Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Mesa, AZ United States

Mesa Getaway: Unwind at the BEST Country Inn & Suites!

Mesa Getaway: Unwind at the BEST Country Inn & Suites! - A Review from a Real Person (and a Touch of Chaos)

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (or maybe the complimentary coffee, which, spoiler alert, was good) on Mesa Getaway. This isn't your perfectly polished, corporate-speak review. This is real. I'm talking about honest-to-goodness, "I just spent a weekend there and here's the lowdown" kind of deal.

First Impressions (and the Accessibility Angle)

Right off the bat, let me say, accessibility is a BIG deal to me. I travel with… well, let's just say I appreciate a smooth entrance. Mesa Getaway? Check. Wheelchair Accessible. (Okay, maybe not a huge "check," but they've definitely put some thought into it. Elevator? Check. And the exterior? Surprisingly easy to navigate. They get a gold star for that, for real). Now, I didn't personally need a lot of accommodation, but seeing the effort they put in gave me serious peace of mind. Accessibility? 👍👍 (Two thumbs up!)

The Good Stuff: Relaxing and Rejuvenating (or at Least Trying To!)

Let's talk about why you're really going to Mesa Getaway: Relaxation!

Pool with a View? Yep! The outdoor pool was calling my name. I swear, I spent half my vacation draped in a pool-side chaise lounge. They’ve got a good view.
Spa/Sauna: I'm a sucker for a good sauna. Now, I didn't get to the level of Body scrubs and Body wraps this time 'round (maybe next time, ambition!), but knowing they had them? Pure bliss.
Gym/Fitness: I'm not a gym rat, but I did peep in from the outside. It looked well-equipped, and hey, a fitness center is always a bonus.
Massage: Sadly, I ran out of time (or budget!) for a massage, but… the potential? Oh, the potential!

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - The Essential Stuff

Alright, time for the tough questions. Because, let's be honest, vacation is basically a license to eat.

Restaurants and Bars: The poolside bar! I spent so much time there. They had some basic bar snacks.
Breakfast: Now, the Breakfast [buffet] was… decent. A little standard, but what do I expect? But they had an option for an Asian breakfast, which was an interesting touch. Coffee/tea in restaurant was a 24/7 thing, which is pretty essential for me.
Restaurants: There are a bunch of great places around, but I didn't feel up to venturing out.

Cleanliness and Safety - Because, you Know, the World

Can't skip this. This is the era we live in. Mesa Getaway, Cleanliness and safety are taken seriously. Seeing Hand sanitizer everywhere was reassuring. They are also very serious about Physical distancing of at least 1 meter. They had Room sanitization opt-out available. They also have a bunch of other safety protocols, from Anti-viral cleaning products to Staff trained in safety protocol.

Living It Up In My Room - And The WiFi Saga

Okay, here’s where things get REAL. I’m an obsessive planner, and my room was my castle. And this is where some of the small cracks start to show, but hey, it's life, right?

The Room: The Air conditioning was amazing. Thank heavens. I also dug the Coffee/tea maker and Free bottled water. The blackout curtains were a GODSEND because I'm a terrible sleeper. I also appreciated how quiet the room was.
Internet Access: Wi-Fi [free]. And, drumroll…. Surprisingly good! I managed to get some work done (don't judge!) and stream a movie without the dreaded buffering. Success!

The Quirks, The Imperfections, and The Little Things

For the kids: They had some kids facilities. So, if you are with your kids, they are prepared
Pets allowed: I have no pets
Smoking area: I don't smoke. But…
Facilities for disabled guests: They also have a bunch of things to help for people with disabilities.

Final Verdict and (Drumroll Please!) My Hot Take

Mesa Getaway isn't perfect. But what is? It's a solid choice for a relaxing weekend. If you're looking for a chill escape with easy accessibility, decent food, comfortable rooms, and a pool to die for, I say go for it!

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into my potential disaster-slash-triumph of a trip to Mesa, Arizona, and more specifically, the glorious, slightly questionable, probably-needs-a-new-carpet-but-still-charming Country Inn & Suites by Radisson.

