| - A friend, whom I was meeting in Arizona, selected the hotel and just told me where to book my room. I gave her my simple criteria, under $120 a night and a continental breakfast. She came back with this place at $130 a night and it's in a crummy area. I wasn't amused.
Positive #1-I booked on Hotels.com a few days after her and the price had been reduced to $109. FYI-Hotels.com honored the lower price for her.
Positive #2-I had a studio suite and it was nice. Laid out well, clean, fresh and modern. The bed was comfortable, good water pressure, and there was a refrigerator for me to store all my water bottles.
Positive #3-They offer a fantastic continental breakfast each morning. Eggs, fresh fruit, freshly made waffles, toast, yogurt, meat, cereals. You name it! The staff was attentive and kept the area stocked and clean.
Positive #4-A few nights a week they have something called The Mix where they serve a small dinner and beverages (beer and wine). Our first night they had hamburgers but we didn't attend. The second night was meatball sandwiches and that was our dinner. It wasn't fancy but it was good and free. Frozen meatballs in sauce with mozzarella melted over the top. They offered hamburger buns, fresh watermelon, and a nice salad. There was also a small selection of beer and wine. All you could eat and drink. It was perfection.
Negative #1-The area surrounding the hotel is bad. I did, however, feel safe on the property because it's tucked away a bit. I also felt safe leaving my car outside.
I would not hesitate to stay here again.
