This is a really nice motel. Grounds very clean, flowers are beautiful. Room much much bigger then I thought. Separate bedroom kitchenette living room area. We'll definitely stay here again.And actually, looking into staying for a month to get out of that Arizona heat. Close to attractions like the zoo.

The hotel is modest: its property, the upkeep of it, the breakfast, etc. The staff is lovely: warm, helpful, very 'human'.
