My bf and I like to escape our roomies every couple of weeks, and we found this little gem in the heart of downtown Tempe. There's no room service, the ice machine works periodically, and there's no cute little shampoo in the shower. What there is: a huge comfortable bed with clean white sheets, better-than-basic cable, an AC that will... More

We pulled into this motel on a whim because we wanted to be within walking distance to the main Mill St. strip. I actually had a positive experience with the owner/manager upon walking in and booking the room; however, within 10 seconds of walking in, we found a live cockroach in our bathroom and two dead ones in the bedroom/living...

This motel is a dump with old furniture and appliances that do not work. The AC kept making unusual vibrating noise, and when I told the owner he won't acknowledge it or even look at it. You get one very small bar of soap when you use it crumbles into pieces. The office and outside always smelled Indian curry food.... More

I wish I had read these other review earlier. They were right on. The place is a dump. The motel has doors that won't close, broken televisions and air conditioners and is infested with cockroaches. It has also changed its name to University Inn and Suites, so beware! The owner/on site manager is a true con artist! When I called... More

Room was dirty, with black spots on the carpet and we suspect with insects in the bed (my girlfriend had twenty bites on... More

This place was horrible! We overpayed and expected much nicer. When we arrived, we were shocked at the motel's condition. The walls were crumbling down, the tiny rooms were stinky and unkept. The heater blew out cold air. The manager there was a total jerk. He was rude and when we asked for more than the two peices of washclothes... More
