Best Mesa Hotels with a Pool
Mesa lies on the east side of the Phoenix area, in the Sonoran Desert, where a hotel pool is close to essential for much of the year. Almost every hotel here pairs its outdoor pool with a hot tub, so the differences lie elsewhere: Hyatt Place Phoenix/Mesa adds a 14-person hot tub and a 9-hole putting green, SureStay Plus by Best Western Mesa Superstition Springs heats its pool for cooler winter evenings, and Courtyard by Marriott sits in Wrigleyville West, the area around the Chicago Cubs' spring training ballpark. This page sorts the options by area and by what comes with the pool.
Mesa is the third-largest city in Arizona, on the eastern side of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Its downtown is built around Main Street and the Mesa Arts Center, the Salt River and the Usery Mountains lie to the north, and the Superstition Mountains rise on the eastern horizon. Each spring, the city hosts Major League Baseball spring training, and its southeast is home to Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.
Desert pools, hot tubs and putting greens
Summer afternoons in Mesa regularly pass 40 °C, and even in spring the sun is strong, so a pool and some shade are what make the end of a day comfortable. In winter, the days are mild but desert nights turn cool, which is when a heated pool or a hot tub earns its place. Since most visitors come for spring training, golf, the Superstition Mountains or business, the hotel pool is usually the main way to cool off.
Hyatt Place Phoenix/Mesa has the most complete pool area on this page. Beyond its outdoor pool, it offers a hot tub large enough for 14 people and a 9-hole putting green, along with dining options through the day and pet-friendly rooms. With an 8.9 rating from almost 900 reviews, it is also among the best-rated hotels here. If you are in Mesa for golf or simply want more than a pool and a few loungers, this is where I would book first, especially in the cooler months when the putting green is pleasant to use.
For a winter stay, the heated pool matters more than it seems. SureStay Plus by Best Western Mesa Superstition Springs is the hotel on this list that heats its outdoor pool, which also has a hot tub, and it serves a free hot breakfast buffet. With almost 1,700 reviews it is the most reviewed hotel on the page, and it sits by the Superstition Springs shopping centre in the east of the city. Best Western Superstition Springs Inn, nearby, offers a year-round outdoor pool and a hot tub at a simpler level for a lower-key stay. For a January trip, the heated pool makes SureStay Plus the safest choice on this page.
Spring training shapes Mesa in February and March, and two pool hotels are well placed for it. Courtyard by Marriott Mesa at Wrigleyville West, rated 8.8, has a year-round outdoor pool, a hot tub and a family-friendly restaurant in the district around the Cubs' ballpark. Spark by Hilton Phoenix East Mesa, rated 8.6, adds breakfast to its pool and hot tub. Downtown, Super 8 by Wyndham Mesa Downtown is close to the Convention Center, with a pool, a hot tub and pet-friendly rooms. During the season, I would book these well ahead, as the ballparks draw large crowds.
Families and airport travellers have their own choices. Home2 Suites By Hilton Mesa Longbow, rated 9.4, is the best-rated hotel on this page, with a year-round outdoor pool, a sun terrace, breakfast and pet-friendly rooms. Delta Hotels by Marriott Phoenix Mesa adds family rooms, a hot tub and an outdoor fireplace by its pool, and DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix Mesa offers family rooms with balconies. Near Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, Four Points by Sheraton has an outdoor pool, while Country Inn & Suites by Radisson runs a free airport shuttle and local shuttles.
A traveler's perspectiveI would decide by the season first. For a summer trip, any pool here helps, but I would favour one with a sun terrace and shade, such as Home2 Suites Mesa Longbow. For a winter or spring stay, I would choose SureStay Plus Superstition Springs for its heated pool, or Hyatt Place Phoenix/Mesa for its large hot tub and putting green. If you are coming for spring training, Courtyard by Marriott Mesa at Wrigleyville West saves you a drive to the Cubs' ballpark.
