Last time I was in Mesa I stayed at a Best Western and didn't have the best experience. I figured I'd try a new hotel based upon reviews. So I booked this hotel thru Verizon using my Verizon Reward points. I stayed 3 nights and it was very quiet and peaceful. There's no loud air conditioner to have to deal with. There's 7 room levels and I was on an upper one with such a beautiful view of the mountains and scenery! The rooms are very clean and well kept by the staff. The front desk is very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and pleasent to deal with. There's restaurants and other hotels in the vicinity within walking distance. It's located across the street from the Mesa police department fiesta district so there's a peace of mind regarding safety. It is near Superstition FWY 60. It appears that the majority of the rooms are non smoking and they do allow small pets. while speaking with front desk I found I was eligible for La Quinta Returns program regardless that I booked thru a 3rd party (Verizon uses priceline). But La Quinta will discontinue doing this after 2014 is over. So I'm glad I can earn reward points on this stay and be a member (free program, no fee). I was also informed that DDR rooms have refrigerators at an additional expense. When you walk in the room there are 3 other doors in a row, do not let this confuse you. This is something I was not aware of as well and that's why I'm giving a 4/5 star rating.
Oh and the free continental breakfest it's basic eggs, coffee, juice, water, muffins, fresh fruit, bread, waffles, cereal. Nothing too fancy.
