Stay in Apache Junction

Had a wonderful 5 day stay at this property. Was a good jumping off point for area hiking, breweries, and air museums in both Phoenix area and Tucson area. All amenities were as advertised and appreciated. Apartment was very clean, bed was very comfortable, and it included all amenities necessary for a short or longer stay. Lots of thought was put into what visitors need at this location and it showed. Would highly recommend for any solo or couple travelers looking for comfortable and relaxing stay in the area.
