Top Phoenix Zoo Hotel Reviews

Tempe Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were prompt to answer any questions, all rooms seemed to be regularly maintained. El was very nice. Great rooms for the price."

Radisson Hotel Phoenix Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean with nice staff. Perfect for our early morning flight at PHX."

SpringHill Suites Phoenix Airport/Tempe

8/10 Good

"I really like the Springhill suite hotels because of the additional sleeping accommodations. The are fairly comfortable and very clean. There is a good size couch with a trundle bed, which makes it ideal for families. The room is pretty good size as well. The continental breakfast is very good and has a nice selection of food. One of the only downsides to this particular hotel is it’s not in the best part of the Phoenix metropolitan area but they do have a security officer on site. The last thing I will say is, I’ve always had a good experience with the staff. I find them very helpful and pleasant."

The Westin Tempe

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful check in. Room was available early which made the whole stay so much more enjoyable. Great rooftop pool. SkySill was great for cocktails and had a view of A Mountain."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Phoenix - Tempe by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff and brwakfast!"
