Hotels near Creative Destination, Mesa

The room is spacious and well-equipped, the breakfast is rich, the service staff is good, and the location is good

Located in the heart of Tempe, the hotel is easy to find on the main road and has convenient transportation. There are many shops, restaurants and bars within the vicinity. The service staff is very good, with car rental service, free parking, free airport shuttle bus. The rooms are large, the decoration and facilities are very good. The price is relatively moderate and the price is super good. It is a good choice for traveling abroad.

As a perennial Choice Privileges Platinum/Diamond member who has stayed hundreds of nights in various Choice hotels, this was my first experience in a Cambria Hotel, and these are my impressions of our 2-night stay. The price per night was higher than the Comfort Inns and Comfort Suites that we normally stay at, so was the higher price worth it? There are pros and cons. The hotel itself is clean, classy, and impressive, with a large lobby, bar, and restaurant. The rooms are nicely furnished, with modern platform beds, microwave, mini-fridge, sofa, large desk, Keurig coffeemaker, large-screen TV, and a nice little table on wheels that is great for a laptop computer. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, especially Candace at the front desk and Randy in Housekeeping. Coffee in the lobby is complimentary; however, breakfast is not free and the choice is very limited. Dinner is also available, but the menu is also very limited. The lobby bar also serves as the breakfast counter, although there are dining tables available as well. Snacks and other items are available for purchase in the lobby. The hotel itself is located at the corner of a large, busy intersection at the entrance to a big shopping mall. While there are tons of stores and restaurants within walking distance, our 3rd floor room overlooked the intersection, and it was quite noisy. The pool area is very nice; however, it is directly adjacent to the intersection and also very noisy. There were a few minor maintenance issues in our room… the recessed ceiling light above the coffeemaker didn’t work, and the access door to the microwave and mini-fridge didn’t close properly. The glass desk surface is not compatible with an optical computer mouse unless a sheet of paper or other material is placed on the surface. The backlit bathroom mirror is very impressive; however, the lighting is not quite adequate for makeup or shaving. The large-screen TV is mounted right over the desk, and it is difficult to work at the desk if someone else is watching TV with the volume turned up, since your head is about a foot from the TV and the speakers. In the bathroom, the toilet paper holder is mounted in an awkward location, and the sliding shower door appears to have been installed incorrectly, so that if the shower head is directed on the shower glass, the water will be funneled onto the bathroom floor. The wi-fi internet speed is among the fastest I have ever experienced in a hotel… about 100Mbps/second download and upload speeds. There is some very cool accent lighting in the rooms, but the platform beds have wooden corners that are easy to bump your shins on if you are not careful. Overall, this is a more upscale hotel in a convenient location with a great staff, but it does have a few quirks and inconveniences. Was it worth paying 40% or 50% more than at Comfort Suites? It may be for some, but probably not for us.

Very convenient!

I called before hand to see if there were any additional fees, I was informed by the receptionist over the phone that it would be a 150 resort fee. When I arrived I was informed by the receptionist that it would be a 950 dollar incidental fee.

Everything was fine. It's the closest hotel to the Gateway Airport. Ideal for an early flight. Very clean. Modern and cheerful decor. Employees were friendly. Only problem was that due to a wind storm, the pool was closed because it was full of dirt. Sad because it was so dang hot.

We were here for a business meeting. Our room was nice, clean and had everything that we needed. The gardens are well kept and the area is easily walkable. The room had a fridge, safe and microwave. The bed was comfy and there was a nice leather chair and ottoman to use. My Only complaint would be that there was trash sitting in front of our room when we arrived (5:00 pm) and was still there until afternoon the next day. Each day there were sugar and creamer packets and coffee cup lids on the grounds in many places throughout the resort. We had a few receptions and the staff could not have been any more attentive. They did an amazing job serving drinks and food. They were on top of the cleanup also. Job well done. We did have a pre-order luncheon one day also. That meal did not seem as well executed. It took over 45 minutes to be served our meals. The resort has some restaurants across the street that were walkable. The mall and Old Town Scottsdale are nearby also.
