We pulled into the Hawthorn after a 14 hour drive during a move from Oregon to Arizona. We chose to stay here because we were traveling with our dog and they had a very reasonable pet fee $10 and parking for our moving truck. When we arrived the guy behind the counter basically said he didn't know where we could park since the parking was all taken so we had to figure that out, but our check in was pretty quick and easy.
It was HOT in the halls, but the room was well airconditioned and clean. It definitely did not have any fancy features and if I was traveling without my pet I would have stayed somewhere else, but if worked for what we needed.
There is not much within walking distance to eat, but there is a shopping center across the street with some choices.
