This location is a newer hotel on top of the ridge with great views north off exit 120. Staff is friendly and attentive, rooms clean and large, especially the 4th floor with a vaulted ceiling. Some suites have balconies for getting fresh air and taking in the views. The room had a microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine, desk and free wireless internet.

Breakfast is your standard fare done well with eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, make your own waffles, bagels, toast, cereal, muffins, amd coffee. No OJ or fruit though.

This hotel is not right next to the casinos but only 2 minutes away by car and the town has zero traffic. Super close to all the golf courses especially the new highly anticipated Conestoga Golf Club.

Hotel had two conferences going on as well and the guests that I spoke with really enjoyed the atmosphere and setting.

We have stayed in every lodging destination in Mesquite and by far this is our favorite. This particular visit...I telephoned the manager, Patty Brown, who I have always admired as a friendly, caring, hard working , hands on manager. I wanted to get the best rate for my 5 couple friends, and she did everything possible, looked into golf packages for us and gave us a great competitive rate. The rooms are very nice, the suites beautiful with balconies. They will accommodate pets on the first floor one wing,(See what you get if you take a pet to the Virgin River! Hold your nose and don't take off your shoes in that wing..) Falcon Ridge has e a top notch hot breakfast. No gaming, but minutes to all casinos, so it is relaxing, peaceful, great views on top of the knoll, and quiet. I will and have recommended this hotel to everyone I know with travel plans through or to Mesquite.

Located high on a ridge west of I-5, with a fine view of Mesquite, Falcon Ridge is probably the nicest property in that town and in a class of its own. It's "competitors" are the casinos and older, "mom and pop" local motels.

Although it's in the desert, the hotel has a 24-hour indoor pool and hot tub. The bad news is that they're located across from the check-in desk and you're visible to everyone in the lobby because of a sliding glass door.

Breakfast offerings are a bit above avergae, with scrambled eggs, "you-make-'em" waffles, biscuits, bagels, cereals, muffins, etc. along with the standard beverages and some high end tea bags in a variety of flavors.

Rooms are very comfortable and probably the largest you'll find in town except for a casino suite if you're a high roller. Big screen TV (ours was LCD), microwave, and small refrigerator are standard.

There's a computer in the lobby for Internet access if you don't have a laptop.

There's a commercial area just before the hotel which you have to pass through to get to it. There you'll find a Wal-Mart and some "fast food' dining options, although the casinos have the better deals.

My "value" rating considers what you'd pay for a Mesquite casino hotel room on a weekend and what you'd get for that based on a stay at Oasis before it closed. You'll get much more at Falcon Ridge for probably the same price. Weekdays are a different story.

The Falcon Ridge Hotel continued our run of bad luck with hotels in Mesquite. The first room that we were given was not clean - stains on the bed sheets and a dirty toilet. Once we complained they apologized and moved us to another room, which was clean. The pool was small and dirty. We could never get the air conditioning unit (it was not central air) to work well, it was loud even on low and the auto setting just kept blowing out cold air. It was almost impossible to sleep with it on. I had to keep getting up to turn it off and on throughout the night. At 3 o’clock in the morning we decided driving on I15 to get home was a better place to be than trying to tough it out in the room.

One good thing - the room was large and had two TVs.

Based on our experience, drive as fast as you can past Mesquite and stay in St. George or Las Vegas.
