The first thing that became obvious was that the gentleman manning the desk Geoff, was a very friendly outgoing and helpful guy. As we took care of the paperwork associated with getting the key for the room, he asked how long we were in town for and if we had seen anything. Telling him that we are only in for the one day that we had gone to see the glow worm cave earlier that day he immediately suggested going to locations that were within a 45-minute drive with the community. Not only did he recommend we go to see the Marokopa Falls and the Natural Bridge, he pulled up pictures and directions on Google Maps so I could see them. He also recommended a number of local restaurants to grab a meal at. He emphasized thst both of the places were free and a quick easy walk into ftom tge parking lot. My 14 year old son went. We easily found both and they were stunning. The room was as advertised with a queen size bed, twin bed, a well appointed kitchenette with chocolate complimentary tea, coffee and hot chocolate, and shower. It was impeccably clean and everything worked. The bed was very comfortable.

Liked: Amenities
The location was great, friendly at check in, nice to have a two bdrm, and there were nice touches with the towels, but the apartment was super perfumed, fortunately there were fans provided which helped a little, but the perfume was pretty strong and persisted through the night. There was mold in the bathroom. The refrigerator is a small hotel unit that did not freeze our ice packs.
