The location was handy to everything

The unit lacked cleanliness and the shower water pressure was non existent. We had no replacement of coffee or sugar

"Very clean and tidy. Friendly cat 🐈 too."

9.0

The proprietor was really friendly and gave excellent advice of place’s to go, which we did. The Marokopa Falls are definitely worth going to. Out of three places we stayed this was the only one that fridge worked properly.

More comfy outdoor chairs.

"Very Good"

7.0

The room itself was clean and well maintained and adequately appointed. However outside the unit was very untidy and we felt anxious driving up and going to the office because of the outside appearance particularly entrance and yard.

We were relieved to find the unit clean and adequate for our one night stay.

"Home away from home."

10.0

Everything we could need was there including a small bottle of milk for our coffee/tea. Absolutely immaculate. We arrived late and we had a notice which was our room, name on the door, and everything ready. Full kitchen made us wish we could stay longer.

Host was lovely, so helpful and informative about the area. Room a bit dated but clean and comfortable, amenities all included, great for one night stay to see the Glow worms 🪱

A little noisy being pretty close to main hway, trucks start very early. Ear plugs worked a treat
