Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU is at 7 East University Drive in the center of Tempe, and It is a four-class property with exceptionally high guest scores. The location is the headline: Arizona State University, the Mill Avenue District and the 9th Street and Mill Avenue tram stop are all about a one-minute walk away, Mountain America Stadium is about eleven minutes on foot and Tempe Town Lake about fifteen. The hotel has 330 rooms with air conditioning, free in-room WiFi and 55-inch flat-screen TVs, an outdoor pool with cabanas, sun loungers and umbrellas, two restaurants serving American cuisine, a coffee shop, a poolside bar and a firepit. A gym, 24-hour front desk, gift shop and laundry services round out the amenities, and the hotel holds LEED certification. Valet parking is charged per night, dogs up to 25 pounds are allowed for a per-stay fee and service animals are exempt. Check-in is from 4 PM and check-out at 11 AM, and free cancellation is available on select rates.
Tempe is the walkable part of the Valley, and this hotel puts you in its center. Mill Avenue has restaurants, bars, shops and a college-town buzz that downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale resorts do not match, and the tram connects with light rail for trips toward downtown Phoenix and Mesa. Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is about a 13-minute drive, which makes arrival and departure easy. For visitors who want to explore the Valley without renting a car for every day, this is one of the best locations.
Who should stay? University visitors and parents, football and event fans heading to Mountain America Stadium, and travelers who want nightlife and dining within a short walk will love it. Couples and friends can enjoy the pool and firepit in the evening, and families can use the pool and walk to Mill Avenue for meals. Those seeking a large, resort-style spa and golf property will do better in Paradise Valley or South Mountain. Expect higher rates on ASU graduation, football and move-in weekends, and book early for those dates.
Make the most of the location
Walk to Tempe Town Lake for a sunset stroll or a kayak, visit the SEA LIFE Arizona aquarium and the LEGOLAND Discovery Center a short drive away, and use the tram and light rail for downtown Phoenix. Summers are hot, so plan outdoor time for early morning and evening, and use the pool in the afternoon. Check the current parking charge when comparing prices, since valet fees add to the nightly cost.
