Travel tips
If you’re visiting Arizona State University or ASU Art Museum, plan to walk—both are close, with the campus about an 8-minute walk and the museum under 1 km away. Many major attractions (Phoenix Zoo, Papago Park, Desert Botanical Garden, Tempe Town Lake) are easiest by car or rideshare from this address. If having a working in-room minifridge is important, consider checking it shortly after arrival, as at least one guest reported a refrigerator issue.
