Breakfast was fresh and staff kept it clean and filled. We stay here twice yearly while snow birding to Arizona from Washington. Carpets in hall doorways shows wear as does wallpaper in room. Love the security as I feel safe. Staff is friendly and helpful. Thank you and will be back again when heading back south.

The hotel is great for what we needed, a budget stay for overnight. The grounds are kept up well, the saguaro cacti are impressive! Evening staff was on point and very professional. Breakfast was better than expected, hot selections were well stocked, lots of seating. This is not a big chain hotel, so I felt like there was a bit more care from the staff. Dining for early in the day, we recommend Lola's Kitchen! Be sure to check the hours open to see if it fits in your schedule.
