SpringHill Suites by Marriott Tempe

The hotel’s recent renovation is evident in its cheerful, modern suites — equipped with free fast Wi-Fi, sleeper sofas and mini fridges. The common areas are just as stylish, with sleek wood furnishings and plenty of areas to congregate, including 375 square feet of event space for up to 20 people. Get cozy in the updated lobby where a free breakfast bar awaits in the mornings; at night, get your BBQ on at the new grilling patio, which also features a fire pit, a heated swimming pool and lush landscaping.

The entertainment options are endless for both indoor and outdoor entertainment. Take in the stunning beauty of the Sonoran desert by visiting one of the seven golf courses in the area or stop by Tempe Diablo Stadium, Desert Botanical Gardens or the nearby Rawhide special events venue. When temperatures soar, take respite at Madison Ave Salon & Day Spa or delight the whole family with a stop at Arizona Mills Mall, where you’ll find outlets, a movie theater, a Legoland Discovery Center and Sea Life Arizona Aquarium.
