the pool was my favorite feature - it got a lot of sun, was surrounded by palm trees, and had a nice view of the mountains. the employees were friendly and helpful. their complimentary breakfast was a lot more than I expected... the room was clean and comfortable, although you had to unplug something to plug in the microwave, or your phone charger, etc... the fixtures/decor were a little outdated, but overall, it really was a great value for how much we paid. it's also really close to everything (not far from airport), lots of great stores and restaurants nearby.
