“Sonesta Select Tempe Downtown strikes me as a practical choice, especially given its proximity to Arizona State University and the lure of Tempe nightlife; I imagine business travelers appreciate the meeting spaces, and families find comfort in the spacious suites. However, I noted mentions of cleanliness issues and inconsistent service, which would give me pause; the saltwater pool and on-site market, though, are nice differentiating touches if those concerns are addressed.”
