UC sends faculty and staff to the Phoenix metro area regularly for ASU collaborations, PAC-12 events, and conferences at the Tempe Convention Center. This Wyndham property sits minutes from Sky Harbor and right in the Tempe corridor, making it a practical base without the downtown Phoenix price tag. Corporate code 1000005337 drops the nightly rate and still lets you earn full Wyndham Rewards points, which matters when your department's travel budget is tight.
The Property
The Wyndham Phoenix Airport/Tempe sits at 1600 S 52nd St in Tempe, roughly a six minute drive (5 km) from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The surrounding area along the I-10 corridor is a mix of business parks, chain restaurants, and mid-range hotels that cater heavily to corporate travelers and conference attendees. It holds a 3.9 rating across 1,751 reviews, which puts it solidly in the reliable, no-surprises category for a Wyndham full-service property.
Rooms at this Wyndham tier typically include a king or two-queen setup with a work desk, ergonomic chair, and enough outlets to charge a laptop and phone simultaneously. Expect around 300 to 350 square feet, which is standard for a mid-scale Wyndham, with a coffeemaker and mini fridge in most configurations. If you need more space for a longer UC research trip, ask about suites at booking since the corporate code often applies to upgraded room types as well.
The property features an outdoor pool and hot tub, a fitness center, and an on-site restaurant and bar for nights when you don't want to Uber somewhere for dinner. Airport shuttle service is a major perk here, saving you $15 to $25 each way compared to rideshare during peak hours. Business travelers also get access to meeting rooms and a business center with printing, which is useful when you need to prep materials before a morning presentation at ASU.
Arizona State University's Tempe campus is about 10 minutes northwest by car, and the Mill Avenue entertainment district with its restaurants and shops is a similar distance. For quick meals, the stretch along South 48th Street and Broadway Road has a Chili's, Denny's, and several fast casual spots within a five minute drive. The Valley Metro light rail station at Priest Drive and Washington is reachable in about 10 minutes, connecting you to downtown Phoenix and Mesa without a rental car.
Your Savings Breakdown
| Rate Tier | Rack Rate | Corporate Rate | Points Earned | Point Value | Net Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $130 | $111 | 1,110 pts | $5.55 | $105.45 | $24.55 |
| Superior | $210 | $179 | 1,790 pts | $8.95 | $170.05 | $39.95 |
| Premium | $340 | $289 | 2,890 pts | $14.45 | $274.55 | $65.45 |
A room that normally lists at $210 per night drops to around $179 when you enter the UC corporate code, saving you $31 upfront. On top of that, the $179 earns you 1,790 Wyndham Rewards points at the standard 10 points per dollar, and those points are worth roughly $8.95 when redeemed for free nights. That brings your effective net cost to about $170.05, meaning you're pocketing close to $40 in total value compared to booking at rack rate.

Stack Your Savings
Wyndham Rewards elite status layers nicely on top of corporate rates. Gold members get late checkout and room upgrades when available, Platinum members add a 15% point bonus (bumping your 1,790 points to around 2,059), and Diamond members earn a 30% bonus plus guaranteed room type. If you stay at Wyndham properties even a few times a year for UC travel, hitting Gold status at 5 qualifying nights is very achievable.
The Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus card from Barclays earns 5x points per dollar on Wyndham stays, which stacks with the 10 points per dollar you earn as a member, giving you 15 points per dollar total. That turns a $179 night into 2,685 points worth about $13.43. If you don't have the Wyndham card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Capital One Venture both code hotel spend at 2x to 5x their own points, so you're still double-dipping on value.
Wyndham runs periodic promotions, typically each quarter, offering bonus points for completing a set number of stays (for example, earn 7,500 bonus points after 3 stays). Book during these promo windows to stack extra points on top of your corporate rate. Also, rates at Phoenix area hotels tend to drop significantly from June through September during the extreme heat low season, so pairing the corporate discount with already reduced summer pricing can push your savings well above the typical range.
Bottom Line: Depending on the season and room type, UC employees can expect to save between $24.55 and $65.45 per night at the Wyndham Phoenix Airport/Tempe using code 1000005337. The airport shuttle alone justifies choosing this property over cheaper options further from Sky Harbor, and the Wyndham Rewards points add tangible value that accumulates fast if Phoenix is a regular destination. It's a solid, no-fuss pick for UC business travel that keeps you close to ASU, the airport, and the Tempe business corridor without overspending.
