The room was very clean,the staff was super friendly, helpful and welcoming. The mattress and the pillows were very comfortable, and the sheets and towels were better quality than many hotels. The views of the desert and mountains were lovely.

Hotel McCoy - Art, Coffee, Beer, Wine
A cool retro vibe with modern touches. We liked the art and murals throughout the property. The room was clean with blackout curtains and the bed was comfortable. As Gen Xers, we loved the little video game area and pinball lounge. We would stay again !
