Boulevard Stays Modern Tempe 1BR ASU Pool, Gym 11
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
Boulevard Stays Modern Tempe 1BR ASU Pool, Gym 11 is a self-check-in apartment unit inside a residential building a block from ASU's Tempe campus. Rather than a traditional lobby or front desk, guests get a design-forward, roughly 600-square-foot apartment with a Virtual Front Desk and text/phone-based guest support available seven days a week. The unit sleeps two on a single queen bed and is professionally cleaned between stays.
Unit & Amenities
The apartment includes a full kitchen with dishes, cookware, and dishwasher, plus a microwave, oven/stove, and coffee setup, making it well suited to longer stays. In-unit laundry (washer), a Smart TV with cable, air conditioning and heating, an ironing board, and a private balcony round out the living space. The building itself adds a fitness center, elevator, and pool for guest use.
Parking & Policies
Paid on-site parking is available but billed separately from the room by an independent operator, which reviewers note is still more affordable than typical hotel parking. The property is pet-friendly for one registered pet per unit (with a nightly fee), smoke-free, and requires ID verification, a background check, and a refundable $250 security deposit as part of check-in.
Location & Dining
The property sits within a five-minute walk of several Tempe dining spots, including Someburros, El Paisano Restaurant, Dragon Flame Chinese Grill, NYC Halal Eats, and Jalapeno's Taco Spot, with Society (Italian) and Original ChopShop a bit farther out. Transit is close at hand via nearby Flag Zone bus stops on Terrace Rd and the Dorsey Ln/Apache Blvd tram stops, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is about 8.2 km away.
Best for
This property suits ASU visitors, graduation travelers, and longer-stay guests who want apartment-style living with a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and building pool/gym rather than a standard hotel room. It also works well for pet owners and budget-conscious travelers, given the pet-friendly policy and on-site parking that reviewers found cheaper than hotel rates.
Travel tips
Complete the required check-in form (ID verification, background check, payment details) before arrival, since your unit number and door code are only released after submission. Self check-in starts at 4pm, and the on-site parking is paid and billed separately from your reservation, so budget for that separately. Nearby Flag Zone bus stops (Terrace Rd & Lemon St, Terrace Rd & Apache Bl) and the Dorsey Ln/Apache Blvd tram stops make it easy to reach downtown Tempe, Mill Avenue, and the Phoenix Light Rail system without a car.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, quiet atmosphere, and comfort of the apartment, along with the building's resort-style pool and business center Wi-Fi that made honeymoon and week-long stays feel smooth. Several reviewers highlight the highly responsive, professional host communication and easy virtual check-in process. The walkable proximity to ASU campus, restaurants, and pharmacies is frequently mentioned as a major convenience, and on-site parking is called out as notably more affordable than hotel parking. No recurring negative themes appear in the available excerpts.
