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."
Gayot "Whether you want to be within walking distance of Sun Devil Stadium, close to great golf courses or near corporate headquarters, you'll love this sleek hotel."
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
