Liked: Cleanliness

Dated but clean; not a lot amenities

It is in a good location. Unfortunately there was no pool, but understandable considering water is scarce. The pillows and bed were not great, but ok for one night. There is a cafeteria there that makes breakfast to order. The unfortunate part is that they offer canyon tours from the hotel, but you have to check out before the tour. So if you do the half day that get back at 1pm, you're out of luck to take a shower. Maybe they could start at 8, get back at noon and make checkout at 12:30 so you can shower. Because sitting in the back of their open-air vehicles is nice, but the dust sticks to your sunscreen.

Overall, a nice clean room and property. For us the bed was too hard and the portion of the bathroom with the toilet and shower was really tight.
