Best Hotels near Western International University

Flanking the northwest edge of the Arizona State University campus, Tempe Mission Palms allows guests easy access to the area's museums, parks and shopping centers. Guests love the resort's convenient location, but they also recommend taking advantage of the hotel's facilities. The rooftop swimming pool is a popular spot to kick back and soak up some rays; you'll also find a tennis court and a basketball hoop up there, just in case you grow restless. And though Tempe's numerous eateries can be found nearby, visitors recommend breakfast or lunch at the Mission Grille Restaurant, which serves up Southwestern cuisine. When bedtime rolls around, you'll find rooms here to be spacious and stylish. However, some recent guests note that the hotel's location near the airport means that overhead noise is common. Try booking a room on a middle floor for a more peaceful slumber.

The Arizona Grand Resort is big. Just how big? Big enough to have its own water park, 18-hole golf course, fitness club and spa — plus six restaurants. With so much to see and do on-site and off, guests are happily overwhelmed with the options for fun at the resort. When you need an escape, book a massage or prepare to hit the links, which features fantastic desert views. If you're not a golfer, you can take in the scenery from your guest room's balcony or patio; accommodations also feature flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi access. The resort is not close to the business centers of downtown Phoenix or the upscale shopping of Scottsdale, so be prepared to drive or stay put.
