Travel tips
Because the hotel sits along AZ-179 in a commercial area, having a car can make it easier to reach trailheads and viewpoints such as Bell Rock (about 2.4 km) and Red Rock State Park (about 7.3 km), as well as farther outings like Montezuma Castle National Monument (about 19.8 km). If you’re sensitive to noise, consider requesting a room away from exterior doors, as some guests mention sound transfer in those locations. A few reviews note limited daily refresh service and occasional missing bathroom items at arrival, so it can help to check supplies in your room early in the stay.
