8.4/10 Very Good! (130 reviews)

Spacious condo in timeshare resort. Staff was efficient and friendly. Grounds were clean. Units themselves are pretty dated and look like they were furnished in the 70s. Better than staying at a mid range hotel in the area for the money.

This was my third stay at Westgate Painted Mountain in Mesa Arizona and I'm planning another stay here in a couple of months. I absolutely love the place. The facility is beyond any expectations and the staff are incomparable. The manager, Esteban, reflects the great customer service that Westgate is known for as do all of his staff! I would recommend this place in a heartbeat to anyone traveling to the Mesa area