The Great Mesa Mishap: A Stream-of-Consciousness Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread (aka, the "Just Get Me to the Pool" Phase)

1:00 PM: ARRIVAL. Fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor. Ugh, airports. Why are they always a masterclass in sensory overload? Bright lights, screaming kids, that weird pre-packaged sandwich smell… Anyway, fighting the urge to buy a ridiculously overpriced neck pillow, I make my way to the rental car. Praying it's not a clunker. Please, Universe, give me a car with functioning AC.
2:30 PM: Rental Car Debacle, or "The Great GPS Betrayal". Turns out, the rental car is a clunker (okay, maybe it just feels that way after the flight). The GPS, bless its digital heart, seems to be permanently lost. End up taking the scenic route, cursing under my breath and admiring the desert landscape (which is pretty, I won't lie).
3:30 PM: Arrive at Country Inn & Suites. The outside is…well, it’s there. The lobby is surprisingly decent, with a kind-of-cheesy Southwest theme. Check-in is smooth. Bonus points for the complimentary cookies! (These cookies saved my life, I swear to god, after the GPS experience)
4:00 PM: Room Reconnaissance. Okay, here’s the truth: the room is…fine. Cleanish. The bed looks inviting, and the air conditioning is actually working. That's a win. But is that…a stain on the carpet? Ignoring it. Gotta embrace the slightly-worn charm.
4:30 PM: The Pool! Okay, this is what I came for. The air is hot, the sun is baking, and the pool looks…decent. Jump in, and let out a sigh of pure, unadulterated bliss that mixes with the chlorine. I could stay here forever. This is the highlight. This is where I belong.
6:00 PM: Dinner at…someplace. I haven't decided. Yelp is my friend. Maybe a local diner? Or, let's be honest, probably whatever's easiest to access and doesn't require a lot of thought after the travel day. Probably too tired to care.
7:30 PM: The Hotel Bar (If it exists). A quick drink. This could be good…or a truly awful experience.
9:00 PM: Existential Crisis in Front of the TV - I probably watch some mindless TV and wonder, as always, what I'm doing with my life.

Day 2: Desert Dreams and Cultural Chaos

7:00 am: Wake Up, Regret. The desert sun is already blazing through the slightly-too-thin curtains. Breakfast at the hotel. (Free, so I will not complain)
8:00 AM: The Desert Botanical Garden. Okay, this is actually pretty spectacular. The cacti are enormous, the flowers are vibrant, and I temporarily forget that I'm sweating like a garden hose in July. Take about a million pictures. Get slightly sunburned.
11:00 AM: Another pool session. Because, let's be real, that’s what I want.
12:30 PM: Lunch! A local place. I’m going for authentic cuisine, hopefully.
2:00 PM: Exploring Downtown Mesa - Discovering random shops, feeling the pulse of a new part of town, and maybe getting a bit lost. This could go really well or horribly wrong.
4:00 PM: A Late-Night Snack/Early Dinner - Probably a burger (because that’s just me) at a place the locals rave about. Try to act like a local, which might be harder than I think it is
6:00 PM: Stargazing (If I can find a good spot). The Arizona night sky is supposed to be phenomenal. Fingers crossed for clear skies and zero light pollution. Maybe I meet aliens!
8:00 PM: Crash. Sleep. Repeat.

Day 3: The Messy Middle and Departure (or, "Trying to Pretend I'm Cultured")

Morning: Maybe a museum? The idea is appealing in theory, but the reality of dragging myself out of bed might be a different story.
Afternoon: Souvenir Shopping. I need to find something to bring back home. Preferably something that screams, "I went to the desert!" but doesn't involve a live scorpion.
Evening: The Big Meal - Is there a specific restaurant on my radar? Maybe something fancy (for a change). Need to make reservations in advance.
Late Night: One last pool visit, because I need to soak up the last of the heat.

Day 4: Goodbye, Mesa (and a New Appreciation for AC)

Morning: One last breakfast at the hotel. Say a mournful goodbye to the surprisingly-decent free coffee.
Check out and drive back to the airport. The rental car might make it by this point.
Flight home and the inevitable post-vacation blues.

Imperfections and Ramblings:

The Room: That stain on the carpet? It's still there. It's probably seen more exciting things than I have!
The Food: I will probably eat far too much fast food. I will also try to be adventurous and order something I've never had before, even if it's scary.
My Mood: Depends on the day. I'll probably swing from being a happy-go-lucky tourist to a grumpy, sleep-deprived grump.
The People: I'll chat with at least one friendly local. They'll probably tell me a desert joke that I won't understand. It's fine.
The Biggest Emotion?: Probably a huge, overwhelming sense of relief that I survived it all. And hey, maybe a new appreciation for air conditioning.

So there you have it: my overly honest, probably-over-planned, definitely-messy itinerary for a trip to Mesa. Wish me luck. Lord knows I'll need it.

