Top Phoenix Zoo Hotel Reviews

Tempe Oasis

8/10 Good

"Found ourselves in a tight spot and had to stay here for over 2 months, the staff here is amazing, Elle, Angie, and Garrett, and security guy” were always friendly, and would go above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable."

SpringHill Suites Phoenix Airport/Tempe

8/10 Good

"I really like the Springhill suite hotels because of the additional sleeping accommodations. The are fairly comfortable and very clean. There is a good size couch with a trundle bed, which makes it ideal for families. The room is pretty good size as well. The continental breakfast is very good and has a nice selection of food. One of the only downsides to this particular hotel is it’s not in the best part of the Phoenix metropolitan area but they do have a security officer on site. The last thing I will say is, I’ve always had a good experience with the staff. I find them very helpful and pleasant."

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"

Hyatt Place Tempe Phoenix Airport

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best breakfast buffets. Relatively healthy choices, fresh, well maintained and set up earlier than announced so that I was able to get a bite at 5 am. Appreciated the no-charge parking and airport shuttle service. Will stay here again anytime if they give me a quieter room on the other side of the building. Ear plugs provided did not help with Saturday night traffic."

City Express by Marriott Tempe

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great. Breakfast was ok but good."

The Westin Tempe

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful check in. Room was available early which made the whole stay so much more enjoyable. Great rooftop pool. SkySill was great for cocktails and had a view of A Mountain."

Hampton Inn Phoenix-Airport North

10/10 Excellent

"What made this stay incredible, was the woman that was working the front desk. Was in town to clean out a house we are trying to sell, and we walked in around 8pm, sweaty, dressed like the homeless…and she amazingly polite, answers all my question and just had a great attitude. If anyone at the property reads these, this woman should be promoted."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Phoenix - Tempe by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff and brwakfast!"
