Extended Stay America Suites

For students, visiting scholars, parents, or anyone involved with Arizona State University needing a temporary home that feels anything but temporary, Extended Stay America Suites Phoenix Airport Tempe presents a compelling and practical solution. Strategically located to offer both convenience and comfort, this hotel is engineered specifically for the unique demands of extended travel, making it an ideal choice for those whose stay in Tempe is measured in weeks or months, not just days.

Prime Location for the Sun Devil Community

While the “Airport” in its name highlights its easy access to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (just a 10-minute drive), the hotel’s true value for the ASU community lies in its proximity to the Tempe campus. Situated approximately 3.5 miles away, it’s a short and straightforward 10-15 minute drive or bus ride to the heart of ASU. This places you comfortably outside the immediate bustle of the university, offering a quieter residential atmosphere, while keeping you close enough to easily attend classes, use the library, meet with study groups, or enjoy campus events. Furthermore, its location on East Washington Street provides direct access to major freeways like I-10 and the 202, connecting you effortlessly to the broader Phoenix metro area for exploration or internships.

Designed for Long-Term Living

The standout feature of Extended Stay America is right in its name: the suites. This isn’t just a hotel room; it’s a functional, compact apartment designed to make life easier during an extended stay.

• Fully-Equipped Kitchenettes: This is the game-changer for long-term guests. Every suite includes a refrigerator, a stovetop, a microwave, and a coffee maker. More importantly, it’s stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils. For students on a budget, this means the ability to meal-prep, save significantly on food costs by avoiding daily restaurants, and enjoy the comfort of a home-cooked meal. For parents in town for an extended visit, it provides the flexibility to maintain family eating routines.

• Dedicated Workspace with Free Wi-Fi: Each suite features a spacious work desk, perfect for setting up a laptop, textbooks, and notes. Coupled with complimentary Wi-Fi, it creates an ideal environment for studying, researching, or completing assignments without needing to hunt for a coffee shop seat.

• Ample Space to Unwind: Unlike a standard hotel room, the separate living and sleeping areas in many of the suites provide a sense of space that is crucial for mental well-being during a long stay. You can spread out, relax on the sofa, and truly decompress after a long day on campus.

Essential Amenities for a Comfortable Stay

Understanding that life continues even during a temporary relocation, Extended Stay America provides key amenities to support your daily routine.

• On-Site Laundry Facilities: A crucial and often overlooked necessity for long-term stays, the availability of on-site guest laundry means you can pack lighter and maintain your wardrobe without seeking out a laundromat.

• Free Grab-and-Go Breakfast: Start your day with ease thanks to the complimentary breakfast. The hotel offers a selection of granola bars, muffins, hot coffee, and tea, providing a quick, convenient, and cost-effective way to fuel up before heading to ASU.

• Pet-Friendly Policy (with fee): Recognizing that your move, even a temporary one, might include a furry family member, the hotel is pet-friendly. This eliminates the immense stress and cost of finding alternative arrangements for your pet, making the transition to Tempe much smoother.

• Free Parking: For those who have driven to Tempe or are using a car to get around, the complimentary on-site parking is a significant financial saving and a major convenience.

Ideal For:

The hotel is perfectly suited for a wide range of guests connected to ASU:

• Students in Transitional Housing: Those waiting for a dorm or apartment lease to begin.

• Visiting Researchers and Faculty: Academics in town for a semester or a special project.

• Parents of ASU Students: Families in town for extended periods for move-in, graduation, or to support their student.

• Prospective Students & Families: Those on an extended campus visit or orientation trip.

It’s a practical, comfortable, and strategically smart choice for making your extended time in Tempe both productive and pleasant.
