BEST WESTERN PLUS CHANDLER HOTEL & SUITES, Chandler

The hotel sits at the junction of I-10 and the 202 Loop, making it a strategic base for exploring the greater Phoenix area. Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is 34 km away, and downtown Phoenix attractions such as the Convention Center and Copper Square are 27 km away. Wild Horse Pass Casino is directly across the interstate, and Firebird International Raceway is about 3 km from the property. Sea Life Arizona Aquarium is 13 km away, and outdoor destinations like Papago Park and Desert Botanical Garden are within a short drive. A Love's truck stop with fuel, an Arby's, and a McDonald's are immediately adjacent, while more shopping and dining options are 2 km away. For car-free travel, the location is best suited for those with their own vehicle, as public transit is limited.

Accommodation options include double rooms (one bed), quadruple rooms (two beds), and suites with two or three beds. Many suites feature a full kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, tea and coffee maker, cookware, and utensils, along with a separate living area and work desk. Standard rooms include a mini refrigerator and basic amenities but lack the full kitchen. Rooms are generally spacious with high ceilings in some suites, but some furnishings show signs of wear, with reports of stained carpets and dated decor. The air conditioning unit can be loud in certain rooms. Key card access may malfunction and require resetting at the front desk. For families, suites with sofa beds are available, but the pull-out mattresses are often uncomfortable. Rooms facing the freeway may experience more noise, while those on the opposite side are quieter, especially with the A/C running.

The free breakfast includes eggs, potatoes, a breakfast meat (such as sausage or bacon), cereals, waffles, yogurt, fruit, juices, and coffee. A latte/cappuccino machine is also available. Breakfast is served with disposable plates and cutlery. While the breakfast is generally well-regarded for a complimentary offering, the selection can be limited on some days, with occasional reports of processed items and less appealing eggs. For those wanting a wider variety or who miss breakfast hours (after 9:00 AM), there are fast-food options within walking distance, including McDonald's and Arby's, and more restaurants 2 km away. There is no on-site restaurant or bar.

The indoor pool is heated, but the water temperature has been noted as cool at times, and the pool area can be chilly as cold air blows in. Pool towels may not always be available at the front desk. A small, gated outdoor area adjacent to the pool provides lounge chairs and barbecue grills for guest use, though cleanliness of this area has varied. The fitness centre includes treadmills, ellipticals, and a cable weight station with bench and pull-up bar; it can feel cramped when busy and has a musty odour due to lack of windows. The gym was reported closed for maintenance on some occasions. Sun loungers and sun umbrellas are also available. Overall, the leisure facilities are functional for short stays and families but may not meet expectations for a full wellness experience.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. The 24-hour front desk offers safety deposit boxes, and express check-in/out is available. A business centre with free fax/photocopying is on site, along with meeting/banquet facilities (additional charge). Laundry and dry cleaning services are offered for a fee, but daily housekeeping is only provided upon request for longer stays. The property has accessible parking, an electric vehicle charging station (requires the Blink app), and wheelchair-accessible rooms with features like grab rails, raised toilets, and lower bathroom sinks. A minimarket is on site, and a vending machine for drinks is available. The hotel has two elevators, but one has been known to be out of service at times. Staff are generally friendly, though response times at the front desk can vary during busy periods.
