I had no idea it was an open construction site- piles of ruble everywhere, taped off entry to pool, no one working at the pool, no drinks or food. A/C rattled and was loud but at least it worked. Random mini fridge on the floor- just very disappointing!

The staff was GREAT!! However very disappointed with the room. The tub was not clean. And, we booked a room with patio and walk out to the pool specifically splurging for our anniversary. When we arrived, there was a construction fence blocking the patio and pool. It was about a foot away from the glass doors so you couldn’t even see outside! They were very accommodating about moving us to another room the next day. But very disappointed.

Liked: Staff & service
We loved the fact that the company clearly wants to fix up the facility and that they are updating a "vintage" building, style. However, this was a total party place. A DJ was cranked on full volume from 12-5 with sing alongs in the pool and yellow pool water. Loud and gross are the words that come to mind. I would not recommend this place unless you are looking for these specific things.

Stood the weekend here for a concert and absolutely enjoyed our stay Old town is in walking distance, so didn’t have to worry about an Uber Old town is full of shops, restaurants and bars plenty to do The staff at the hotel were very nice The swimming pool areas were fun and clean besides the lounging beds probably could use a washing, but other than that, had an overall good experience.

Run Down

The pool was out of service for 12 hours to be shocked. There was a large crowd day drinking during the day, so it wasn’t difficult to infer why the pool was closed and shocked. The hotel is definitely older and I had difficulty finding the check in area because it looks nothing like it does in the pictures. The room was small and there were a few bugs on the wall, which prompted me to check for bedbugs. Did not find any and it is Arizona, so I excused the few bugs. I was woken up around 3AM and kept up for a half hour by people yelling. While this is near old town, still isn’t acceptable. I didn’t realize until that moment that there wasn’t even a phone in the room to call the front desk. I would not book here again. Unless you need to be minutes from Old Town, I would look elsewhere.
