3 reviews for Best Western Inn of Tempe
Sure, they offer clean rooms, friendly service, free wireless, and a free airport shuttle. But there's more to it.
My girlfriend and I were disappointed to be stuck here to begin with, since our flight was canceled out of Sky Harbor airport. As we got off the shuttle bus, our driver casually mentioned that if we needed a ride anywhere, she'd be happy to oblige. As we checked in to the hotel, she casually made the offer again.
So I went up to my room and used our wireless service to learn that we were 1.7 miles away from the Four Peaks Brewpub, in the opposite direction from the airport. We went back outside and asked her to drive us to the bar. She did, making a point of giving us her card in case we wanted a ride back afterward.
I don't know if they'd give rides to local bars for all their patrons, but they surely deserve credit if they go the extra mile (literally) on a rare occasion.
It was ok once everything was resolved but I wish the staff were more professional and attentive. The hotel has such an odd layout (that pool is strange) so I only used this place to sleep/shower. The place should be redecorated and refurbished ASAP. Until that happens, I will be staying elsewhere.
I am here once a year.
I am here during March.
I am here for the annual dragon boat festival.
I've watched the nightly rate go from about $100 to above $120 over the years. I suppose the hotel is taking advantage of the other paddlers that are flying in for the weekend also.
The morning, continental breakfast is decent too since I tend to gravitate towards hard-boiled eggs and yogurt.
I was disappointed that the wi-fi was sketchy. It worked during the day but was dodgy at night. I suppose the wi-fi was overloaded with all the other techie type paddlers making use of the free wi-fi and uploading all of the paddling pics to their fave social netowrking sites.
Clean sheets. Great air conditioning. Hot water. A DVR in the bedroom. Great company. I had a good time.
