Pros. Small room, small tight bathroom. Noisy AC unit.

9.7Wonderful
Diane, Nov 2014

Pros. The staff was friendly and helpful in all areas - much more so than at other hotels we have visited. We would come back happily 9in fact plan to do so for next year's AZ Ironman). By then the new restaurant will be open so we will have a choice of where to eat. The outdoor pool was one of the best I have ever used. Perfect temperature and great size. And plenty of nice fluffy towels to dry off with. Your shuttle service was great - next time we won't rent a car.

Cons. Nothing
