Not bad considering the limited choice in the little town of Safford… The room was OK (but the floors could use some cleaning;-), equipped with a basic coffee maker… (not the kind that makes ‘real’ coffee;-(The breakfast is served by the lobby - it offers an OK selection of cereal and breads, there was also some fresh fruit. Don’t expect to swim in the pool (at least not until the summer). The wi-fi works well… In general OK, but if they addressed a couple of small issues, it would be much nicer…

Everything was ok except for the road noise and hearing everybody's conversation as they walked by. If town wasn't quiet from 9pm-5am this was have been horrible. Bed was comfortable. Bacon, eggs and sausage were good in the morning.

Hotel is a dorm for dozens of construction workers and mine workers. Doors open as they wander from room to room laughting and drinking until late into the night. At 10:30 I asked them to take their loud foul conversations elsewhere and they moved to another area. Pitty that guest. Limited hotels in the area drive the price over what you would pay in Hawaii.

Its central location is convenient for shopping and visiting our family. A little road noise but not bad.

By far the most ghetto hotel I've ever stayed in. They allow drug dealers to live here. There must have been 5 people in the room above me that literaly screamed and yelled, laughing and partying all night long. Cars coming in and out with loud music and exhausts. The rooms are way overpriced, at $206 when I stayed. Safford, AZ is a dump in general but this hotel.was rough, more so thanks to the trash they allow to stay here.

Excellent service on phone when we called ahead to make some- day reservation. And excellent check in at front desk when we arrived. Our room was perfect. Everything clean and fresh. Outside area clean. Wi-Fi worked great, Location convenient to restaurants. There was a tasty, hot breakfast with a nice lady keeping everything stocked, fresh, and the area neat,

Always a great place to stay when you're in Safford. Comfortable rooms, great breakfast. Parking can be tight at times. Good places to eat within walking distance. Haven't stayed in the newly renovated rooms yet. The laundry isn't currently available...
