Top South Tempe Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Phoenix Tempe

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here twice this July and enjoyed our stay both times. The property itself is lovely with plenty of places to sit & chat. Breakfast was an appreciated perk - wish we could’ve been there for Happy Hour, but we never made that one. Great location for us when visiting family in the Optimist Park area - convenient to lots of things. Thus will be our go-to place when it’s too hot for the RV."

Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Had a 2 night stay the check in staff were so nice and helpful they even give you a map of the resort. The room was clean and the view of our room was amazing especially during sunset. The resort had so many pools, I didn’t get to try the restaurants or the bar but they have everything you might need if you didn’t want to leave the resort. Would definitely stay here again especially for the price and all the amenities 10/10."

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."
