Detailed Reviews: Top Tempe AZ Hotels with a Pool
1. Drury Plaza Hotel Phoenix Tempe
The Vibe
Drury Plaza runs like a well-oiled machine — the 9.7 staff score is the highest on this entire list. Add in a 9.6 cleanliness rating and a free breakfast that guests describe as “great selection,” and you have a hotel that genuinely cares about the details. The heated outdoor pool stays open, and the complimentary evening happy hour (pulled pork, snacks, drinks included) turns a standard hotel stay into a mini event. Skip the restaurant hunt and head to the lobby bar instead.
What You Actually Get
You get a 4-star property with a solid set of amenities: free parking (rare near Tempe), free WiFi clocking in at 9.4, and a fitness center if you want to offset the happy hour. The pool is the outdoor type, clean and maintained. Rooms include bathtubs and air conditioning — crucial for summer stays. Pets are allowed (max 2, with a $50 damage deposit), making this a top choice for travelers who don’t want to leave their dog behind. A hot breakfast buffet is included daily.
Choose this if: You want the highest-rated overall Tempe AZ hotel with a pool, and you actually enjoy a free drink at the end of a travel day.
2. Hyatt Place Tempe Phoenix University
The Vibe
A reliable Hyatt Place execution with a prime spot right across from Arizona State University. The location score of 9.2 reflects what guests consistently mention: walking distance to restaurants, açaí bowls, ice cream shops, and the university pulse. The heated year-round pool means no cold-water surprises, even during Tempe’s milder winter mornings. Breakfast is included and guests give it solid marks — not gourmet, but far better than a granola bar and coffee.
What You Actually Get
All rooms come with mini-refrigerators, comfortable beds, and the standard Hyatt Place living-area layout. The property includes a fitness center and private parking for $16 nightly with in-and-out privileges — worth noting since parking near ASU is usually a headache. The outdoor swimming pool is heated and available year-round. Free WiFi scores 8.2, which is fine for streaming but not blazing fast. Pets are allowed with charges — call ahead for the exact fee structure.
Choose this if: You need a Tempe AZ hotel with a pool that puts you within walking distance of campus and Mill Avenue dining.

3. Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Tempe – Phoenix Airport
The Vibe
A no-frills, budget-conscious pick that doesn’t pretend to be luxury. The staff score of 8.4 is a solid sign that the front-desk team is responsive and helpful. Rooms are basic but clean, with free WiFi and an outdoor swimming pool that does the job for a quick cool-down. The location near the airport makes it a convenient stopover, especially if you’re flying in late or out early.
What You Actually Get
Rooms include free WiFi (scoring 6.8 — expect basic browsing speeds), air conditioning, and elevator access to upper floors. The outdoor pool is seasonal and available for guest use. Parking is free and plentiful — a perk that’s hard to find closer to downtown Tempe. The pet policy is one of the most generous in this list: one well-behaved domestic pet stays completely free, with a second pet costing $15/night. A $75 security deposit is required at check-in.
Choose this if: Budget is your main concern and you need a pool + free parking near the airport.

4. Motel 6 Tempe, AZ Elliot Road
The Vibe
Motel 6 is the king of the absolute base-rate, and this location on Elliot Road doesn’t break tradition. You get what you need: a bed, a bathroom, an outdoor pool, and free parking. The location score of 8.0 is decent for accessing south Tempe and the Interstate. The WiFi score of 5.0 is a clear warning — plan to use mobile data if you need reliable internet.
What You Actually Get
Every room includes a microwave and refrigerator — a small but meaningful detail for budget travelers who want to store leftovers or keep drinks cold. The outdoor swimming pool is there for a dip. Free parking on site, no hassles. The pet policy is fantastic: pets stay completely free with zero extra charges, which is extremely rare. A $100 security deposit is required for cash or prepaid card payments.
Choose this if: You want a cheap Tempe AZ hotel with a pool and don’t care about fancy extras or blazing WiFi.
5. Spark by Hilton Tempe Phoenix Airport
The Vibe
The Spark by Hilton (formerly a different brand) has undergone a recent renovation, and guests are noticing. The cleanliness score of 8.0 and staff score of 8.6 suggest a property that’s improving. The outdoor heated pool is available, though renovation work on the pool area was noted in fine print — check current status before booking. Balconies in some rooms add a nice touch of outdoor space.
What You Actually Get
The property features a free 24/7 airport shuttle — a major plus for early or late flights. Free on-site parking is included, along with a fitness center and air conditioning. Breakfast is included and rated as “good breakfast” by Booking.com guests. Pets are allowed but with a $50/night fee and a $150 security deposit per pet — only dogs under 25 pounds, one per room. Some rooms had in-room jacuzzi tubs, but those are currently under renovation.
Choose this if: You need an airport-adjacent pool hotel with reliable late-night transportation.

6. Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU
The Vibe
Omni Tempe delivers a polished, full-service hotel experience right on University Drive in the heart of ASU. The cleanliness score of 9.6 ties for the top on this list, and the overall 9.2 rating reflects strong performance across every category. This is the hotel for guests who want more than just a bed and a pool — the on-site restaurant and bar make it feel like a downtown stay without leaving the building.
What You Actually Get
The outdoor swimming pool is well-maintained and offers a nice break from the Arizona heat. The fitness center is open 24 hours. Valet parking is the only option at $39/night — worth budgeting for if you drive. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the bar is a legit hangout. Pets are allowed with charges. The property also acknowledged a guest’s birthday with a special touch — the staff here pays attention to details.
Choose this if: You want a full-service, high-cleanliness Tempe AZ hotel with a pool and don’t mind paying for valet.
7. Hyatt Place Tempe Phoenix Airport
The Vibe
A strong airport-hybrid that balances proximity to Sky Harbor with the comfort of a modern Hyatt Place. The guest feedback highlights the pool as a family favorite — kids enjoy it, and adults appreciate the heated year-round access. Breakfast is included and described as “very good breakfast” by the data, with a great spread that goes beyond the standard cereal-and-toast routine.
What You Actually Get
Rooms are spacious with the signature Hyatt Place sofa-sleeper layout. The heated outdoor swimming pool is open year-round. Free private parking is included — a major perk since many airport-area hotels charge for it. The free airport shuttle runs during standard hours, and check-in is flexible until 1 AM. Pets are allowed on request with charges. WiFi scores 8.8, which is strong enough for streaming and video calls.
Choose this if: You need an airport hotel with a pool that doesn’t nickel-and-dime you on parking or breakfast.
Check Tonight’s Price for Hyatt Place Tempe Phoenix Airport →
8. SpringHill Suites Tempe at Arizona Mills Mall
The Vibe
SpringHill Suites delivers a consistent Marriott product — clean rooms, friendly staff (8.9), and a location that’s hard to beat for mall access. The Arizona Mills Mall is steps away, which means you have food court options, a movie theater, and shopping without needing to drive. The outdoor pool is available for a quick break between shopping rounds.
What You Actually Get
All-suite rooms with separate sitting areas, microwaves, and mini-fridges. The outdoor swimming pool is open seasonally. Breakfast is included and described as “wonderful breakfast” by the data — expect a hot buffet with eggs, meat, and waffles. Private parking is available but comes with a recapture fee. Children 12 and under stay free when using existing bedding. A $50/night incidental hold is required at check-in.
Choose this if: Shopping at Arizona Mills Mall is part of your Tempe plan and you want a pool to come back to.

9. Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Phoenix Tempe/Airport
The Vibe
Fairfield Inn hits the trifecta for value-conscious travelers: free airport shuttle, free parking, and free breakfast — all while maintaining a 9.2 overall rating and a 9.5 cleanliness score. Guests consistently mention the clean rooms, friendly staff (9.3), and the ease of the airport connection. The pool is an outdoor swimming pool, standard but clean.
What You Actually Get
Rooms include bathtubs, air conditioning, and comfortable beds. The free airport shuttle saves you the Uber cost. The excellent breakfast includes hot items and is well-reviewed. Pets are not allowed here — so this one is for non-pet travelers only. No age restriction for check-in, which is helpful for younger travelers. The property also has an elevator for easy luggage access.
Choose this if: You want a clean, no-pet airport hotel with a pool and want to pay exactly zero for parking and breakfast.
Check Tonight’s Price for Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Phoenix Tempe/Airport →
10. Hampton Inn & Suites Tempe/Phoenix Airport, Az
The Vibe
Hampton Inn delivers exactly what the brand promises: consistency, cleanliness (9.2), and a staff that scores 9.4. The standout feature here is the WiFi score of 9.8 — the fastest internet connection on this entire list by a wide margin. If you need to work from your hotel room or stream without buffering, this is the pick. The pool is an outdoor swimming pool, and the free breakfast is rated as “good breakfast.”
What You Actually Get
Free 24-hour airport shuttle — call the hotel directly upon arrival for immediate pickup. Free private parking is included, along with free WiFi that actually works well.

11. Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tempe by IHG

This is a strong value play for travelers who need reliable internet and a comfortable room without paying for 4-star frills.
What You Actually Get

Check Tonight’s Price for Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tempe by IHG →
12. Tempe Oasis
The Vibe
Tempe Oasis is an apartment-style property that feels more like a short-term rental than a hotel. The full kitchen (with cookware and appliances), in-unit washing machine, and separate living area make it ideal for extended stays or guests who prefer cooking their own meals. The pool with a view is a standout — it overlooks the property and offers a quieter atmosphere than a standard hotel pool deck.
What You Actually Get

The 8.1 cleanliness score and 8.1 comfort score are adequate, though not standout.
