We recently spent 2 nights at this hotel. Our room was clean and average sized. There is a nice pool area. It's location is great - near the airport and Tempe/ASU. Staff was pleasant.
Not the greatest hotel to stay for a long period of time if you're planning on exploring the Phoenix area, but if you are just in town for a couple days (and especially if you are using the airport), this hotel would do fine.

We were stranded at the airport and picked up the airport courtesy phones. They did give us toothbrush, toothpaste and the shuttle driver at water bottles. However, it was very noisy and as my husband said the 2 pillows may as well have been toilet paper. I used the computer to stay at the nicer hotel down the street for less $ the next nite.

The only reason to stay at this hotel is if you have a flight early the next day or got stranded because of a cancelled flight. Having said that, it was perfectly adequate. They have a free shuttle to the airport available 24 hours a day, a microwave in the room, an ok breakfast spread starting before 5am, internet access, an outdoor pool and the staff was perfectly pleasant. The air conditioner rattled little and it was a little difficult to find the place (there's a 47th Street right next to 47th Place) but the room was clean enough and they got us to the airport on time. This is the low end of the Choice chain, so don't expect it to really be a three-star hotel. It's just a place to sleep. If you are catching a plane in the morning and have a rental car, I suggest you head down University to Mills Ave. near the ASU campus--lots of restaurants, stores and people.

Pros: In-room microwave and refrigerator, menus for restaurants that deliver to the hotel, vending machines that dispense hot pizza (not so much a pro, as an impressive feat of food distribution), friendly shuttle drivers (think Cheech and Chong … MAN). Good breakfast, including do-it-yourself waffles, boiled eggs, bagels, cereal, oatmeal, etc.

Cons: Postage stamp sized room, shower/toilet enclave door that would not lock, very noisy room. To catch the airport shuttle from the airport, you can only leave a phone message. The message fails to tell you that regardless of where you are, you must make your way to the blue diamond at the north terminal pick-up location to catch the shuttle (a fact that we did not learn until we called the front desk after waiting 30 minutes in the south terminal).

Aside from the vending machines, the Sleep Inn does not have on-site food services. Instead, walk across the street to the Hilton and enjoy free hors d'oeuvres during happy hour (5-7pm) at the on-site sports bar. Then, walk through the bar to the restaurant and indulge yourself on a reasonably priced dessert.

Bottom line: If you need to spend the night in Phoenix while you wait for your flight home the next day, one night at the Sleep Inn will not kill you.
