Nice but very basic.

The receptionist was very friendly and check in was a breeze. The amenities however, couldn't be more basic. 2 little bars of soap and although clean, there was only 1 bath towel for 2 people. There were several hand towels though. There's no coffee in the room. Very basic but clean.

Terrible place to stay

The stay was horrible. Yuma is the 2nd hottest place in the United States. They had the AC turned off in the room when we got there. It took 2 hours to cool it down. That’s absolutely terrible customer service. Ridiculously thin towels and a bed extremely gard.

its a $70 room

hiked all day and didnt want to drive back to san diego at 9pm so i grabbed a quick spot. not gonna lie, for the price it was great! however you can tell its a $70 hotel room. the room and bathroom was clean and the a/c worked great. you can tell it was painted multiple times.... holes from mounting brackets were everywhere andyou can tell areas were patched and painted multiple times. for $70 a night i was happy with my expeirence. given proper planning and time, i would choose a place that has breakfast.
