First time staying here. Great staff, very friendly and helpful.The rooms were great and the beds were very comfortable. Really clean rooms with great coffee. I loved the courtyard and the little desert animals that visit. Would definitely recommend this place especially to big groups looking to stay together. Will be back soon. courtyard

This is a high quality hotel. Only discomfort came because the AC system in our room was unable to cool room enough for it to be comfortable.

Although I did spot a few hairs and tiny black stains on the bed linens, those minor (and fairly common) imperfections weren't enough to dock a star from otherwise very clean, comfy, quiet place to spend night.

Small town America

Was a pleasant stay. Like supporting the small town. Historical place. Chill vibe. They need to post their WiFi code in the rooms. The town does not use T-Mobile just a heads up.

This was a unique location in an old school. We slept in a large classroom. The location was perfect for our trip the next morning. It also seems like a great locatio for a conference.
