I echo Cindy C.'s glowing review of this hotel-we stayed here before flying out of Mesa Airport (IWA) for a morning flight last weekend. It is the absolute-best Best Western property I have ever used for a nightly nap and is VERY close to the airport (in a positive way, not in a negative/noisy way). The staffers were very pleasant and the facility appearance resembled a few boutique-hotels in which I have stayed previously. I can see where business-travelers could be quite at home here. The free breakfast used Tazo teas to accompany an otherwise "normal" hotel-with-wafflemaker breakfast. The room was well-decorated and apportioned, with an air conditioner which worked very well. The restroom had a heat lamp in it and the large bath tub had one of those "rain-styled" showerheads so many people are adding to their showers these days. The in-room refrigerator worked well; I did not try the microwave or coffee machine during my stay. The work-out room had decent equipment (a treadmill, some weight machines, a set of hand-weights going to 50#, and more) and did not smell of sweat as many can. The outdoor swimming pool was well-kept, with a hot-tub connected to it, allowing you to hop from hot-tub-to-swimming-pool without walking onto the pool deck; the water temperature for both was perfect. We did not utilize the hotel's bar (located next to the breakfast area).
FWIW-there was an area-wide power blackout the morning we left the property which was not the fault of the property itself; all of the "fire doors" were closed in the hallways and there was no electricity in the hotel (and the surrounding Mesa area)--always remember to have a travel alarm clock in case this happens to you. We were able to easily navigate through the hallways to get to the ground floor and make our flight (we had been minutes from checking out from our visit when the outage occurred, so it did not matter to us). I only mention this because I do not know if this is a common Mesa-area occurrence or not, and those who would have needed a 7:30 a.m. wake-up call might not have gotten it due to the circumstances).
