In our last spring training trip to Arizona, we hopped around at different hotels to get a feel for the area. The Hampton Inn in Surprise was the one we wish we'd booked for the whole trip.
This hotel is very new and clean, and it's close to the Rangers/Royals complex in Surprise. The other Spring Training sites are a bit of a drive, but this hotel was nice enough to make it worth a few extra minutes. The outdoor pool was a hit with our son, and I appreciated its shaded patio area. The TV had a wide selection of cable channels plus the usual PPV choices.
I was pleasantly surprised to get a free one-drink manager's reception in the evening. Coffee and hot tea were available any time. Breakfast included hot omelets and a nice variety of cold alternatives. There are a lot of stores and restaurants within a short drive, and there's a wine bar adjacent to the hotel.
I found this place very relaxing, and I think I'd enjoy a longer stay here next time.
