Breakfast was really good. Very convenient location. Room very nice. Loved the sliding door access to the parking lot, easy access as we forgot a few things.
If you are looking for a great budget hotel this is it. Nice room very clean. Close to restaurants and the free hot breakfast is about as good as it gets. Would absolutely stay there again.
Just stayed for a quick overnight stop. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was adequate and the price can't be beat.
Easy check-in, Friendly and efficient staff. Good breakfast. Clean room.

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.
This is a great place and an outstanding value. The breakfast is great and always has a special treat in the mix. The wi-fi is exceptional and the rooms are immaculate.
There wasn't any eggs available. Hotel was quiet. No fan in the bathroom, not enough shampoo or soap. Needs to be updated. It was on the same level as Motel 6.
Property allows pets. I have never stayed with my own but they do accept them. Just check to see what the requirements are. Staff is amazing. Breakfast is good! Room was cleaned!
