The hotel is ideally situated, just a few minutes from Balcony Walk, making it perfect for exploring the area. The rooms were set up nicely with tables and a sofa, but the availability of larger bed options would be an improvement. The service was attentive, going the extra mile to fulfill our requests and offering room service. The location is fantastic for canyon enthusiasts, but may lack appeal for others. The dining options varied from delicious to basic. The facilities were well-equipped and satisfactory, offering local products.
