Upon arrival, no one at front desk but when she got there very nice, room had broken dresser no trash liners, and a washtowel already left in trash bin, needed to be less expensive for the poor place, some wood glue would have fixed the drawer, and dollar tree has trash liners. Too bad they don't give refunds for such a run down place, and 100$ deposit sheesh!!

This was our first stop to see the Native American artisans. I wish I had done this 2nd or 3rd so I would have known that their prices were very low and the quality mostly high.
