Clean, but not what was advertised.

The pictures of the "suite" and the actual "suite" were not anything alike. The description claimed to be a 2-bedroom suite, but when we arrived (with another couple, there were not two bedrooms, just 2 beds which was very uncomfortable for 2 couples who expected privacy. These were not separate rooms. There were no doors and if one couple needed to use the bathroom, they had to walk past the other couple's bed. There was no privacy. Also, only 2 coffee mugs, no plates, etc. What's the point of getting a suite if it is not properly equipped. When we complained to the man that checked us in, he said, " You can go down the street and get rooms there if you don't like it." Place was clean, but not at all what they advertised

Cute and quaint

Very nice. Could used some more chair and more lovely Southwest decor but overall it was a decent hotel. The only clubs was our hotel door lock. You have to pull hard to engage the lock or keep the door from coming open. And the shower seal was not good and flooded the floor.

The room appeared to be recently remodeled which was nice. Maybe an extra small table in the sink area for toiletries as the sink is very small and hard to accommodate these items. A large area rug would be awesome to absorb noise and make the room more comfortable. We could hear every step from the upstairs rooms. Hooks for towels were not avaliable.

It has potential, had a small fridge but has never been used because power cord wont reach outlet, o ice machine broke. It has a sign on shower door saying if you want hot water for your shower please run the water for 15 minutes, Were sorry for the inconvenience Really! In a drought 30 units running water each 15 minutes, if we needed anything to come back staffed till 9, nope sign uplong before that closed, left 8:30 am next morning still closed It has potential to be a great boutique hotel just needs some pride.

Decent for price

The rooms are decent and renovated. Definitely had a musty smell when we entered, but AC worked well. All lights outside the room at kept on all night so it was hard to sleep, even with the window shades down. We could hear people laughing in the room next door, so walls must not be very sound proof. Overall, a decent stay for the price.

I am absolutely perplexed as to how things could have been this bad. I arrived late (9PM) and my room door was propped open. The bed was wonderful but there was mouse poop, a dirty floor and-- here's the kicker-- only two wash cloths, a towel and a bath mat... which I wish I had realized before hopping in the shower. They claim they have 24 hour service but it took 11 hours to get towels, despite multiple texts and calls to the after-hours folks. I never even got a response on the towel front: I managed to intercept a house keeper to get them. There was no room service while I was there and one roll of TP doesn't cover an extended trip. Ditto on the coffee. I really don't understand how this could have been that bad. I stayed here once before and it was good. I can't see ever going back.

Good enough but rather uncomfortable

Nice enough motel, with a mid-century flair. Unfortunately, the beds are so, so uncomfortable. Our backs may hurt for the next week. Although a nice-to-have, there was also no place semi-comfortable to sit in the room, and the TV was weirdly mounted in a way that made it difficult to watch.
