"We were in the Safford area to engage in day hikes in the Aravaipa Canyon and Mt. Graham area. The hotel was great. The staff were extremely helpful. The dining options in Safford and Thatcher weren't great, but if you are travelling to the area for the hiking, it is hard to beat. I would highly recommend this hotel."
