This is a really nice motel. Grounds very clean, flowers are beautiful. Room much much bigger then I thought. Separate bedroom kitchenette living room area. We'll definitely stay here again.And actually, looking into staying for a month to get out of that Arizona heat. Close to attractions like the zoo.
