Top South Tempe Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel Phoenix Tempe

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. ESPECIALLY THE HAPPY HOUR 👌 I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay."

Royal Palms Resort and Spa, part of Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"The staff across the entire property (restaurant, reception, housekeeping were exceptional and friendly). Everyone was accommodating to all my requests. The property is beautiful and pretty quiet. My spa treatment was amazing! One critique I would say is that the spa isn’t as complete as I’d like in terms of amenities. The quiet room was packed so there weren’t enough seats for the guests getting treatments. In general for such a massive property I found the spa to be rather small. Overall would definitely stay again. Book a casita if you can."

Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice landscaping throughout. Enjoyed the combination of nature & beauty throughout the resort. Staff were all amazingly friendly & helpful in every aspect from check in to check out. Also loved the convenience of the location. The spa experience was memorable. Will be happy to return in the near future."
