Top hotels in The Mesa
Indian Wells Resort Hotel
Solid, clean, and well-located (for my purpose) hotel. Definitely ask for a top-floor room to avoid hearing footsteps above, and check your AC unit as mine was loud. Very dim lighting in the room, but overall a positive experience I'd repeat

The Dunes Hotel
Overall the room was clean and the beds were comfortable there was no closet and no dresser so storage was really hard basically you lived out of your suitcase if you were just there for the night that would be perfect but for the weekend for an event you're living out of your suitcase

The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa
Loved loved loved the amenities and grounds! Restaurant and lounge were good. The cleanliness around the pools was not well maintained. The hot tubs were gross. Trash, bugs and debris floating in them. They need to be cleaned a few times a day.
