The resort fully exceeded my expectations. I stayed in a standard room and it was fully renovated. It had a spacious double sink bathroom and bedroom. The air conditioning worked perfectly and the smart television was big. The breakfast offered a superb, great variety.

Fantastic stay near the canyon

summer camplive musicpool standard
The room felt new and very comfortable. I enjoyed the atmosphere AROUND the resort. It reminded me of going to an adult summer camp. Happy hour and live music at night were nice. The sunsets were killer. This place is highly recommended.
The pool did not meet the standards I expect FOR this type of hotel. It definitely needs an upgrade. This detail was disappointing given the otherwise high quality of the resort.
Location

The hotel is located adjacent to a gas station. It provides immediate access to fuel and basic supplies. This is convenient, ESPECIALLY given the remote setting. There is no need to worry about long drives for necessities.
