We came to Arizona for our nephews graduation from Mesa High, I knew nothing about the area and neither did our nephew, so I kinda just went off yelp reviews and hotels.com reviews. I was a little worried after reading a lot of the reviews, but I knew things, it wasn't in the "bad part of Mesa" and it was a good decent price.
We drove from Sacramento, Ca to Arizona in one day and upon arrival the front desk was very friendly and helpful to get us comfortable after the 12 hour drive. We booked the 2 queen bed room because it was cheaper than the single king bed and you know what? It was very spacious! The room had a closet, which you almost never find in a hotel, large bathroom, desk, flat screen TV, I mean really there wasn't much to complain about. I guess our only complaint was that the walls are very thin, our neighbors were there for some kind of celebration and you could hear them running around all day, but other than that the room was great and had comfy beds.
Lastly, the continental breakfast was amazing! Had everything a usual continental breakfast would have, cereal, coffee, juice, pastries, and then it also had waffles, bagels, toast, boiled eggs, and fruit. They had a nice outdoor patio area where I would go and enjoy the cooler Arizona mornings with my coffee. If we ever had to come back we would definitely stay here again.
