Perfect Stay - Awesome People

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

"Stayed for 10 days and it was perfect for us. The people that work there were super friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and very clean. Kitchenette was a plus and heat and AC worked perfectly. Pool was well maintained and the set up around it made it feel like a little resort oasis in the busy surrounding area. Center to all things Gem Show related and felt very secure with the key card access gate. Funny part was during my first Gem Show 16 years ago I stayed in that hotel when it was America's Best inn. It was so shady and dumpy but was all I could find. Fast forward to this stay and it was like night and day. An amazing job renovating and breathing life into a once less desirable area. Will stay again for sure. Thanks for a great stay :)"

Absolute comfort

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

"We arrived with some doubts about the hotel, but we received a very positive response from the staff who explained all the facilities to us.
The pool was at an optimal temperature and the palm trees were decorated with lights.
I appreciated that in the laundry section they have arcade machines to pass the time while the laundry is getting done.
The breakfast was very complete.
Spacious rooms with kitchenettes.
I also appreciated that the vehicles and the entire place are fenced in, making it difficult for outsiders to wander around."
