Near Red Mountain park - Double Room
Guest rating: 3.7 / 5
Overview
Near Red Mountain park is a private double room accommodation in Mesa, Arizona, situated in a residential setting rather than a traditional hotel building. It is positioned roughly 25 miles from downtown Phoenix landmarks such as the Phoenix Convention Center and Copper Square, and about 18-19 miles from attractions including the Hall of Flame Firefighting Museum, Phoenix Zoo, and Papago Park. This makes it a budget-oriented base for travelers exploring the East Valley rather than downtown Phoenix.
Room
The double room includes one bed, air conditioning, and a tea and coffee maker, along with a kitchen and microwave for self-catering. Guests share a bathroom with a shower rather than having a private en-suite. The unit is smoke-free and includes cable TV for in-room entertainment.
Amenities
On-site conveniences include free parking, an elevator, and a crib for traveling families with infants. The kitchen and microwave allow guests to prepare their own meals, which suits longer stays or travelers wanting to save on dining costs.
Location & Surroundings
Two bus stops, Sossaman Rd & University Dr and University Dr & 75th St, sit within roughly a kilometer, offering local public transit options. A cluster of dining choices is within a few kilometers, including Local Legends Bar & Grill, JJ Madisons All American Grill, Lucky Lou's, Oregano's, and Scarpetta on the Green, covering American, Italian, and bar-and-grill fare. Mesa Gateway Airport is about 12.7 km away and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport about 32.8 km away, giving guests a choice of air access points.
Best for
This property suits budget-conscious travelers and short-term visitors who want kitchen facilities and free parking rather than full hotel services. It can work for road-trippers using Mesa Gateway Airport, given its closer 12.7 km proximity compared to Sky Harbor, and for those content with a shared bathroom in exchange for lower cost.
Travel tips
A car is recommended since the room is roughly 18-25 miles from major Phoenix attractions like Papago Park and the Phoenix Zoo, though two bus stops within about a kilometer offer some local transit. Mesa Gateway Airport is the nearer airport at about 12.7 km, making it a more convenient arrival point than Sky Harbor for guests without a vehicle. Confirm check-in and occupancy details directly with the host in advance, as past guests have noted unexpected shared-living arrangements.
What guests say
With only a handful of reviews, feedback is limited, but a recurring concern involves guests being unaware that the rental was shared with occupants already living on-site, leading to discomfort and a request to leave early. This same account also mentions difficulty obtaining a refund after departing due to that issue. No positive themes were specified in the available excerpts, so the overall rating reflects a mixed guest experience centered on transparency about occupancy and booking terms.