Mesa Getaway: Ask Me Anything (Well, Mostly) About That Country Inn & Suites! 🌵

Okay, Spill the Beans! Was the Mesa Country Inn & Suites REALLY the "BEST"? 😬

Alright, alright, alright. "BEST" is a strong word, you know? Like, "best" BEST? Probably not *all*-time, world-wide, top-of-the-heap best. But for a quick getaway? A little slice of sanity in the desert? Yeah, it was pretty darn good. Look, I've seen some hotels, alright? Some that should be condemned faster than you can say "bed bugs." This place… it wasn't that. It was clean. It smelled faintly of chlorine and maybe, just maybe, a hint of desperation (you know, hotel air). And the free breakfast? Oh, the free breakfast… that's where things get interesting…

Let's Talk Breakfast. Seriously. What's the Deal with "Free Breakfasts"? 🤔

Okay, so free breakfasts are a gamble, right? Like, are you getting sad, pre-packaged pastries and lukewarm coffee, or are you hitting the jackpot? This one... it was a *solid* B+. There were those weird, individually-wrapped muffins that always taste like they’ve been sitting in a box since the Reagan administration. But there were also… wait for it… a waffle maker. A waffle maker, people!! I’m talking crispy-edged, golden-brown, slightly-misshapen waffles. I may have gone back for seconds… and thirds… and, okay, maybe a fourth out of pure shame and waffle-induced greed. The coffee? Standard hotel coffee. Drinkable. Could’ve used a shot of something stronger (that's a lie, I would've preferred a bottle of something stronger, probably a whiskey).

What about the Rooms? Cleanliness? Anything Creepy lurking under the bed? 😱

Thank God, no creepy bed monsters! The room… okay, here’s the honest truth: it wasn’t the Ritz. It *was* clean, though. And that's a huge win for me. Like, seriously, my standards aren't exactly high. I was prepared for dust bunnies and mysterious stains. But it was tidy, the bed was comfortable-ish, and the air conditioning worked. And after a long day of hiking and being mildly sunburned, that's all that really matters, right? The shower... eh, water pressure could have been better, but I survived. No regrets.

The Pool! Tell me about the Pool! Was it a Refreshing Oasis or a Cesspool of Chlorine? 🏊‍♀️

The pool… okay, here's a confession: I didn't actually *get in* the pool. I know, I know! What kind of a person goes to a hotel with a pool and doesn’t swim? Well, a person who's slightly terrified of public pools, that's who. But I did *look* at it. It looked clean. The water was that inviting, shimmering turquoise color. There were a bunch of people splashing around and having fun. And honestly, it looked pretty damn tempting, despite my inner germaphobe screaming. My biggest regret? Not bringing my pool noodles. I saw a kid with floaties and thought, "I could *totally* rock those," but alas… next time.

Location, Location, Location! Was it Near Anything Cool? 🗺️

Location? SPOT ON. It was perfect! Close enough to all the hiking I could possibly handle (and probably a little bit more – my legs were screaming the next day!). There were restaurants nearby, which was amazing because after a day of exploring, all I wanted was a giant burger and a comfortable booth. And the best part? The sunsets. Oh, the sunsets! Sitting outside, beer in hand (or, you know, a diet coke, if you're into that sort of thing), watching the desert sky explode with color… pure bliss. Actually, scratch that. The best part was probably avoiding the screaming toddler at the next table.

Okay, Let's Get Specific. Did Anything REALLY Go Wrong? 😅

Alright, here's where things get, well, human. Yeah, there was a small… ahem… incident. The key card. You know how key cards are always on the verge of betraying you? Well, mine did. Twice. I got locked out of my room on separate occasions. The first time, it was late, and I was exhausted. I trudged (literally, I was wearing sandals and my feet were killing me) all the way back to the front desk, feeling like a colossal idiot. The second time? I was practically vibrating with frustration. But the front desk staff were super nice about it and got me sorted out quickly. Annoying? Yes. Room-ruining? Nah. Life lesson: always carry your spare key card… I guess?

Would You Go Back? And, Seriously, Be Honest. 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely. Without a doubt. I'd go back in a heartbeat (maybe with a key card that *actually* works). It wasn’t perfect, but it was comfortable, convenient, and the kind of place that makes you feel… well, kind of okay about life. And the waffles. Did I mention the waffles?

So, The Ultimate Question: What's Your Overall Vibe Check? 💯

Look, if you're expecting a five-star experience, you're in the wrong place. But if you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and conveniently located basecamp for your desert adventures…yeah. Go. Book it. Eat the waffles. And for the love of all that is holy, remember your spare key card. You won't regret it... probably. Okay, I'll stop rambling now. 🌵
