That is one of the best best Western hotels that I have stayed in. Love the motif the cleanliness having a restaurant and bar on site and being blocks away to old town would highly recommend.
The staff were all very kind and helpful. The restaurant has some great choices, and there are many options in Old Town and The Sawmill..both one can be shuttled to..Tip the Shuttle Drivers Well!!
The staff was all very friendly. What really won me over is the cute little dog bowls they had in our room. It's so nice they they are a pet friendly hotel that understand people traveling with pets. The room was very comfortable and super clean.
The location and the property were excellent.
Very nice rooms , and the staff is very accommodating. We will definitely be staying here again on our trips to az
