Very clean, actually very quiet for me and my two boys 12/9. Super spacious and thought out things in rooms like the swivel TV. They had cookies and lemonade stand during the day. Parking so close and cheap. Only thing we were slightly disappointed about was the pool. It looks full size in pic but is only 3ft. We still were able to play and cool off. Great views and rooftop area though all together. Def staying here on game night again for ASU!

I had already paid through expedia, but was charged again (and for more..) upon arrival. This was on top of "incidentals" too.. So after IMMEDIATELY taking the money from my account they said it would returned in 7 to 10 days.. i got a "sorry about that".. I didn't get to do the things i wanted to do on my vacation because my spending money was hijacked for no reason.
