Nice hotel

The hotel was great, and the room was huge, but we got a handicap-accessible room. The only thing I didn't like was the tiny bathroom sink for such a big space. The views were amazing; we could see Mill Ave, Phoenix, the bridge, and Tempe Town Lake. From the roof, we could see everything, like the ASU campus and A Mountain. The pool was a bit small, but it was nice, and there's also a nice little gym up there. I didn't hear any noise unless we were outside. The bed was comfortable and I slept well.
