Top Downtown Tempe Hotel Reviews

Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak

10/10 Excellent

"It’s one if those resorts you don’t even want to review because you don’t want to help drive prices up and sell out but it is hands down my favorite place to stay in AZ. Beautiful grounds, pools, lazy river, slides are endless fun, scheduled activities for kids are an incredible addition, arcade, variety of food options from expensive restaurants to mid to grabbing a pizza and all are great. Staff is awesome, friendly, helpful. A++ all around. Oh, idk why you’re visiting AZ, we went just for this resort, I would have a hard time leaving the grounds to go anywhere, it’s way too nice to leave 😉"
