The hotel's location couldn't be better, perfect for downtown exploration and close to all amenities and nightlife. The service was exceptional with a very nice and friendly staff. However, the rooms need updating and are smaller than expected, and the dining options are limited to soup only.

I found the hotel's location to be excellent for exploring downtown, just a block away from the lively bar row. The rooms, however, were a letdown as they felt outdated, hidden in a corner with a unpleasant odor. The staff made up for it with their great service, though they could use a break now and then. Overall, a mixed experience with some ups and downs.

The hotel is conveniently located near the main street with a variety of restaurants and bars. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, though a bit cramped in the living room/kitchenette area. The service provided was exceptional with friendly and accommodating staff offering extra sheets for the sofa. The location is perfect for those wanting to experience the night life in Havasu and visit attractions like The London Bridge. On the downside, the bathroom cleanliness was lacking, with poorly maintained tubs. Overall, a good choice for those looking for a lively area to stay.

The hotel rooms with 2 beds are in need of updating, featuring broken/loose tiles in the bathroom. The location is great, about a block to bar row and the staff is very friendly. However, the room looked outdated, like something from the 60's, and was located in a corner of the building that smelled like urine and cigarettes.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was excellent, just steps away from the vibrant bar row and The London Bridge, making it convenient to explore the area. However, the rooms were a bit disappointing, feeling more like small apartments than a cozy motel, and the darkness required keeping the lights on even during the day. Despite this, the friendly service and extra touches provided by the staff made the experience better.
