Built in 1979 in a peaceful residential neighborhood, this unpretentious Mesa resort (home of the Chicago Cubs during spring training) offers casual comfort in the shade of mature trees. Business travelers appreciate complimentary business services in the Best Western's serene, Southwestern-style lobby, and vacationing families are attracted to the large swimming pool.

This low-key Dobson Ranch Inn features two spa tubs, a heated pool, and a small fitness center. Among the complimentary perks are a welcoming token for a free cocktail and use of the lobby computer, as well as faxing and copying.

Added Value: The hotel offers a complimentary full breakfast every morning.
