City Express by Marriott Tempe

What guests think

Reviews of City Express by Marriott Tempe describe friendly, accommodating staff and decent value near the airport and ASU, alongside ongoing renovations, dated areas, and significant traffic and airplane noise depending on room location.

Breakfast earns frequent praise, and the heated pool and hot tub are appreciated, though the pool was sometimes closed during upgrades. Housekeeping and maintenance feel inconsistent, with reports of key-card and door problems, loud HVAC or fridges, and limited room servicing unless requested. The roadside location is convenient for driving but less walkable for some, and nearby adult venues and a dispensary affect the immediate feel. Expect a basic, service-forward stay with possible noise and renovation disruptions.

Facilities

Heated outdoor pool and hot tub are popular, but the pool was occasionally closed during renovations and some equipment (ice machines, treadmill, elevators) had outages. Parking is straightforward, and listings about an airport shuttle were inaccurate or carried a fee.

It was an average hotel stay. The pool area did not keep towels stocked, so you had to ask at the front desk each time you visited the pool. We stayed for 3 nights and housekeeping gave us fresh towels and emptied our garbage each day. The app and website for the hotel advertises an airport shuttle but they no longer offer it. Our room key also became deactivated daily; they said it was because of my Apple Watch, but at one point even reprogramming the keys didn’t work so the manager had to come and reprogram our door. The staff were kind and the breakfast was decent.

To start, this property is on the "wrong side of the tracks" if you catch my drift. Right next to the freeway so you hear traffic all night. Directly across from a dispensary, and within a mile of not 1, not 2, but 3 strip clubs. So if that's what you're looking for, this place would be a dream for you. On top of that, the hotel was in absolute disarray. It's undergoing "renovation" but really just looks like they're trying to cover up that it's completely outdated and falling apart. It was filthy inside and out. There was hair on my bathroom floor and sheets, and an empty condom wrapper under one of the beds. This is the only hotel I've ever stayed at where they didn't provide soap, so I was washing my hands and body with shampoo. Thankfully I only had to stay one night, less than 9 hours, or I would have cancelled and spent twice as much to stay elsewhere. The front desk guy was nice, at least.

Room: there was no closet, no microwave, no fridge. We changed rooms due to problems w air conditioner. The ac was very dusty/ dirty. The current room / floor had water issues since the bathroom sink had some gunk residue we found when we returned from a day out. Pillows were so fluffy that our heads practically touched the mattress so we asked for another set to use on top. Maintenance staff left at 5p and had Saturday off... so when we had the issue w the sink there was no way to get it fixed or cleaned. I appreciate the front desk for trying to help within all the constraints and issues. The housekeepers gave us as many towels and pillows and what we asked for that they had. Breakfast was standard meh.. We would not recommend and will not visit again.

Enjoyed 4 nights exploring Phoenix with the family, and this was a great vacation. The pool is nicely heated, so the kids spent lots of time there even when it wasn’t that warm out. Our room had a separate room/area for the king bed, which was a big selling point. Breakfast was solid as well. Very happy with our stay.

Hotel is a bit older, currently doing some renovations. The noise from the street is absolutely terrible! Idiots in fast loud cars treat the road like it’s a freaking drag strip. Won’t be staying at this hotel again due to the noise alone, but other than that it’s a good enough spot if you have a kid at ASU.

I have to say this was a great stay. I really liked that the room had a couch and a chair for relaxing. The king sized bed was in a separate room, which allowed one person to move around without disrupting the other to sleep. We stayed three nights here, and it was great to have this small efficient space to relax in. I also want to say the help was very accommodating.

The room was ok and the staff were friendly and courteous. I was disappointed that I was not informed of the MAJOR construction when to booking! As well they proceeded to have their trees pruned and the company doing the work parked In front of my rental car put them in a wood chipper and no one asked me to move my car prior to doing so at 8am. I came out to saw dust and shavings all over the car so I had to do a walk around to be sure there was no damage from a company the hotel hired. I found this all to leave me a little unsettled the entire stay. Communication was lacking on the hotels part.

Four days and three nights here were nothing short of amazing. From the moment my family and I walked in we were met by the most friendly guy at the front desk. Coolidge was very informative and friendly. He made great recommendations for place around the hotel and asked how our stay was going. Same in the evening when Rich came in. He always made sure our stay was comfortable. The ladies who took care of breakfast were on it! Always hot and even with a rush got food out hot and fast. They also stayed open a little longer to make sure everyone had a chance to eat. The housekeeping was also incredible. They made sure we had fresh clean towels along with all other refills/ things we needed during our stay. With two kiddos we visited the pool a lot and there were always towels there and the maintenance guy was always checking on the pool to make sure it was clean and safe. Overall this was an incredible stay thanks to Coolidge, Rich and everyone there. Highly recommend stay. Thanks again!

The front desk staff were helpful. I did have a situation where the keycard pad for the door died. I went to get into my room after an 8 hour conference and my door wouldnt open. The front desk gal used the master key card and another electronic key pad thing to try to get me into my room. But nothing worked. I was locked out of my room, with all of my stuff inside. The front desk gal got a hold of the manager who promised to call me that night. But never did. I was told maintenance would be there in 30-60 minutes to get me in my room. After 60 minutes, they werent there so I went to the front desk. They told me, they wouldnt be there at all that night and I'd have to wait til the next morning. I had nothing with me. Everything was locked in my room. And I had to be at my conference again early the next day. They did get me another room but I had to go to the store and get basic amenities for the night because I was told its not their responsibility to provide those, that its on the guest. Which I had everything I needed but it was LOCKED behind THEIR door. Very very frustrating. Maintenance did show up the next morning and change the battery in the door. He told me it was a very quick fix. I had also mentioned to him how the manager claimed she was calling maintenance the night before but the maintenance guy said he never did get a call. I was not happy. Just think twice before staying here.

Regarding the room itself, the door did not shut easily and had to slam to be shut and locked. It does not seem like a secure place to stay. Also, the hotel double charged me and refused to refund the money. I have a receipt stating I paid in full when I booked and then they charged me for the room a second time after the stay. This hotel will steal your money and you will have a long fight to try to get it back.

I like the staff especially those house keepers. They showed a lot of respect and greeted you whenever you run into them (I always respectfully return the same). Front desk staff are the front-liner that gives first impression about your the hotel and your stay i enjoyed the reception my family and i received upon arrival and departure. My only concern was breakfast insufficiency. At 8:30am there wasn’t enough to eat and people sat waiting for refills from 8:30am to 9:20. The frustration had other customers leaving which in my opinion was a bit embarrassing. My family and I had food even though we didn’t get what we wanted because refills never came for over 50 minutes to an hour and breakfast closes at 9:30am so, i figured there was no hope of refills.
