The location was convenient and easy to find. Check in was quick even though I arrived after 10 pm. The room, linens, and bathroom were spotless and the lights were on when I opened the door. I would recommend this inn for a no-frills place close to ASU and the light rail and at a great price.

Very nice front staff. Street is noisy during the day but quiets down at night. Room is clean. Decent bed. For the price it’s a good value. Best part for me is right across the street from ASU.
