety of warm food. They even made your eggs the way you wanted, scrambled and/or otherwise, as well as omelets."
