Days Hotel by Wyndham Mesa Near Phoenix

"We stayed here the first night of our AZ road trip (July 2023) after flying in from PA. Hotel is located near plenty of stores and restaurants. The hotel was clean. Mini fridge and microwave were in the room we stayed in. Grab and go breakfast (like muffins, yogurts, granola bars, coffee and juice, etc) were available daily."

"We checked in Feb 1st late night. The guy with the long dark hair at the front desk was friendly and helpful. Everything was great. The only reason I took off one star was because the microwave had a long black hair in it with crumbs."

"This hotel feels like lipstick on a pig. Attempts to dress up an older hotel with some recent updates, mostly in the lobby. Our room was mostly clean (but strands of hair on the towels) with soft but comfy beds, a mini fridge, and microwave. The bathroom was very small and aging, with an incredibly loud fan and a light switch that was punched out. You can hear other guests in the hallway but fortunately, the hotel didn't seem busy on this weekday night. I mostly booked this hotel for the pool & free breakfast. First the breakfast -- fortunately, the previous grab & go breakfast (that previously existed during pandemic times) has been replaced with a proper hot breakfast. The food is mediocre; mostly all pre-prepared. The pool courtyard looks nice with towering palms. If you enjoy polar bear dipping like I do, you'll love this pool! To be clear, it's unheated and ice cold. I went in but no one else in my family was brave enough. The hot tub was not much warmer than bath water. The jets are barely on and the tiling is in dire need of repair. It was also filthy with piles of dirt in the corners. The fitness room is small but serviceable with almost a dozen fitness equipment items. This is a nice addition if you like to use the gym while you travel. Be careful with the pool gate around young kids; it's quite heavy and will slam shut - it landed on the back of my foot as I left. Ouch! All in all, this "hotel" could benefit from some extra care and attention. It was definitely overpriced for what we paid and experienced."

"I wanted to give five stars but five stars mean perfect so I could not in all honesty give that kind of rating. However, this is a great hotel. Yes, it is not the Ritz, but it doesn't pretend to be. The important things are there: large clean rooms, good internet connection, clean common areas, nice amenities and a very reasonable price. And...they are pet friendly! They do charge a $25 fee which compared to some hotels is fair, but my personal belief is there shouldn't be any fee if the room is left clean. But, I digress. There were some tiny, minor things that could be improve upon: outside door to the hallway was not locked so that is a security problem; poor lighting in the room, and a more comfortable pet area would have been nice (the gravel is far too large and it hurts dogs' paws.) I will the review but saying this hotel far exceeded my expectations and I would gladly return in the future. Highly recommend!"
