Tempe Mission Palms

We did a stay vacation with our grandchildren. We wanted to get out of the heat and swim. We were willing to pay a little more to spoil ourselves. However, when we reached the hotel it was under some construction on the property involving the parking lot and areas on the way to the pool, impacting the elevators. Also, when we went into our room we didn't realize the booking was for 2 standard beds instead of queen beds, and at the front desk we could not upgrade to queen beds as the property only had standard or king beds. We were very surprised as we have never encountered that at any other property before. We were informed that the property mainly caters to business travel. We live very close to ASU in Tempe, and there are so many hotel options now fairly new, so The Mission Palms being an older resort, but still what I would consider higher prices was a little surprising.
With all that being said, although I had inquired to upgrade our room for queen beds and was considering whether or not to stay, the front desk staff to my surprise and appreciation upgraded us to a much larger room with a king and what she described as a very comfortable sofa bed for our grandchildren. When we went inside we all felt and said, now we're talking. It felt more inclined to what we paid! Still not 2 beds, but it felt extremely spacious and more upgraded. I was very grateful! We see stayed linger and oaud a fee to check out later to be able to swim more. To be honest, it was the exceptionally friendly staff throughout our entire stay that absolutely made our visit wonderful! The bellmen, the front desk a.m. and p.m., and the staff in the pub that we walked in and ordered food from to take to our room! Extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the property. While we waited they encouraged us and showed us how we could walk around the property courtyard which was beautiful at night until our food was prepared. They were even very nice to our small grandchildren.

Great. Plenty of options

The valet team was excellent. The property is gorgeous and clean. While there was maintenance happening it was well managed.

The staff where all very friendly and I could tell they wanted to be helpful and do their job well. I loved the deal I found that got me a decent room at a great price!

Friendly staff,
Location
Good transport links
Reasonably priced food and drinks, apart from chips(fries) on par with eating out in local area

Beautiful hotel! Staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean and smells fresh. The grounds are well maintained. The bell staff are great! They took us to see the hole in the rock on one afternoon after our meeting concluded. Also easy, walking access to several restaurants.

We've stayed multiple times. Best hotel to stay at in Tempe, especially if you're visiting ASU. Perfect for family weekend. Clean, well kept, beautiful grounds. Lots of amenities, and staff is remarkably nice

Conveniently located, the shuttle service to airport is excellent. The courtyard at the center of the hotel is an oasis in the city. The rooftop swimming pool is perfect with great views of the hills and sunset. The food was better than expected.

This is a really lovely hotel. Not a brand new, modern type of hotel but it is maintained really, really well. Nothing is broke or looks dirty. I was assigned a courtyard facing room so it was quiet too except due to proximity to the airport there can be plane noises.

I rarely leave reviews but feel compelled to make an exception. This isn’t a hotel you can sleep at on a weekend due to nearby university bars/partying. Plan accordingly.

Tempe Mission Palms is in the center of everything. Great location and within walking distance to restaurants, entertainment, walking trails, and local transportation. The property is gorgeous at night. We did get in a little pool time, and it was quite nice. Definitely gives the resort-style feel without going to the beach. The weather was dry, unlike Texas, which is full of humidity. We will one day return and explore other areas of Arizona, keeping Tempe Palms in mind as our next stay.
