Short distance to ASU,
Pros:

Decent distance from ASU - the side with the stadium. My guess is that ASU is the main draw for staying in this location. There are a few restaurants just a few hundred feet away across the street. Really close to the freeway - good access.

Cons:

Pay to park. However, it wasn't that expensive - about $11 for one day. Cost for the room was higher than I'd expect but maybe rates were higher due to graduation happening at ASU? This hotel has a different concept that feels simplified / budget though at the same time being pretty nice and modern & clean. The air conditioner in the room was a bit loud though that didn't bother me (it might bother some ppl) and it may have masked sound from the nearby freeway.

Excellent!
Pros:

Very well run hotel. The rooms are clean and there are snacks and drinks available upon check in and throughout your stay. The hotel is a bit loud but you are right by a college and I think there were people partying. In n out is just across the street. The rooms are nice and clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Pros:

The staff was absolutely friendly over the top helpful. The rooms were so much better than I expected. Everything was great. They thought of things that I never would have thought they would. They had extras and the airport shuttle being there 24 hours was a lifesaver and they even gave us a lift once somewhere else when we needed it. The concierge was something I had never had and that was wonderful. They were helpful with everything we needed to know there. They held our bags when we first got there so that we could walk around until time to check in. I really just can't find anything bad to say. There was just so much good at that place. One of the best places I've ever stayed at.

Cons:

Really not much of anything. It was very noisy at night but that wasn't their fault. They even gave us some ear plugs for that reason. If anything I think it would have been great to have had a little bit bigger pool and hot tub maybe but that's just ideas. And a microwave in the room would have been great but they did have one downstairs. That's really the only suggestions I can think of.

Blast of Light
Pros:

This is an amazing hotel with it's contemporary design and incredible levels of service. Check in was fast and easy. Our room was spacious with an innovative design. Breakfast was good.

My only problem was the bathroom. I love the design...up to a point. It's set up such that if you turn on the lights it blasts the entire sleeping area like a lighthouse. Perhaps this is okay for most people but I get up 2 to 3 hours before my wife and she's sensitive to light. As a result, I got cleaned up using the light from my ipad.

We Enjoyed Our Stay at the Aloft Tempe
Pros:

The Aloft Tempe was a perfect fit for us. We made a quick two day trip to the Phoenix area to be with friends. We selected the Aloft Tempe based upon location and reputation. We received a great room and the folks at the front desk were very accommodating. We liked that the hotel is part of the Marriott family of hotels and would stay again. We had a corner room which provided a little extra space from a typical Aloft room. Beds were comfortable and room was clean. Shower water pressure could have been better but not a shop stopper. We did not use the Pool or other amenities at the Hotel. They offer some food items but we did not partake. There is a In-N-Out across the street if you are looking for a burger!
