Rough Guide "Aimed at younger, hipper travellers, the Aloft chain is a much more affordable and frankly more like able offshoot of the rather snooty designer W hotel group."

Fodor's "True to its name, this hip hotel, located right on Tempe's Rio Salado waterfront, features loft-inspired design, with modern, minimalist decor." Full review
Frommer's "You get a high-ceilinged room with big windows and modern decor...Aloft has a LEED certification and offers special amenities for kids (goodie bags, special kid bedding, a splash pool)." Full review
