Third stay here in a couple of months and just as consistently excellent as ever. Since I went…read moreinto so much detail in the previous two reviews, I'll keep this one brief:
OUTSTANDING service across the board - front desk, housekeeping, food/beverage
Comfortable and CLEAN room
Excellent and safe location
Just not gonna stay anywhere else in CG!

This is an update - Well, here we are a couple of weeks after our first stay at Best Western Plus Casa Grande Inn & Suites and having a great time again. You just cannot beat the level of service here. We're treated SO well. Welcomed warmly, listened to, accommodated, it's all great. Not even just the front desk staff (Pam and Elizabeth, the manager, are totally awesome), but seriously every single staff member I interacted with was helpful and welcoming.
This time in a suite instead of standard king. Great room. Really spacious. CLEAN and fresh. Great location. Safe. Easy parking and easy access (low curb for luggage, wide doors, etc.). Good breakfast buffet - plenty of selection including gluten-free options, not only pretty good food but good coffee and not only do they offer decaf, but it's GOOD decaf. And that's just the coffee in the breakfast room - there's a cool espresso machine in the lobby/dining area. Great water pressure again, good A/C, plenty of USB outlets, a nice couch and second television in the suite.
I just don't see staying anywhere else in Casa Grande. And we won't. We'll continue returning here.

We've barely been here 24 hours but there already quite a few things we love about this Best Western Plus Casa Grande Inn & Suites.
I gotta start out by highlighting the amazing, outstanding service. I had to call a few days ahead of time to clarify a detail, and I'm pretty sure - in retrospect, having now met her in person, that it was Pam who handled my call, because she was pleasant and personable. Plus I called ahead the day of check-in to see if we could check in a little early and she accommodated the request cheerfully, and she turned out to be the one who checked us in. She was warm and welcoming, and the check-in experience was flawless.
And I had several interactions with her after check in, each one pleasant and helpful. But even housekeeping (you heard me - yes, housekeeping, and we're only here for two nights) staff were friendly and helpful. I returned to the room to find housekeeping finishing up the room, no big deal, so I went downstairs to hang out in the lobby and planned to go back up in 10-15 minutes to see if the room was finished. Not FIVE minutes later, Pam comes over to let me know that the room was ready. Housekeeper called her to let her know, and she let ME know, in turn. WOW! Who does that? That is knock-your-socks-off service!
Now, the details.
- Hotel overall and the room itself are clean and even fresh-smelling.
- USB outlets at the bedside and one on the work desk
- strong WiFi
- Free parking
- Great location (not only central but nicer area that feels safe)
- Complimentary breakfast
- Cool espresso machine in the lobby
- Spacious room
- Excellent water pressure in the shower (and sink)
- Not only a microwave, but a virtually full size refrigerator - MUCH bigger than the standard mini-fridge. And colder. You can comfortably store food/leftovers and beverages in it.
- Cool window blinds
- Air conditioning worked really well
Areas for improvement - just one for me, and this is personal preference; the mattress was a little soft for me, and the pillows a little small, so the mattress slid out away from the headboard as I sat up to watch TV a couple of times. Not the end of the world, but a minor inconvenience.
We will absolutely stay here again when visiting Casa Grande.
