Hotels Near Speedway in Sierra Vista

Actually, our rating is very close to a 5 because everything was great except for the very hard mattress, the thin bedding (it was a chilly night) and the cold bacon at breakfast. The property is very clean from the inside out, the 24/7 pool and jacuzzi area (although closed for cleaning while we were there) is nice; and as others have remarked previously, the rooms are spacious and are equipped with a small kitchenette. The Happy Hour was nice and didn't close until 9 pm (which was also a nice feature). In recognition of all the ”perks” here, we do plan to try another stay at Gateway Studio Suites when we find ourselves in Sierra Vista overnight. Hopefully, the bed linens will be thicker (especially if the night is chilly), that mattress a bit softer and hot (or at least warm) bacon at breakfast.

First, I have to mention the nightlight built into the bathroom mirror here. This feature is ingenious, and every hotel should install them. Despite staying at more than two hundred hotels all over the country and the world, I've seen this only twice elsewhere. And one of my pet peeves at hotels is no nightlight, because I'm either blinded by the bathroom light if I get up to use the facilities in the middle of the night, or I grope around in the dark in an unfamiliar room. Kudos to management for some intelligent, thoughtful planning in consideration of your guests. Check-in at dusk was fast and efficient, and we were assigned a room on the top floor, away from the elevators as requested, to facilitate a quiet stay. The view of the mountains from our room greatly enhanced our visit. Features I love about this hotel include: Wall-mounted toiletries dispensers - very eco friendly. Keurig coffee maker Extra spacious king room with a divan-style sofa in a cozy seating area Lots of counter space in the room and in the bathroom Tons of lighting, including lamps and wall sconces Fast wi-fi and plentiful electrical outlets for charging gadgets Necessary amenities - microwave, mini-refridge, iron/board, hair dryer, etc. Full size tub and phenomenal water pressure Ultra-comfy bed, as always in IHG brand hotels. Pillow choices, firm or soft Blackout blinds The outdoor pool/hot tub area is gorgeous, with an adjacent large patio where guests were congregating. I didn't notice if there was a gym on site. Complimentary breakfast is served from 6-9:30. Although we're organic eaters and mostly vegetarian, we checked to see if there was anything we consider edible. Fresh bananas and apples were offered. Hubby also found a veggie-eggwhite omelet (highly unusual), and I had a boiled egg. Otherwise, the menu was typical - breads, cereals, dairy, instant oatmeal, instant waffles, processed bakery items, pork, etc. But we don't expect better in this regard during our hotel stays. This overnight visit was near perfection. We did hear a smidge of hallway noise, but nothing woke us during the night. Oh, and one of the window panes in our room was defective with a permanent fog. Repair the window, maybe add a recycle bin, and add raw sugar to the in-room coffee service . . . there would be nothing left to improve. We'd definitely stay here again.

My wife and I are on a road trip from New York. We had booked a 'suite' four days in advance of our anticipated arrival in Sierra Vista, and reserved the room for four nights. This so-called 'suite' as advertised and as shown on our receipt was to contain, among other things, a kitchen, and a table with three chairs. After driving more than 2,500 miles over five days we were looking forward to relaxing and recouping for a short week. Check in time was 3:00 pm, and that was the time we arrived at the Towneplace Suites by Marriott. The room was not ready and so we waited an additional 45 minutes with no explanation or apology. When we finally saw the room we were appalled. A kitchen sink, stove, and refrigerator were jammed into a corner of a very small room. There was no table as advertised, nor was there room to put a table, let alone three chairs. Did I mention the room was very small? Barely room for two people to move around. If one were to use the kitchen area for preparing a meal there would be no place to eat it. I am a proud veteran and 'support our troops', however the government has booked many rooms in many hotels in Sierra Vista for the military who I assume are here to help with 'border security'. When I was in the service I dined in mess halls with hundreds of other service personnel. At this point in my life I'd prefer to dine with my wife in a quieter atmosphere. Towneplace Suites had assigned us a room on the first floor between two rooms occupied by soldiers. Not all that serene. Fortunately we did not get to stay at Towneplace Suites by Marriott. When we pointed out to the befuddled desk clerk that our room was not what we had booked, and produced a written receipt documenting that, confusion ensued. After a long period of whispered phone conversation, there was 'nothing' they could do to make it right except offer a free bottle of water. It was quite late by this time but we were extremely lucky to be able to book a residential suite at the nearby Candlewood Suites, a lovely, spacious place which we highly recommend over Towneplace. We will never go to a Towneplace Suites by Marriott again. Do they even know what the word 'suite' means?

Stay away! My husband booked this room without reading reviews. I don't know how anyone gave this place more than one star. I was traveling with three adult children on vacation. The first room they gave us had a buzzing noise and we knew we couldn't sleep with that noise so we unplugged the clock thinking that could have been it. When doing so we discovered leftover candy and wrappers under the table. Then we found mold on the shower and dead bugs in the drawers. We asked for another room. The second room had chips on the floor and we were there just long enough to see a live bug to know we weren't staying in the place. We went to tell them we were not staying there and wanted our money refunded. They had charged us $40 extra dollars at check in because I had four people in our double queen. I had paid that with my credit card at check in. My husband had booked the room through ******* and they told me I would have to contact ******* for a refund. I said, fine, but at least refund the $40 I just paid you because we aren't staying here. He said ”we used the room” and he couldn't refund the $40. I said, ”We didn't use the room. The first room was unacceptable so we asked for a new room..the second room we were there long enough to find it unacceptable but we didn't do anything in the room. Our bags were still packed.” All he said is, ”I don't care.” Do yourself a favor and save yourself the stress of going through a night like I did and go anywhere but this place!

We were in room 6-1/2 which is very tiny. There's barely room for the bed, dresser, an oversized rocking chair, and a couple of end tables. It was clean but shabby. The seat cushion on the chair is torn. The bedspread is patchwork and it's coming apart at the seams. The shower floor is peeling. And the shower is very claustrophobic. It is barely big enough to turn around in. The TV appears to be over the air and the picture pixilated badly. The sink did not drain well. I told the manager and he said he would pour some Draino down it. The oddest thing was, even though the sign said no vacancy, we never saw more than 2 cars in the lot including us. Maybe the owner is upgrading rooms or maybe he just forgot to change the sign. The pool was open but it was too cold to swim. The hot tub was not filled up.
