I came across the Fiesta Inn Resort while searching for a place to stay while attending a Pilates educational conference.

Although the hotel needs some updating, the rooms are clean and comfortable. For those of us that are schlep our laptops around while traveling, there's free wi-fi.

I don't know why, but the beds are really set up high. I consider myself of average height, but I have to hop up into the bed - but I agree with Marco that the bed is very comfortable with a big, fluffy down comforter. There's a notice in the room saying that if you don't mind, the maids will change your bed sheets every other day in an effort to conserve water and electricity.

I'll have to deduct a star for having only one accessible electrical outlet that worked (and it wasn't next to the desk) and the loud air conditioning unit that kept me awake at night, that I needed to keep running so that the  the room wouldn't get too stuffy or hot.

What I think is really great about this place is the hotel shuttle. The shuttle to and from the airport (which is only 10 minutes away) is free. They also provide free shuttle service to any location within a five mile radius - OH YEAH! SCORE! Saved me a bunch of money since I didn't need to rent a car. The drivers were really nice along with being helpful in giving me tips about good places to eat.

My kitty cats are really gonna be happy when I return home...

This is probably the hotel i stay at most when going to Tempe for work-  

Rooms are nice and comfortable with a bed that is almost as high as my chest-  that part seems a little strange but at least it is comfortable-

its a business hotel, always gonna find the traveling sales men and the like here.  the food in the restaurant and bar is decent, nothing overly outstanding, but again, its a business traveler hotel so wouldn't really expect more than that-

The hotel itself could certainly use some updating, again the rooms are nice, but the rest of the place has a late 70's early 80's feel to it- but who knows, that might just be modern Tempe-

Normally i would give this type of place 3 stars, but there are 3 reasons that give this place it 's boost in my eyes

1. Free Wireless- amazing how many business hotels still dont do this
2. Hard Pillow-  I hate, hate, hate, big fluffy pillows.  If i get to a room in a hotel and see those I know i am screwed.  Give me a thin hard pillow that a can mold and tuck and I'll sleep like a baby.
3.  This is probably the most important part of the 4th star, (and quite possibly the real reason I stay here)  It is walking distance to the Palo Verde-    http://www.yelp.com/bi...
