Residence Inn

Built for extended stays and repeatable routines, Residence Inn by Marriott Phoenix Mesa East is an all-suite property that gives teams more breathing room than a standard hotel room. Every suite is designed around a kitchen and a living area, which makes the hotel a strong pick when you are traveling with players, coaches, and families who need space for gear, snacks, and a real nightly reset.

Teams playing at Arizona Athletic Grounds will appreciate the short drive to the complex, about 6.1 miles from the hotel. That distance keeps you close enough for early warmups and tight game schedules, while still placing the group near everyday essentials in East Mesa. Instead of burning time on long commutes, you can focus on consistency, get back to the hotel, recover, and be ready for the next match.

Morning logistics are usually where group trips either stay smooth or start to fray. A Residence Inn setup supports quick departures with breakfast on site, plus suites that make it easy to prep extra food for athletes who eat on a different schedule than everyone else. Refrigerators, freezer space, and a full kitchen layout help teams stock hydration, fruit, and recovery snacks without relying on late-night convenience runs.

Between games, the suite layout helps people spread out and keep the room functional. One group can review schedules in the living area while others rest, and families can keep things organized without turning the beds into the only seating. Laundry access is another practical benefit for sports travel, especially when uniforms, practice gear, and swim items start to pile up over a multi-day tournament.

Engine.com supports the booking process by organizing the room block, keeping the rooming list clean, and handling changes when headcount shifts. If your group wants a single payment workflow rather than collecting cards from every traveler, Direct Bill through Engine.com can also centralize billing across the block.
