Its central location is convenient for shopping and visiting our family. A little road noise but not bad.

Not bad considering the limited choice in the little town of Safford… The room was OK (but the floors could use some cleaning;-), equipped with a basic coffee maker… (not the kind that makes ‘real’ coffee;-(The breakfast is served by the lobby - it offers an OK selection of cereal and breads, there was also some fresh fruit. Don’t expect to swim in the pool (at least not until the summer). The wi-fi works well… In general OK, but if they addressed a couple of small issues, it would be much nicer…

We are crippled (use canes) and had to walk a LONG way, just to find out where the ice machine was. There seemed to be only one and it was not close. Other than that, stay was okay. Not great.

Very hard mattress & noisy until 10pm The staff was great, but location right on the main road was very noisy. Fortunately it quieted down about 10pm. Room was clean and very nice... BUT... the bed was very, very hard. I could never stay here again due to the hard mattress.
