We told the maintenance guy that the phone wasn’t working, and he said he doesn’t do phones. The carpet by jacuzzi ...

Love Payson. I will continue to go there often but maybe stay somewhere else.

4/5 - Good

Payson is still small enough to be quaint and is close to many national parks. It's a couple of hours drive to the White Mountains and Greer Arizona.
