| - At first glance it looks like another chain with a clean well maintained landscaped and organized parking area. The lobby looks like a big family cabin. The front desk has freshly baked and covered cookies. There is wrapped candy by the fireplace, fresh Granny Smith Apples by the door. There is a coffee station by the time you reach the elevators.
My room was clean and a pretty good size. The window faced the alley with dumpsters and an area of parking for the hotel. I had two comfortable Queen beds, a modern new widescreen t.v. and bubble ceilings. The bathroom water can be very hot. The bath and face soap was good, however, the shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer was not. The front desk was quick to provide me with many bathroom amenities, however, I only needed toothpaste.
There is a complimentary breakfast with canned tropical fruit which is quite good actually. Fresh bananas, creamy oatmeal, dry cereals, yogurt, nuts, raisins, milk, 2%, tea, amazing waffles, powdered scrambled eggs, potatoes and sausage all well displayed. The coffee was fresh and not good. There are cheap looking danishes and pastries. However, the whole wheat bread was moist and satisfying.
The pool and jacuzzi area is comfortable, attractive and well maintained. There is an outdoor eating area just outside the breakfast area. Its a great area to sit back and feel the relaxing breeze and warmth of Mesa. There is an exercise room, however, there also is a free shuttle service to a local gym. This FREE gym was fantastic with all the updated modern exercise equipment.
Free working WiFi in my room. There is a business center where I was able to print my schedule for work. Their is a laundry room.
The service provided by the employees was top notch. Melanie, one of the shuttle drivers dropped me off at the local gym. She knew I had a lobby crew check-in coming up. I was distracted exercising at the gym. She found my number from the front desk and called me to ask if I needed a pick-up back to the hotel. It was perfect.
Overall, this is yet another 3 star hotel with 5 star service.
