“What stands out is its embrace of Southwestern style and the thoughtfully designed adventure packages; dining, though, seems pricey for the quality, a common theme in this gateway town. Its proximity to the canyon is its greatest strength, even if the walls are thin. I think it's a solid base for exploration, as long as you temper expectations on food and noise.”
