We stayed in November and could not beat the price! The walls are thin but the rooms are well lit and clean. Booked through Air BnB, Vince was responsive and eager to help. No issues checking in or out. Only caveat is north of downtown Chandler can get a little seedy at nighttime, just be aware of your surroundings and you're going to be fine. Would absolutely stay here again.

We did enjoy our stay. The amenities are great, the unit was very clean and the grounds were immaculate. Staff was helpful and provided extra towels upon request. The bed and bedding a comfortable. Unit was reasonably priced even during Super Bowl weekend. I would definitely recommend. Deducted points for the lack of a full length mirror and no coffee maker. With only 1 mirror over the bathroom sink it was impossible to see myself before going out and a bit difficult to put makeup on. Also, they advertised that they provide coffee. There were k cups in the room but no coffee maker. Parking is limited. So if you plan on staying out late, ask about street parking

This was such a cute place to stay!! It was a 10 minute walk to downtown Chandler, very nicely remodeled and clean! The beds and pillows were comfy! It is pet friendly as well and provides the cutest amenities! One con was that the walls were very thin and you can definitely hear the neighbors, even just watching tv (kind of loudly) and talking but they went to bed at a decent time luckily. All in all, my husband and I would absolutely stay here again!

We rented this place through Airbnb. I love the vibe of this place. We never had any issues with parking. The rooms are large and very spacious. We were provided with lots of recommendations. The only issue in the room we had was that the tv wasn’t set up so we could watch anything. Which is alright since we were on vacation! We hung out by the pool, which was clean and so refreshing after soaking in the sun. We never had any issue with parking. I would definitely come back.

AirBnB style retro super updated and cute motel. No front desk but host was very attentive and helpful. Adorable room with amenities as described. Good price with one time cleaning fee so longer stay is a net gain. There is a security deposit that is refunded when room is unharmed. The decor is fantastic. Bonus poolside furnishings and a corn hole game. Very pleasant. Bed was not super comfortable for my husband.

Booked through Airbnb and had a really positive experience. The host was very proactive in communication, and the room was clean and adorable. Love that there was a ukulele to play in the room. My only complaint is that the walls are a bit thin, and you can definitely hear neighbors, but they do have quiet hours beginning at 10pm so as long as you're not a light sleeper with an early bedtime you'll be just fine.

My stay at Vince’s suite in Aloha, Chandler, was absolutely excellent. From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless. The space was beautifully maintained, clean, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a long day. It truly felt like a home away from home. Vince was an outstanding host—kind, receptive, and highly professional. He was always available for any questions, ensuring I had everything I needed for a great stay. His attention to detail and hospitality truly made a difference. If you’re looking for a stress-free, comfortable, and well-hosted Airbnb experience in Chandler, this is the place to book. I highly recommend requesting or choosing one of the end units when booking for an even quieter and more private experience. I would absolutely stay here again and encourage anyone visiting the area to do the same!

Great 5-night stay at The Aloha Hotel! Clean, spacious room with a comfy queen bed and a stylish, modern bathroom. Loved the full-glass shower, and the kitchen had all the basics. Quiet spot, close to downtown Chandler. The pool was a bonus, and Elliot was super helpful and responsive. Made all the difference- greatly appreciated! Would absolutely stay again! – Schuyler Family
